Advance sells the fleetcharge precharged coolant, so would be the best/easiest for you to use. I used rotella for many years, its good oil. Any good diesel rated oil will work.

I know this really don't belong here, but I thought I'd share some photos of the 351w I rebuilt for the 1980 f250 that I used to own. Took me a week to redo it, the brakes, and put a rebuilt trans & transfer in the truck.





And here it is in the truck

Thanks for the welcome Robbie. Those are some pretty strong fumes. Lol

Oldbird, I was very proud to hear that engine roar to life for the first time. It was 15 degrees outside and it was 11:36pm, on a Thursday. It was a great night. I promptly celebrated with sleep. Lol

Update: today after work I took that heavy, and ugly utility bed off. It has become a very rough ride. But it's is a lot quicker. I'll get me a bed this weekend. I have also replaced the fuel pump and replaced all hose's that is involved in that. Pics will be posted.

Me getting started.










Cleaned the valley and put in the new pump




Putting the bowel back in


I finished up in about 2 hours. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks to everyone who help me with this.

I'll try to update more. If anyone has any good injectors I could use a couple. I am in a tight spot right now. I don't expect a hand out but that would help out a ton. Also looking for a good hpop. Mine is weak. Have a great night everyone.

Hey guys, I just put a bed on the truck today. I spent 5 hours pulling it off the donor truck.
I ran Into a few problems but got it done. Now it's on my truck and it looks good. I'll post pics tomorrow.
