morning its gonna be a long day at work...

 

Gotta go to work also......

 

Jeez.....

60° this morning......little chilly.....

Gas is down to $3.35/gallon........

 

wow 60* us down in the south wouldnt know what to do with that.

 

This heat is really taking it's toll. Wild fires, ponds and lakes drying up, 25% of the trees dying, grass dying, wild animals, livestock, crops gone, not to mention all the depression it causes. Hard on anything living. And, no end in sight.

 

Looks as if I got something I always wanted. An oil burner. Burned a quart in about 1500 miles. Guess I better look for a source of MC 5-20. I have never owned an oil burner and hate to start now.

 

Morning. Got to get my stuff ready for the company picnic tomorrow and going to play golf this afternoon.

 

Thats not good Jim. Hopefully the engine just needs a little more time to get everything seated.

 

 

I would say it's just the brake in period Jim, get a few more miles on it and see what happened. Every truck that my dad and I owned that had a 305 or 350 in it would burn a quart in 3000 miles it was just the nature of the beast. The last Suburban my dad sold had 260k on it and my 91 Sierra the odometer stopped at 160k and I am sure that when I sold it it was closer to 175k and both are still running today so I would not really all that concerned about it.

 

Not overly concerned, just hate the hassle of keeping an eye on it, always having to have oil handy and putting it in so often. Used to having the oil changed and not thinking about it again for 4500 miles.

 

Omg every new one you do is just better and better. Would you mind taking the chic out () to make the air force thing bigger?

 

 

We never worried about it and changed the oil every 3000 which was about every two to three months because we put so many miles on the trucks. I would see where 4500 miles get you on oil consumption and if it's not much over a quart I would never worry about it until oil change time.

 

You must like blondes.....

I'll see if I have time later on today.....
