Ayuh,.... My diesel pickup starts all winter long with 'bout the same oil in it...

'course it don't like to start below 0?F without bein' plugged in, but that's a fuel issue, not the oil...

Thanks guys, it started right up. The exhaust sounds awesome.

Can hardly wait to put it in the water. Looks like it still going to be a while. Going to get 2 or 3 inches of snow over the next 2 days.

What can you do except fire it up every week end and anoy the neighbors....

And proud of it!

I'm sure glad I bought the switch-able exhaust. That is really loud, and I could see that becoming tiresome.

Is there a way to up-load video with out using You-tube. I'm not sure I like how much personal info Google wants to open an account....
