$5.00 rebate per gallon on Rotella T5 or T6. Go to Rotella.com/promotions to get the form. Autozone has it for $13.99/gallon here in Iowa plus the rebate. 
Thanks for the heads up. I got it for just under $20 at Walmart and I thought I got a really good deal.
I installed a new OEM heater control valve and all eight (!) firewall heater hoses. PITA! But I'm glad I did it as PM.

That probably is a really good deal in LA. I can buy it all day long for $18.99 here.
The rebate is good through Oct 31st. I bought a couple extra gallons today and sent the rebates to my neighbor. FTW!

That is coming up on my PM list. I'll do it in October when I do my annual flush and fill of my radiator. My heater control valve is 23 years old. I'm gambling right now. Ugh. But getting my AC fixed while it is still warm comes first. Need that fixed before winter so my defrost works better. Finally...
Cruised Mana rd into the clouds. low vis, high-speed rallye style. Finally got to cool off about 5k feet.

New OEM shocks and pulled the front drive shaft to replace the U joints. Night and day difference in ride. Feels like a newish truck. Quieter ride. So happy right now. And the vibration I was getting was definitely from the U joint. Smooth and silk and no clunk when shifting from reverse to drive. Woohoo!

What happened to it? And you're really not moving up by going w/a Superwinch.
It quit! Prob the solenoid because of the water crossings I did prior to this.
I am going to see about repairing the smitty later, but my buddy has had really good luck with his superwinch, so I'm giving it a try. I'm also going to mount the solenoid box up in the engine compartment.
Btw I have seen plenty of Warns croak on the trails too.

Turns out the plug and plug trailer plug harness for the 80s really are plug and play. Pretty straight forward.

Unless your plugs are completely rusted out and broken since they are completely exposed with zero weather proofing at all.

Yeah, there is that 
Modernized my stereo with a Clarion CZ305 and new kicker speakers. Deleted PO's Pioneer and 6-CD Changer, which is available if anyone would like it.
