Changed the oil and rotated the tires.
Tires are wearing evenly (pressures are where they need to be but I could go a little higher in the front), right rear tread is worn slightly more than the rest (I need a real LSD so the left rear wears the same
).
I also ran about 8oz. of MMO and 8oz. of Seafoam for 36 miles prior to changing the oil. I don't know if this was long enough or a strong enough ratio to do anything, but it's what I had and figured it was better than just trashing it.
It didn't appear to do anything, but maybe my engine is just clean inside. I mean, it hasn't had any lifter tap since I used Pennzoil Platinum on that last oil change, so maybe it cleaned out whatever was making them stick.
Oil with 6K on it, it's about 1/2 a quart low:
Oil after 8oz. of Seafoam and 8oz. of MMO, ran for 36 miles:
I can't tell a difference in the color of the oil. So, either my concoction cleaned out nothing or there was nothing for it to clean out. Before I ever started it for that 36 mile trip to go pick up a filter, I popped out the oil filler neck to see inside the valve cover. It was beautiful in there.
My new favorite oil (peep that Airaid
):
Oh- for all of you BITOG guys, I'm not interested in debating Seafoam vs. MMO vs. "additive X" vs. "nothing". I saw the two half empty bottles of MMO and Seafoam and figured it couldn't hurt. I have trans fluid I could've dumped in there as well, but I wasn't shooting for anything like that. I did a little digging to see if either should NOT be used and if either was better than the other. I didn't find anything concrete so I mixed 'em. No harm, no foul, more shelf space.

Just finished installing my K and N intake from @BlackOh7on22s and replacing a 3157 turn signal in my retrofit. Pretty tired but alone time in the garage was nice, time for a test spin!

Pics or it didn't happen
Uploading as we speak. Also uploading a video with tune as well. Really shifted nice and crisp once I added the tuner, the intakenis way louder in the truck, and seems to hold gears a little longer.

Did the version 2 g5 tails. Not sure if I like them yet.
They are different but I don't hate them. The vertical lines with the slight curve give it some dimension errr uniqueness lol.
Got a link by chance?
Can't remember if you have OEM or Esky appliqués?

Light bar down low and LEDs behind grille are a sneaky addition. Nice.
