The retorque is a good idea, and I actually did go back around the bolts after I took it for a drive.

As for conventional vs. synthetic, it doesn't matter to the axle. Once upon a time there was no high-tech $20 a bottle lubricant to pour into truck axles. It's just gears, bearings and shafts. Nothing mysterious.

If it saps a bit more power, so be it. The truck is getting what it always gets, 18-21 depending on the amount of city driving.

 

wha. you get less mileage then I do!

:-(

I get roughly 18 in town and 22-23 on the highway. and average 19 in mixed driving...

 

as for 20 bucks per bottle???

the amsoil ran me 9 per bottle. I bought 6 quarts for less than 60 dollars

 

Your prize is in the mail.

 

i get maybe roughly 13-14 miles to the gallon granted my wheels and tires weigh 100 pounds each

 

wow dude I was just making a statement.

no need to go douchebag on me.

 

One stop light in town doesnt count man... you running a tuner still? Because the best I pulled was 22.5 flat ground running 65 with the tuner.

Where the F did you find it for $9 a bottle? I wanna see a receipt. even buying it whole sale I couldnt get it that low!

 

really?

 

Every truck is different. 13, 18, 25, 40 MPG, who cares. Save a few bucks and use oil that is perfectly good, or buy some high tech advertising and put the empties on your mantlepiece. It all works the same, it's just about how special you want to feel.

And thanks for namecalling. You are the king of one-upsmanship around here, rather than just offering advice. Did you want the windbreaker or the collectable mug?

 

I got it at napa two years ago. amsoil was running a huge promo at the napa at my college town
