Things I'd like to share about my first oil change. 1) Truck has 3850 miles 2) Yes, the oil was black, but I've seen worse.3) I was going to always check it once and see if I was getting the diesel in the crankcase and I always forgot. I checked it after it had been running for a little bit while I pulled it in the shop and it was right in the middle of safe, so must not have been to much fuel in thier if any. 4) The cracking of the valve on the fuel filter, and turning the key on works great. But I found out that 10 to 15 seconds with the key on is enough to fill a 20 oz. pop bottle, and make a huge mess under your truck. 5) Make sure you work out at the gym for a while before you service your truck. You will need every muscle in your body to get the oil filter off. 6) And finally. While I was messing with stuff, I reached in the intake tube and pulled out the baffle. Seemed so easy, that I thought I would try it. I didn't realize when I was reading other post that you can just put it right back in if you need to. I don't know for sure what, if anything this poor man's mod does, but I'm now without the baffle.
This post is sort of meant to be funny. It all did kind of suck, but it was the first time, and I'm sure it will go better next time.
