    Question for all y'all...

    I'm about ready to do a dump'n'fill on my front and rear diffs. Running Nitro 4.88s. Used the Nitro 80W-140 lube for break-in and then the first fluid replacement. Should I stick with the 80W-140 or switch to another fluid?

    Just curious the suggestions for trucks in this climate.

    Thanks!

    Lucas 85w140. Can be had through Amazon at $8 per quart, or locally at Advance Auto, buy online pick up in store using their 20-25% off code.

    Spider mountain is some cool shit. Swung by it was closed, but got to check out some of the trails. Didn’t have my bike with me but there’s hope. Further than I thought it would be from Austin but not a bad drive at all. Most decent riding for me up here is at least 30 minutes away, the real good stuff is a few hours. Have to get back in the R.I. mindset that 20 minutes is an overnight trip.

    unfortunately I was scavenging for dinner after valentinas closed. I went to torchys because, I mean it’s better than sonic I guess. But it was like a 30 minute wait for to go tacos. From a chain place I’d been to before...and I’d never been to sonic. So I’m ashamed to say. I got sonic. But. I’m happy to say that after this visit it’s almost a definite that We’re making the big move so I’ll be sure to hit up valentinas when we move.

    Wouldn't you like to know!
    Yeah that Torchys down south is usually a 30+ min wait. I've waited 40 minutes once for 2 tacos :bananadead:
