Oil level rising...

[DEZLPWR]

Just checked my oil level tonight. First time in a little while. Oil level is over the full mark, which I am almost positive it was right at "full" last time I checked it a month or so ago...
Truck was in the same place in my driveway that it always is when I check the oil. Coolant level does not appear to be down. Oil on dipstick does not appear to smell like diesel fuel.

What gives? Guess I'll just have to monitor the situation, eh? I always sample at each oil change, BTW...

Continue to check, don't sweat. Though you make the ponies, they ain't used that much, and the boost involved is not enuf to worry 'bout.

Monitor, but don't be concerned.

Gonna have to do a complete R & R one of these days, who will it be????

Take an oil sample down to Spectra Labs in Tacoma - Make sure you get the fuel dillution and silicon numbers. Last time I took a sample there it was $15 but that was many years ago. And keep a close eye on that rig of yours...

Heres the info from qwestdex.com

hehehe, that's a good question.... I think that I'm seriously at the limits of the clutch. I have yet to slip it yet, knock on wood, but I normally run with the Comp on 1x5 or off, so that helps. When I do crank it up to 5x5, I just say a little prayer beforehand that my clutch holds and I don't break anything. hehehehe

Eric, maybe it will be that new crate motor sitting in my shop.
Thats if I keep throwing mods at mine and it doesn't survive.

Welcome, Terry

 

[ofcourse]

Thanks Eric

After browsing around the site a bit, it looks like it will be pretty tough for a few un-named individual to get in trouble.

Think I'm going to like it over here again.
OH YEAH!!

If everyone can be reasonable, use a bit of discretion, and keep it in good taste, perhaps we can have a little fun to go along with our truck talk

Eric,

are you running for office? That sounded like a very reserved position!

Oh well, if that doesn't work.......



hehe
