good move.
Now we will just sit back and wait for the person who bought the truck to sign up here.

That was a lot of miles for an 01. I have a 95 with the same miles and same issue. Haven't done anything about it yet but mine does leak oil internally when it is cold out. When you're looking at labor prices, it's about the same price to get a new reconditioned motor than to rebuild the old one.
