Are summers here in Ohio are usually in the mid to upper 80's and nights are about in the low to mid 60's I'm curious to see what a UOA would look like in my truck running a 30wt, no particular brand,,,op

Well, After some research, pricing etc... I've decided to try PP 5w30. My truck is 8 years old. I go to college so I need to save a few bucks but I can't justify on paying $5 1/2 bucks a quart for oil anymore. I do alot of highway commuting, about 400 miles on a weekend total and then maybe...

After all, LC does claim you can run a full 10,000 miles on dino oil. Anyone here ever done it? op

I see these products all the time at Autozones, Meijer's etc... Everytime I see these bottles I have this thing where I like flip the bottle upside down and ever so slowly watch the bubble rise up. I laugh my *** off literally whenever I do this. Having all that said, my Ranger is due for an...

Well I got my Magnaflow exhaust installed yesterday and I am very pleased with it. It's exactly what I was looking for. A nice low tone sound w/o the raspy sound. Hope you like it,,,,op http://www.hosted.generationblueoval.com/SOUNDFILES/oilpan%20sound%20clip

I got about 5000 miles or so on my M1 5w30, SX-UP, LC, 15w50 and MC filter, yea I know, I like additives. My PCV breather mod eventually to come around and shows it's ugly face on my dipstick, I fixed it and everything is fine now. But to ensure everything IS fine, I want to change the oil...

Now that I've got the mechanicals and the basics squared away on the truck, I figure it's time to get some more ponies from my Ranger. So far I've had a cold air intake on it for about several months now and loving it, but then again, I haven't done a UOA since installing it so I don't know if...

Well, what I thought I was going good for my truck by installing breather filters, was not a good idea and just down right wrong. So before any problems develop in my truck, I would like to correct this problem. All I know about catch systems is they seperate the oil and fumes and prevent them...

Looking for an Amsoil dealer in Ohio. I'm willing to drive 35 miles from Willard if the price is right. Thanks,,,,op

I did this mod to my truck in hopings for improved response and better mileage. The truck does run smoother, does seem to have alittle more ooomph. I probably could've used a catch can but.....????????????? anyway. The only downside of this mod is the oil smell at idle. It is not strong but the...

If you switch viscosities but stick with the same brand of oil will this skew results? Thanks,,,op

The day before Thanksgiving Ohio gets dumped on with about 1-3" of snow and salt. Great timing for me because I came home for Thanksgiving from college. Roads weren't too bad, other parts were so so. I feel pretty confident my truck as it is now will make it through the winter without giving...

first off I'll say the search engine on this forum is not making me a happy camper to put in a nice way Second, vad posted a thread somewhere sometime ago with his valve covers off after using RL in engine for sometime. Maybe someone can scrounge up that thread? thank you,,,,op

If a cat clogs, does it have this "rotten egg" smell? or is just carbon build up? Our Tracker does still have this smell but the performance of it is fine? op

My truck is getting a new Magnaflow high flow cat. I havn't miked it and don't have access to one. I suspect the size is 2" My truck is equipped with a 2.5L 4banger and 2wd. Anyone have an idea how big the piping is? Thanks,,,op

There I saw in the back row, brand new 2006 Super duties!! both 3/4 ton and 1 ton! Chrome frontend! They even come with a billet grill as factory! Chrome wheels, I think there either 17 or 18" ? They had a black SD, dark blue 350 SD and a few others. I am very pleased with the looks of the new...

I'll be in there for about an hour or so if anyone cares to join? See you there op

Hey BITOG members, I had my name changed from Airborne Ranger to this. Due to some confusion from some members on here thinking I was a real Airborne Ranger in the Military, which I am not, hence the name change. I only chose Airborne Ranger previously because little did I know that there is...

Tonight was guys night out for me. Dad and I rented the movie Full Metal Jacket. I thought this was an excellent flick! Well thoughtout and non-fictional stuff that would happen during Vietnam. The Drill Sargeant(sp?) at the beginning made me laugh out loud literally. I would say a few lines...

I recently changed the oil in our 97 Tracker. I'm not sure if it's the oil, the LC or both working but not even 100 miles into the oil change, the is starting to turn brown! When I changed the oil, it was clear. Right now the color looks about like faded light brown. Now that I think about it...
