Re: First Drive this AM since Crate! Also foams too tall/firm!

First time I've ever did a crate so I was a bit nervous. Nerve racking monitoring fluids, RPMs, temps, etc. Had to do it in 3 10 minute bouts of 2000 to 2500. Started right up though! Now I'm gonna drive around neighborhood for another 15 to 20 min then oil change and ready for next 500 mi before next oil change. Added the zinc supplement at startup. Hope the $20 bottle of zinc did something... Now it starts right up and sounds good.

When I bought this truck a few years back I was just gonna drive it and have fun. Now several $$ later and tons of hours I'm getting closer to my initial goal. Funny how these trucks pull you in and turn into a major project if not careful! Too late for me!
