Its not so bad I stopped eating any fast food several months ago when I started weight training and Ive never felt better. I just live off high protein foods now and its cheaper too when you look for deals at the grocery store.

It seems to have been well cared for. The previous owner said he used Amsoil. He said it was due for an oil change when I got it but the oil didnt even look dirty.

Thanks for the replies. The truck has just over 173k miles. The only reason I was hesitant to use the T5 next time is by then we will be in the hottest part of the year and I wasnt sure how it would hold up in the summer heat. The hardest towing I do is hauling a few horses.

I recently aquired a 01 f250 that was due for an oil change so I used Delo and felt ok with that. After some reading on here many have said that the 7.3 HPOP will shear a 40 down to a 30 rather quickly and sort of stabilize there. So that being said some have claimed it is better to start off...

Im going to look at a 2000 model dodge ram 2500 with the cummins 24 valve this weekeind. My question is to any experts or owners what are some things I should check for other than the usual suspects on this truck? Thanks for any help or input.

Thats awesome.

What mods does the car have?

How often is it doing it? Everytime you back off the throttle? Just when you snap the throttle shut really fast? I would get a wideband o2 sensor and a fuel controller and check it out. Check for leaks in the exhaust system too.

Hey they got me too. I spent several hours on Wednesday compounding and polishing my car. Came outside yesterday to find it bird bombed. I wasnt even near any trees.

Yep those would be the lower tube seals.

I switched to the Rotella and have not used a drop during the past couple oil changes. In the past any xxw30 oils I have used started to be burned by about the 1500 mile mark. You wont be dissapointed.

My last one was an 81. I had 16in. panasports on it, raised compression, cam, header. Loved that car and still miss it. The L series really likes to rev when you bump the compression and free up the breathing. The new struts will make a world of difference they are notoriously too soft when new.

Check out this old Tercel 4WD video.

I love datsuns. I have always used Rotella 15w40 in my past z cars with good results. Any pics of the car?

Have you looked at the cool blue light thats sylvania has? According to their chart they are about the same as the xtravision just blue in color. I have used the silverstars before and they worked very well and have a slightly blue tint to them. The only problem is they dont last nearly as long...

I learned to drive on a manual and have had 5 cars since that time and they have all had a manual transmission. Its all I will ever have unless I get to a point where I cant drive one. I just cant understand why someone would view it as a distraction unless they arent experienced with a manual...

Any pics of the Elise? My dream car.
