He said his #8 injector went out.And now he's got too put money into the truck to fix it.

I asked,What are your OCI's?

He say's,I don't know...like 12-13,000 miles.

Alot of these guys buy into the OTR philosophy that with proper filtering they can go TOO LONG on oil changes...sad they buy into that crap

"oil is cheaper than steel."

"consider how stupid the average person is, and
then realize that half of them are stupider than that."

the extended fluid change mania is astounding.
when i bought my 6.0 and they said.... 100k coolant
change..... i thought it was a typo. changed it at 30,
60, and 90k.... of all the engines to postpone coolant
changes on.... geez....

and oil changes, the same thing.... HEUI, and let's all
put in amsoil, and go 100k miles on the oil....

i didn't put a fast dump valve in place of the oil pan
plug cause it looks purty.....

Really? I thought the plug was a MPG mod!

When I first bought my truck, they gave free oil changes for as long as I owned it. Every 3000 miles, like any other vehicle. Sadly, I moved. But did get 6 oil changes!
