he is one of those kinda guys,RW. he apologized the whole time we were loading,i told him that i had NEVER OVERSLEPT IN MY WHOLE LIFE,and not to weary cause it would probably be me the next time
.i have used rotella15w40 in my o'l b model since i got her so i would be scared to change now,but i ain't too proud to change if i get another truck,i kinda like what stranger said about valvoline premium blue,though,2mpg would sure be nice!

wheathauler,.. i saw where you posted that you have a c12,how do you like that motor? how's the power,torqe,mpg,and reliability? i know they are a lot lighter and that extra weight would be nice.have you had yours long?
-
They are light and power & torque is pretty good. The motor that was in it dropped a valve this april...shelled the engine. Put in used one and so far it's done all right. 6.5-7 mpg. I think it was a 2003 engine that was put in...had 400,000 on it. I have only put 13,000 on the engine but haven't seen many oil leaks.
dairyman Thanks this. -
That was in a Dodge 2500 pickup with a V-10 engine. I don't know what it would do in a big engine, but would like to find out.dairyman Thanks this. -
Yep, as I stated previously valvoline could be a good oil. I don't know though I've used shell for a number of years.

,i was just looking back over your thread today,and i am kinda ''hogging'' all your space,so if it is annoying ya'll just say so,i don't want to be a ''pain'',but i have sure enjoyed this thread,thanks for startin' it.

Talk all you want it doesn't bother me. It's what's this thread is for information, venting, talking about your day, whatever.
This actually is the third C-12 it's had in it. Originally had c-12 and now two used engines. The truck has over million miles on it so not too bad. Dropping a valve could happen to any engine so won't hold that against it. It had around 720,000 when the valve dropped...mechanic I use, said get over 700,000 start thinking about rebuild. I thought later I should have put C-13 in but would have been more expensive. -
How's it going Big John?
