I bought a 1985 D100 pickup to have some fun with. But with the current economy it does nothing but sit. Anyway, I bought it last winter, and planned to change the oil over the summer. I also got a can of CRC(?) high mileage engine flush recommended by the hot girl at the auto parts store who also knew her stuff.

Anyway, the motor had a tick. Several people listened to it and said: top end, crappy old oil, lifter tick. I put the CRC in and followed the directions. Refilled with mostly Mobil1 5W30 and a little regular mobil 5W30. No more tick, and MAN does she sound quiet now.

Next will be to drain the tranny, do a fluid and filter change and upgrade to a Transgo TF2 kit. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(Loose)Translation so far

My signature says: ad astra per alia porci meaning: "To the stars on the wings of a pig"


non est ad astra mollis e terris via
There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.


nunc est bibendum
Now is the time for drinking.


Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit
No man is wise at all times.


acta non verba
Actions, not words.


Amoto quaeramus seria ludo
Joking aside, let us turn to serious matters.


da mihi sis cerevisiam dilutam
I'll have a light beer.

And now you're up to speed.
