Oregon and Washington BS thread

I'll second the Discount Tire on 82/Sunnyside. They've never done wrong by me. Purchased wheels and tires from them and get them rotated/balanced/inflated every 3,000 miles. Never had an issue.

 

hey gents, what's the difference between this thread and the meet/bs thread? where would one fit in for an eastern washington/ walla walla area bs thread?

 

That thread would only be like three people, and I'm one of them. Posting applicable local stuff is fine here, it's just a bullshit thread.

 

I'm just trying to figure out what bs thread I belong in haha

 

Get in where ya fit in I guess. We're doing the OBDR May 13-16 if you want to go. http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/spring-2016-obdr.902411/

 

Both

 

This thread tends to be more Oregon guys. The other thread tends to be more western WA guys. Plenty of guys go to both though.

 

What he said ^
Generally we talk about more NW WA meet stuff in the other thread and here is where topics tend to be a little broader.

Like for example been meaning to ask if anyone has a personal preference on diesel oil? Changing my dads truck at 10k+ miles with just Rotella T or Delo makes me nervous for some reason... everyone I know changes at like 5k, but the meter in the truck is supposed to be "adaptive" and says it can go 12,500. Its a 2013 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 cummins.

 

I always go 7500 miles on ours, they tell us it's okay to do 10k miles though.

 

Just normal 15w-40?

 

Yeah I think so. I can check when I get home tonight

 

Delo 30. Period. Every 100 or so hours. I have had boat engines run 30000 plus hours without rebuild with that regimen.

 

Have a 2016 DCLB arriving next week. Trying to figure out what most guys are running for tires in our area. Like that the Cooper AT3 has a 275/70/17 C load but haven't heard a lot of feedback from it. 275/70/17 KO2 load range E to heavy for mpg and stiff? Thanks guys.

NEP moved to OC

 

Mobil 1 full synthetic, I run the 5w-30 as does the 140+ busses in the fleet. Never once have we got an oil sample back and the oil been the failure. We customize our busses, depending on the engine , to run anywhere between 6-12,000 miles

 

I've been told by a few diesel shops and the dealer that synthetic doesn't make a big enough difference in diesels to justify the cost?

 

Justrode in a 2016 tundra

Damn

 

Owned a Tundra before the Tacoma. Can't park that SOB anywhere.

 

Was so close to getting a Tundi but it was just too much for just myself.

...and that^

 

I will look into thAt.

Damn... I thought most people only run 5w-40 in cold winter temps...

 

I do oil changes in my 6.0l around 5k, but there have been many times that 10k has rolled around than I do it. Don't work dakota, just throw the Delo 15-40 at it and move on lol.
