seams like nobody is encountering this problem. My drivers seat is grinding without movement. Anybody???

Appreciate the concern. I don't get it over 70. I am hoping they will still be there when I sell it. No dry rot whatsoever. It stays in heater and air conditioned garage, I think that helps. Going to play the originality card when I am asking top dollar 20 years form now. These trucks are scary...

I agree the valve train is noisy on all of these...injectors and valves and everything on these motors are pretty loud. 15w 50 made it a lot quieter.

Thanks to all for the advice. Not a spec of anything on the drain plug magnet About time to torque the header bolts...will check. Will check tensioner Oil pressure has not changed since I purchased it. about 75% of whatever the gauge is Tried the 15W-50 mobile 1...no difference. Bought...

sorry just got in. I guess you will pass right thru Dayton. My number is 937-414-1801. I know you need to make this deal solid before you drag it all the way over here. I'm in. Just call me. I will take it. I guess I should double check...mine is regular cab. Don't know if quad cab is...

oh well. must be a rod bearing. I was really hoping to find out they have solid lifters. dang it. 30K miles and I don't drive it that hard. is this typical? or could could it be piston slap?

still got 'em?

Hello all, does the gen 3 require a valve adjustment at any specific interval? thx

Anyone seen the butterfly screws coming loose? Reached in there to try and wipe off some blowby and noticed the one butterfly was moving around. The other one was about to come loose. However, went to take the screws out to locktight 'em and noticed they got a little tight again, so I...
