Replaced the factory shocks with Monroe Gas Magnums this past weekend, had the fuel injectors cleaned and replaced the plugs with Autolites. The plugs were shot - barely any electrode left on 6 of the 8 plugs. Truck rides much better with the Gas Magnums and can't go wrong with Lifetime warranty

^^^ I have not been on the NTK 02 bandwagon for about a year now, this is to get rid of the NTK that I used when the last of the exhaust work was done this spring. Truck runs just fine or better with the Bosch 02's. All the NTK 02 I have removed all rattle, broken ceramics I would guess.

Weird, when I had my cat done, my O2 didn't rattle, and it was pretty old.

How do you like that oil and how much does it run? I've been using Rotella T6 synthetic right now but looking for a better one.

There is $75 CDN in oil there and $15 for the filter. As for the oil I am very impressed with it, I have ran a few top of the so called lines of synth oil most I would see a lower oil psi after the motor warmed up this one has very little change at any given temp. The motor is spotless inside, I am getting better mpg with it, no lifter rattle on startup.

Ok now the bad news for you guys, up here it's classed as a full syn but for some reason down there they change the oil mix and it's classed as a semi syn oil. I won't waste a dime on a semi syn oil not worth it at all.

LiquiMoly............Massive Drool Factor!!!!

Their MoS2 additive is fantastic, I just wish they sold the oil in stores (Amazon maybe though?)

Napa thats were I get it from up here, might have to ask them to bring it in for you. I am sure there are US dealers down there, thats where I learned of the difference. I can always get you this stuff and ship it to you.

Sorry Mods but a off topic Q

You seem to understand oils, just what makes this so good? Don't get me wrong I read all I could about it but some was just over my head.
