Another older van in my collection of 3500 Savanas. 2006 3500 model with 6.0 gas engine. Driver told me the idle has been deteriorating and it felt sluggish.
Drove it today and it felt like it was towing a trailer. Logs say this unit has also started using a bit of oil, less than a quart per month, which is a LOT of miles for us.
Before I took off this AM I put 2 cups Kreen in the oil, topped her off with M1 0w-40 and put 2 cups in the gas with 3/4 tank.
Before I even got to the first job she was all smooth and sweet at idle, I can imagine the [censored] being melted out of the motor. I'll report again soon on the oil consumption as I will be watching this one closely.
