    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Whats the best way to add the ground pepper into the radiator then? Been told to leave it running with the cap off for 5 minutes, been also told to let it get up to operating temps (cap off) and then add it in.

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    New cap for the radiator? Eh sure why not I suppose. Would me adding more black pepper do anything? Heard it could mess up the water pump, heater core, etc.

Ive noticed days or weeks where ive been on the...

    6.2 can keep up https://photos.app.goo.gl/qPRPYs1YSQMWkcxN8 Will say, and dont get me wrong, O/D works as it should (best performance ever actually, probably due to the low elevation). Been cruising at 65-70 more than lately though. Doesnt seem to want to go past that.
