Dear Mister Aaron,

There are too many red trucks nowadays.
Please eliminate three.

P.S. I am not a crackpot.



There is also a stupid yellow Camaro to balance things out.



This truck has the illustrious "NorthWest Limited Edition" package, which near as I can tell consists entirely of that sticker.



You kids can make all the fun you want about how picky I am when buying used junk trucks, but I got pretty nearly the exact options I wanted for a great price. This truck is truly a beer window and Rhinoliner away from being exactly what I wanted.
I'm thinking I might have to do something about those poorly-installed lady steps though.



Well now that's just factually inaccurate on both counts.

Looks like a good truck. You could paint one yellow to balance things out.

There's an easy fix for that bumper sticker. Just cut it across the center and peel off the bottom part.

1: You don't know what it looked like before.

2: It's meant to clean the hard carbon off the back of the valves and tops of the pistons.

3: I've seen it actually do that job.

Left it overnight? I feel like there is a window of time that seafoam functions best at. Is 10 hours in that window?

Come on Aaron, you need to finish that banana so you can beat me!

Whats the story on the "head bucket"?

You weren't down this way tonight were you? We about had a head on with a drunk driver. Ran the person behind us off the road, almost hit another person and then hit and run the cop we called. Story is he was driving either a red toyota or ford.. no shizzle.

Too many red trucks and not enough running Camaros!

I need those wheels off of the new pickup for my 58 project. You keeping them or ditching them?

And probably a good thing your an anti gunner, you'd be anti technology and trying to conceal carry a musket and telling us about the benefits of smooth bore vs rifling.

If the seafoam soaks in too much, and there is nothing but air to wash it away, you get the same.

Good gas always seemed to take care of the valves for me. As for leaking the intake? Forget it, just clean the throttle blade. Unless PVC and extended oil changes are an issue then you have to pull the damn intake.

Had a Ranger with 40,000 original miles come in with a "knock." No oil came out of the pan. The intake and crankcase was like oil/hardfoam. It was bizarre. He said "I thought the truck came with oil," as he admitted to never changing it....

[chevymad]

I once had a ranger exactly the same way. I think it had 46k miles on it. Pull the dipstick and it read full. Took it apart and the oil was turned to pudding.

[Twilightoptics]

At least yours was still viscous. This thing was like forming foam. I had to cut it away to get to the mains.

[chevymad]

I replaced a jeep 4.0 one time that was the same but worse. That one I actually took the pan loose.. pried it down an inch and the oil/pudding held the pan up!

[aaron_sK]

Come on now, think of all the money they saved on oil changes.

[Twilightoptics]

At 209k, I'd be taking the injectors down to Dr. Injector and have them flowed/cleaned.

At 90k on my Jeep with good gas, I noticed a different at less than 6% restricted from rated flow.

[aaron_sK]

That was going to be my next step. There was full-on mud coming out of the fuel filter when I dropped it so there has been some bad s**t going through the injectors.
