I Havent Left Yet!

Well they pulled me from the list.. I'm staying behind to train 40 new privates coming in from AIT.. Kinda cool but also stinks because I was looking forward to heading out to kuwait again..

As for the truck.. She is GREAT! I dont know if ya'll remember me talking about her being stiff and running weird.. Well I flipped over to Havoline 10W30 from Motorcraft 5W20 and shes running wonderful.. I could tell a remarkable difference.. I believe that 5W wasnt holding too good with the intense heat waves we got down here in central texas.. Plus the heavy loads I've been moving around..

good deal then man. I thought motorcraft is a better rated oil than havoline, why didnt you go to MC 10w30?

I was going off what BrianA uses.. I'm going to get a UOA on the havoline then one using MC.. I found a place locally that will do a UOA for 10 bucks and I dont have to mail it across the US..

Yup, that's a pretty good mix of oil if I say so myself...and I do. BUT, I also would change at 3000 or less...I'm brave enough to go over.
