I tried 3555 and you are 100% right is does not want to show that address. I was lucky I did not know the actual address or I would not have come up with anything either.

Left on Vanrick DR. Left on MidLink DR. It looks like an industrial park just off the Interstate I-94 Good-Luck
he is correct those are the directions to the midlink business park. the business park is the first and pretty much only thing on that side of the road so you cant really miss it. its an old gm plant that was remodled/rebuilt a while back. sorry i didn't post earlier i have been busy all day

[quote=MedicineMan;921117]I am wondering if mabey i'm getting fuel in it though. Guess I will need to run an oil sample and see, need to get some miles on it first.
then again it could very likely just be my overactive mind worrying about things. that is very possible.

An easy way to check for fuel in the oil is wipe the dipstick off with your thumb and finger and rub them together. If there is fuel in the oil you will feel the friction after rubbing for 5 seconds or so. If you're not sure, try it with some clean oil first and then your oil from the dipstick. Not very scientific but it works. If there was coolant, there would be some evidence either on the inside of the oil filler cap or in the blow by tube.

ya I had that whole water in the oil deal when I replaced the broken head bolt. There was the water foam in the valve covers when I drained it and put fresh in. It's all worked it's way out now. I'm not planning on running this oil very long. mabey 10k miles and i'll change it again. wow, that will make three oil changes in 15k miles, how that for maintenane!!!! lol, and expensive... not lol...

I'v got oil seeping out the head gasket. seems like every time I lug the motor down too far it starts seeping. the truck did not like running 55 in OH. one gears too low the others to high. so I ran it low and this is what I got.

I just drped in shreveport. I missed a $3mi load yesterday, now i'm here looking at the board and there isn't much around within about 130miles. If I'm going to deadhead that far I'll just deadhead home. But it's early, agents don't usually start posting untill after 9am

I guess I'm going to go get some breakfast

well it's 100 degrees out in shreveport LA and I don't have any AC. I blew it up. Quite litteraly too. I was adding coolant and the pressure switch exploded and launched itself about 150 feet in the air.

Why don't one of you guys who does ac work come do a house call for me
