truck just hit 201,000 can it live
hey there my truck just turned 201,000 and it runs alright for the most part. It makes some weird noises and knocks below 2000 rpm.... I put some oil treatment in it and fresh plugs. What else can i do to make it live longer. I love my truck but i dont want it to die or blow up or sumthing please help. Thanx

just do the required maintenance dude, its blows up, it blows up. 201,000 are a lot for a gas engine. take care of it, dont beat it, it will last awhile longer.

Also, our dually has 350,000 on the 454. trick: If you think it has piston slap or anything, start going to a heavier oil. It'll sap a little power, but it won't slide past the piston rings and burg like synthetic. The dually motor's been rebuilt once, we dont even have either additive in it..just Penz 10w-50. |
mines got well over 200k comin up on 300k and its just fine. as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you. you should run a lil heavyer oil in it. or use oil treatment everytime you change the oil. that will help some.

Ya just be good to it and use something like seafoam every once in a while on it...
