Put some gas in it. It was between half and 1/4 tank and took 65L for 290KM, so that made my gas mileage out to be around 10.5MPG in town. Quite the improvement over the 7.3MPG I was getting before seafoam! Also, wasn't driving it very easily with the snow and slush combinations we've been getting the past few weeks

I'm sure there's been discussions on Seafoam here at DF, but I'm a fan. Keep it in the diesel tool box. I just shared some in the 97 gasser. K.

I don't usually like additives. Most of them are snake oil but I'm a fan of sea foam. I truly believe it makes my truck run better

Dug out 5 rust spots above the right rear wheel well - 3 of which have been bondo'd, sanded, and painted. The other 2 I'll weld repair tomorrow morning.

Took the drivers door apart, removed the wiring, and removed the door from the truck. Cut out and removed several rusted/rotted areas from the bottom exterior, and the bottom of the door itself. Fab'd new sheet metal across the entire bottom, and some of the bottom exterior, welded into place, dressed the welds, skim coat of bondo, final sanding, and 2 coats of paint.
