Pre-Trip Maintenance

[Sampuppy1]

I run full synthetic in everything from my truck down to my lawn mower and generator. Have convinced my parents to switch and many others. I love it.

Well, my lady just got a promotion at work, so that's going to be a bit of weight off my paychecks. So, with any luck, working on the truck wont be such a big money deal.

ROFL, Chea buddy, :hifive:

Glad shes got some coin rollin in too, and yeah, she needs to understand that vehicles require time & effort(and $) to make the most out of them.

Back to the matter at hand. Now, since the consensus seems to be that synthetic is just fine to run, would it be wise to just out right convert everything to synthetic? As in use synthetic for the rear diff and the suspension (since I already have conventional motor oil)? Also, will just any old grease gun work? Or is it a matter of you get what you pay for?

In the 4 years we've been together, she's only been unemployed for about a month. I however was unemployed for 2 years because I got the **** end of the stick...

I think the grease gun in one of those things where they just work no matter if you pay $50 or $5....that's my opinion

Do you have any that you would suggest? Otherwise I'm just picking one up from WalMart.

I use my dad's and it's old and covered in grease with no stickers or anything. Sorry.

A full synthetic conversion will probably get you some better mileage, too.
