Well, the truck is doing much better now with it's new TPS, fresh oil and filter. The old filter internals actually moved around inside... Turns out my sister never changed the oil or filter the whole time she had it. I was a heavy leaker for a while because the front main seal actually ripped out. She seemed to think since she was pouring oil through it that it wouldn't need changed, but I fixed the seal and still didn't change it. I also had tried to get them to just at least change the filter through the leaking time, nope. And she wonders why I get upset...
