ima say its the driver trying to make it up that hill

 

Ima have to agree.

 

First link is useless.. They send the kit out for free but unless you have the know how on how to read the test results you will have to pay 25.00 bucks to them to give you the results.


I've actually read a lot about what that guy says in your second link. Anyone that wants info on oil I would strongly recommend the second link. Main reason on why I run full synthetic.

 

same here no dino oil for me

 

LOL well unfortunately/ fortunately.. i got a nail in my BFG KM2 in the shoulder..so not repairable so it was off with the 33" tires and back to the 265/75/r16 BFG AT with almost no tread left what so ever.. 40k miles on them and i get around town in 2wd. lol and ramon you can tell your xrunner friends to suck it cause i pulled 2 out today with "Bald tires"

 

ha ha well told you to get the duratracs not these pos mt's ha ha pulled out to xrunners my o my!

 

bahaha.... hieu must have been driving those xrunners.....

 

today would be a great electronics mod day, hmm ramon how many leds do i need to change the dash lights

 

I can't remember.... If I had to guess.... 2 for the fuel, 2 for the engine temp, 3 for the odometer, 3 for the MPH, and 2 for the rpms..... If I remember correctly....

 

I too run full synthetic oil for numerous reasons.
Ive seen the test results! They do an awesome job. It's too cheap to find out if there is any containments in your oil. Your oil tells a lot about the condition of your engine.
All this for $25 bucks. HECK YEA!!!

Don't need to analyze it unless you think you need it.... I don't. My oil after 3000 miles still looks new on the dipstick.... You will have wear and tear on your truck no matter how you drive it..... so the test results are gonna show wear.... so I really don't see exactly how this works.... oil is meant to break down after an extended period of time which means these tests are only good for if you are planning on buying a car....

 

I agree with you bro, you said it. "Don't need to analyze it unless you think you need it"

I have never analyzed my oil cuz i have never had problems. But needless to say its a good resource to bookmark.

 

Indeed it is.

 

if its gonna snow can it snow more then a few inches! that way all the people who cant drive in it will stay home!

 

it snowed quite a bit up here.

 

so what kinda oil filters is everyone running? im going to start running oem yota's, i usually pick up a mobil 1 filter or fram tg, but from reading that thread about the amount of actual filter media being the highest in oem filters im going that route.

how much snow you got up that way ramon?
