    Interested in opinions on best bang for buck on 80w90 or similar weight synthetic

    I think you may have more options if you look at 75W90 synthetic . I am reading to see if I will go this way nor not. The dude who I talked to doing gear swaps suggested Schaeffer 293 Supreme Gear Lube 80W90. I can't find this locally. 80w90 is good down to -15° F But reading below I...

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    Well I am not doing this for MPG... I want less RPM st highway speeds... There is way more to the equation than gearing with it comes too fuel economy. Rolling resistance, aerodynamics, weight, ect... A brick of a heavy truck with huge tires... well

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    I do not believe this will hurt the off road capability of the truck. I am looking on having the truck more "driveable" It runs really well at 40 MPH... if I can get 15 MPH more with gears and same RPM I think this would be nice. I have about 10,000 into the truck (govplanet, getting here...

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    Do you think its worth the 5 grand to install the gears? I am trying to decide if I want to spend the money... What are the pros and cons. Would you spend the money again?

    My tip for spare relays

    Those from Amazon will work but they do not have a diode across the coil like what came factory. Without it there will be a voltage spike in the system when the power is removed from the coil. Another reason I wanted the Bosch .

    My tip for spare relays

    If you mean Picker relays... the ones I have seen have been made in China and they only come in one color. They will work but I gave the reasons I picked Bosch. Not made in China and 2 colors.

    Starter not Engaging

    He said the starter was bench tested and that was ok... Simple test and I have seen issues with K1 myself and strange started issues. Easy to rule out.

    1995 M1078 Cranks But Won't Start

    Just because the gauge is showing something doesn't mean there is power on the truck. There are no lights on the dash and the oil pressure isn't at zero. I am thinking there is no power... When I power up my truck the oil will go to zero. I think there would be no harm if you link to the...
