Thanks! I was curious about the oil and the vacuum!

Swapped the seat cushions in my 1998 ram. Driver side was getting flattened and passenger side looked and felt like new. A little more involved on my 98 than the threads i've read on here. I have the 40/20/40 seats, not electric and no lumbar adjustment. I had to trim the foam a bit on one side but it worked.

New A/C compressor in... it was making way more noise than I was aware... the engine is so quiet now.
I guess it was such a slow increase over time that I didn't notice it until closing on critical, when it went from a subtle whirr to a full blown bearing whine.

Back flushed the heater and now I am just making sure I got all the air out. Nice and hot heat once again.

Haen't gotten to post in here in a while, but I am spinning wrenches on a magnum v8 once again! Not mine, and not a 2nd gen. My roomate (Comrade General on this forum) has a '92 W150 short bed on 1 tons. I am replacing the 318 for him. I got everything off the engine today, it's ready to be unbolted from the tranny and motor mounts, and pulled out. I love these engines.

Any fancy engine upgrades?

rescued a Kenworth semi truck that broke down in the middle of the road Saturday night.

Pulled it up the hill it was stuck on, unhooked and let it coast a ways, then used a generator and compressor to air up his tanks for the brakes and pulled him up the next hill, unhooked again and he was able to coast it to where it sits in the picture.

Then the next day when the picture was taken, we hooked it back up, and I pulled him the rest of the way home.

A Toyota pickup pulled up next to us when we were hookin it up and airing up the tanks saying there's no way that truck can pull that up this hill..

he was surprised as hell when he saw that semi start moving
