I am running the 15k oil and extended performance oil filter. I've been running it in all of our vehicles since Mobile one first introduced it. My wifes old traverse used to burn it after 10k miles, but I haven't noticed that issue on her suburban. I am only about 5k miles in and I've checked it a lot, seems to be performing well in the Taco. I've only owned the Taco 6 months and 10k miles. Hopefully Mobile One never lets me down.

They have a warranty on their oil, so as long as you can prove the oil messed up your engine, your golden.
"ExxonMobil will replace any lubricant that is defective. In addition, if there is equipment failure due to the lubricant you purchased, and the engine was serviceable at the time the oil was installed, ExxonMobil will repair any equipment damage directly caused by a defect or malfunction of the lubricant, at no cost to you, provided that the lubricant was selected and maintained in accordance with specifications of the OEM or the written instructions (which includes product packaging) of ExxonMobil."

Monday morning, several minutes after I finally crawled into bed following the third night of my night shift, the doorbell rang. Since my wife was still home I didn’t bother to get up, I probably would not have gotten up even if she had already left for work. I could just barely hear what sounded like voices but I didn’t pay any attention to them. A minute or two later my wife came to the bedroom and said PVPD was at the door and there had been a wreck. Before she could say anything else my first thought was that one of the boys had been involved but she continued to talk and I realize she said MY truck had been involved in the wreck. Still not processing the information correctly I asked what she had said. She said a woman had hit my truck, she had pulled into our driveway to turn around and either hit the gas instead of the brake or had THOUGHT it was in reverse but wasn’t.

The patrolman had been down the street talking to the woman about her dog that had gotten out and had been reported to the police due to the dog either charging at a man walking pass the house or in some way showing aggression. While they were talking the dog was up the street in front of my house so she jumped in her Infinity SUV and drove up to get the dog. I seem to understand she had the dog in the SUV when she turned into my driveway. The patrolman was still down the street talking to the man that reported the dog when they heard the crash and knew what had just happened. The damage to my truck doesn’t appear to be very bad, my wife said the Infinity looked worse. I had thought I would just forget about the damage since it isn’t really noticeable other than the white paint from the SUV. But I’ve only had the truck for 2 ½ months and then I looked at the parts cost to replace the damaged pieces, $664.60 plus tax, paint and labor. I guess I’ll be seeing about getting some estimates. I got the chance to look at the damage in the daylight Tuesday morning and found more damage than I saw as I was leaving for work Monday evening. I took the truck in Tuesday for an estimate and currently have a best guess of $1500 to $2000. They will have a better idea after they start removing parts. If the hood is tweaked then the current guess goes $2500. I'm waiting to hear back from her insurance adjuster so I can figure out where I go from here.

I wasn't parked near the street so she had to come a ways to hit the Taco. The most obvious damage is the license plate, it wasn't bent when I parked the truck.

Oh yeah. That bumper is totaled. You should definitely put that $665 towards a nice plate bumper

That's what I'm planning to do. I was looking before and I've been doing a more serious look since. Leaning towards the ARB at this time but still have a few more I want to look at.

Its true, but like I said, I love the look of it. Also, I feel slightly better ripping across some dirt roads through moose country at 50mph with this on the front

That said, I specifically measured before and after - only lowered the font end by just about half an inch

My mobtown bumper did the same but I got that back w/ bigger tires!

He’s a truck dog for sure. Any time I’m close to the truck he sits by “his”door and whines. He love the taco as much as I do I think.

That's a great quality to have. Friend's 2 dogs hate cars...and they get car sick sometimes. But heaven forbid I make them ride in the back if she ever tags along on a weekend trip.

Ah that really sucks. I love taking Loki around. He loves the front seat but he is a little big for it now. (Our seats aren’t the biggest) Had an old timer tell me if I wanted a good dog to take him with me everywhere. And if someone didn’t like it... well I just didn’t need to be around them or go there anymore haha. One reason I go to Lowe’s instead of Home Depot

They are Chihuahuas too...don't get me started. 1 is kinda cool, the other is everything wrong with the breed.

I agree with that advice in general. Along with the adage "I am always suspicious of a person my dog doesn't like"

I just laugh when I see a chihuahua now. People probably don’t like that come to think of it. Haha

Just got back with the 10grade twins picking up the class schedules and finding the class rooms buying their student body card and gym clothes. Saw their Freshman cousin wandering around lost. Tomorrow the Senior does the same thing. There will be a cultural adjutant coming from basically a white south western Idaho to a very diveres high school here in Sacramento/Elk Grove but they will do fine. The kid at school were very friendly and helpful to them. They are excited and I have set the rules about bed time and use of devices. These kids have been through hell and need to have structure and discipline. I will be talking to the counselors and principal explaing the situation so they be give them guidance and help. At almost 76 I never thought we would be in this situation but we are, love the challange.
