The load the next day was easily 3 to 4k heavier so probably 24,000 lbs. Yikes!! It still pulled it to 70 mph and did it straight and true.

Something like this:

A small skid steer. It's an ASV RC30. Very fun little loader.

I am pretty sure for the first year model 2000 R/T, the sticker says 12/17. The 5.2 2000 model shows 13/18 but I assume the 318 problaby had a lower rear end ratio.

Kensai I think your over on the expected mileage. 15 maybe pushing AWD.

I still think your plugs......... and before you write an essay on this it's just my opinion.

Although one way to squeze a lil more out is to take your foot off the throttle......LOL
I believe in my IR plugs. It's still a Champion plug! Just not copper nor plats! My 5.9 still idle so smooth, you can probably balance an egg on it and it won't tip over! My 5.9 responds so much better with IR vs copper champion plugs.

Right now, I am driving it as if I had an egg behind the pedal to see what my mpg would be with the new map sensor. So far, only a small improvement for me. I guess that tells me my 5.9 is already in perfect running condition?

Now to change the front O2 sensor and I am done with sensors for a while. Is it a PITA to change the O2 sensors? Anyone done it before? what it requires to get access to it? etc? pics? Wanna save me some labor costs if I can do it myself!

Get a O2 socket:






These types of removers allow the wire to come out of the socket without cutting. Soak em whith a good penetrator one day before and let it sit. Use the remover tool or, if you really want cut the wire off and use a regular socket then install the new one snug. Reconnect the harness and clean it out good and put electrical grease inside the harness.

Okay, I know which tools to get. Now the question is accessibility? Is it a PITA to get to? Can it be accessed from the top or only from the bottom?
