    Short OCI?

    May be a dumb question. My truck is currently in the shop getting cam phasers replaced. (With the timing chain, guides, tensioners, water pump, etc.) When I get the truck back, would it be good to do a short OCI? Maybe 1,000-2,000 miles. Just thinking with the debris from the new metal parts...

    Tampa Motor Oil Co.

    Anyone heard of this company? tampamotoroil.com Saw an ad for them and they've got some great (read almost too great) prices on oil. For example, a 3 pack of 5-quart Mobil1 Advanced for $42.09. I looked up the address on the contact info. It comes up on Zillow as a 2-bedroom condo in Tampa...

    Tire Pressure

    Question about what psi I should be running. I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1/2 ton. The OEM tires are 245/70-17. I bought the truck with 265/70-17 on it, so that's what I've been running it with. The door jam says 35 psi but that's with OEM tires. I just bought new tires and the max tire pressure is...
