It is miserable cold and we getting pounded with snow. Livin it up. I shoveled a good 5 inches and I got to do it again. Because I got to go get mommy from work.
I sea foamed the durango today. Then changed the oil In the 15 degree weather because I knew this was coming,
Long story short. I got the truck from my brother. He used jiffy lube. Had a signature on the oil filter a mileage and a date when I did the first oil change. Well it had the same filter for 5 years and 50 thousand miles. fast forward 4 years. I been keeping the oil changed religiously with synthetic.
Well the sludge and coked oil all was coming off last summer when I changed the valve cover gasket. I cut this filter apart and it was completely clogged. I still had 2000 miles left till it was due a oil change.
Anyway I sea foamed it for 30 minutes drained and put clean oil. That was the blackest nastiest smelling oil I ever saw. So far so good it had pressure all day when I tried it. 100 more miles and another change.
I don't see how she survived so far she been a trooper. But if it her time so be it. untill then drive the wheels off and keep her clean as I can.
I ain't afraid to put a merc in her to. I like em alot.
