Hi guys, longtime reader of the forums, just thought I would join and share my first report on my truck I bought early last year. It has
the 5 speed manual (M5OD-R2 i think). Motorcraft oil filter.
About 200km of highway and the rest of the 3500km is city, in 8 months time. Just short 5-10 minute trips to work/uptown everyday. Fairly gentle on it with maybe half a dozen times I let her breathe deep through a gear or two
2 months of well below freezing temperatures (10-20 below).
If anyone wants to share any thoughts please do. Kinda interested in what your thoughts are. Im not loyal to any brand, Had a Canadian Tire gift card so its currently filled with Pennzoil Platinum, and with a Napa Gold oil filter
After I got it road ready (new windshield,fluids, brakes, had no running lights except for headlights, found a corroded spot in a wire under the fuse panel where a mouse had made a home and chewed on a few wires, haha, easy fix. Got some more modern headlight housings, really helps the look I think,)
