One more day and I'm dropping even more $ on truck stuff.

Switching the beast over to Rotella 5w-40 synthetic. 25 bucks a gallon. OUCH! She takes 17 or so quarts including the HPOP oil. Yeow.

I run AMS Oil full synthetic, and change my eh four gallons every 5000 - 7500 miles.

I start thinking about it at 5000, and when the weather and my time coincide then I change it.

Ahh yes and another one bites the dust, I hear tomorrow will be much more pleasing then today. I suppose all the cleaning i did today would have been better tomorrow. I guess i will change the oil tomorrow and my new mud flaps aswell.

Well I'm back from night walks at the dog shelter, and everyone went home.

Guess I'll poke around the forums...

Good morning all! It does have the potential to be a very nice day today, but the frost on my windshield this morning was not exactly reassuring.

Greg

Yeah, no kidding. On the up side "spring" doesn't usually last that long. My central air will be on before you know it replacing my expensive gas bill with an expensive electric bill. Gotta love it.

A quick good morning Dave, Ray, Aaron, Andy, Greg and everyone else that follows.

Going to be a nice day here in NY for a change. I have had some snow flurries for the last few days and today the sun is out and it should get into the low 50's.
