Did an oil change on this thing last weekend, it was the most awful oil change of my life by far. The oil filter hadn't been off in a while, Now I know why the truck came with one.. I had oil filter vise grips firmly clamped around the base and that thing would not budge. Ended up pulling the oil filter housing and being mean to it in the vice. After trying to get it off for two hours, stabbing it, etc.
I added a can of Restore with the fresh oil to try to help with the oil consumption and low oil pressure. So far so good, oil pressure is up on the gauge about 35psi warmed up under load vs the 20-25 I was seeing. Need to put more miles on it before I can get a good idea of what oil consumption is like.
Rear captains are mocked up just need to weld up the brackets and paint.
Got the camper unloaded off the trailer today, that was fun. Put a couple chunks of 1" pipe under it and ratchet strapped it right off the back. Then worked the camper jacks under it and set it on some janky stands that came with the camper.
I just discovered that the rear passenger mounting location is rotted out. So I'm going to have to do a little surgery and splice in a new piece of wood. Also need to build a spacer so that the cab over will clear, A 4x6 on end will give me 2" between the cab and camper.
