I'm Back

I'm back y'all! I took a short little hiatus to get some necessary maintence done to my 10 year old F-150. Jesse and I recently had to change out the rear u-joint on the drive shaft and while we were back there we put some of that good heavy weight Lucas gear oil in the old 8.8 rearend to help expand its lifespan. I've also added a black diamond plate UWS over the rails toolbox and a K&N air filter. I no longer have the CB in the truck, because I realized that I didn't talk on it enough anymore to justify having it in there. So that's where i've been over the last few months.

According to Jesse the oil looked okay, but the way he figured it with the the drivetrain already having a little over 140,000 miles on it the heavy weight oil would do more good than harm. Thanks for the welcome back guys.

heavier oil is fine and all tat, but i'd still be inclined to follow manufacturer's specs. better safe than sorry. my 2 cents.
