I just read through my bible (read: owners manual) again and in the back it says I should put 87 Octane in my truck and use 5w30. Methinks they either didn't write proper diesel manuals or I somehow ended up with a gasser manual.

It does say 1999 model year on it though and it looks as if it could be 10 years old. It was in a case with a ton of other manuals in the glove compartment when I found it.

The owners manuals are all the same. There is also a "Diesel Supplement" that comes with our trucks. You can find that stuff online -- if you need a linky, let us know...

LOL... I got HAMMERED the last two years, so I feel pretty good this time. Remember, I was in Iraq over the summer, so I made a lot of my money tax free this year. My civilian job took taxes out like I was in my normal tax bracket, but I only made about half from them, so a big refund was inevitable...

Here's my plan for the rest of the weekend (I wish):
YouTube - Alan Jackson;Jimmy Buffett - It's Five O' Clock Somewhere
