So im now a member of the 200k mile club! Just hit it yesterday!And i must say, im quite happy, my truck didnt burn any of the 5w30 i used and its been 2,000 miles since i put it in.. would have burnt some of the 10w40 by now... surprised it didnt burn the thinner oil!
ok, so my friend has been arguing with me for a wile..what i want to know, this era of trucks.. was the 460 ever offered in a f250.. i was pretty sure it was only offered on a f350 and up.. and only trucks with solid front axels...
