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

lucas + zmax = new lease on life.
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.
