Changed oil. That JRC offroad engine cover is a pain in the ass. Spilled too much oil all over my valve cover.


Now I'm drinking in annoyance.




Pennzoil Platinum if any oil fetishists are concerned.
Yeah, but what does the oil analysis say? Why don't you have that back yet? How much chromium and fuel was in the oil?

Did your transmission torpedo yet?

Very ambitious - good luck Andy! You’ll have forearms like Popeye from pressing on that roller. ?
I’ll get me a can of spinach before I start to help.
Hopefully this will help quite a bit. After removing the rear seat the noise became to much for my pup with the exhaust also.

The oil was sparkly, so something will torpedo eventually...

Removed the full interior to do sound deadening tomorrow in the whole cab
Cool, this is on my - Things I want to do list, mainly the head liner, driving in the rain sounds like being in a tin roof barn.

But, while you are there, I was curious about mice entry points, since some have reported evidence at the center console and stowage areas under the rear seat.

Known - Positive / Proven entry point is the Air Inlet behind glove box, my theory is that is the only entry point, and they travel down the transmission hump (Valley - Under the Carpet) and stop at the open areas (Resorts) this being under the center console and go exploring further back and find the wide-open spaces in the cubbies under the rear seat.

Other Theories from members are - The Rear exhaust air grilles and the open holes in the cubby boxes. I am wanting to know if you see any other entry point from the exterior for mice other than the (Known / Proven One.
