i tried supertech motor oil and my engine would make a lot more noise that got anoying. switched back to Valvoline pretty quick. i would guess the quality of there transmission fluid is not much better.

No issues with mounting the brackets. We took off two bolts, lined up the bracket with the holes and slid in the longer screw and put the two bolts back on without any issues. That's weird that you have to drill into the actual frame to mount the bracket.

Pennzoil in the engine. SuperTech in the trans from the last service. Not a problem.

My grandparents did that too. Moved down in 72.

If you're going to do it, the hardest part is finding a job, really. Unless you have a skill that is needed badly.

Many people here dream here about moving to Alberta. I was supposed to earlier in the year but unfortuneately it never panned out. Prob for the best tho, id rather move somewhere south after thinking about it. And thats the exact clamp i was talking about earlier!!!! worked perfect i see! Where did ya get that canister?

Also I had to yell at it again. Battery crapped out -.-

You still got cold weather in Alberta, right? That ain't good when you get old, that's one of the reasons old people move to Florida. Winter is like 65-70*. lol

It is? lol Wasn't sure. It's an 2in electrical clamp. Worked great, I'm glad the screws did their job as they are supposed to be for wood IIRC. The can, clamp, and screws came from Lowes. Can was $20 + tax. Sourced the fittings from NorthernTool and the hose came from O'reillys.

It's a 3/8in NPT "filter" with the filter stone removed and copper scrubber put in it's place. Haven't done any highway since I finally epoxied the bottom fitting, but it seems to be holding.


As for your battery, get an Interstate MT 87. That's what I've got, never have ran it down always cranks the first time.
