lol Having to actually add oil to the 76. Been months since I've checked it on flat ground. Those gaskets need replacing.

^^^ So get a overhaul gasket set, get your tool box out and get to work and get dirty. You need to start doing your own work there guy, shops cost and this stuff don't fix itself.

I've got the valve cover gaskets.
Need to do those first, truck stinks too badly all the time. lol
Pan gasket will get done sooner or later. It will likely need two oil changes as the oil is diesel black. But the Ram gets priority ATM.

lol. It's not thick. Truck seems to run a tad smoother with the oil and PS fluid topped off.

I ran the gas numbers, if I did this right, I'm getting 10.65 mpg in town.


WAT

Alright, I'm pretty sure I don't want a Polaris now, I want a Kubota.

About 3-4 depending on the tires and wheels.
