    '03 Dodge 3.9L Which Oil & How To Cleanup Engine?

    I am using this truck to get back and forth to school for the next couple years, then I'll probably trade it in on a full size truck. I know the tranny in it is pretty frail, but the engines are fairly bulletproof. Nick

    My First Post!! Which Oil For My Hot Rod???

    Okay, I've been surfing this site ever since I was linked here from Moparts.com, and WOW, have I learned a bunch about oil and filters (I already knew about the FRAM thing). I want to switch over to synthetic oil in my freshly built engine, but thought that I would throw the question to you...
