He just has a leak in the oil pan… not looking for a full overhaul

I guess I was just pointing out that something small sometimes leads to more.

RITE!!!! thay want over 4gs to pull the motor and you know if thay pull it it will snowball with other issues.one guys told me 7,000 to overhaul the hole motor and he will get another 300k.the body will fall off the frame before the trucks sees another 300k..lol

you sure its t the dipstick, that is a huge known issue on these

its a east coast truck with miles.its a known issue out here with the salt from the roads and now past few years thay have really transitioned to this liquid called brine.its a salt solution with sodium chloride and water it has a much lower freezing point then rock salt.the county and towns drive around and spray it on all the roads hours before a storm like a water truck to control dust.shits nasty cuz as thay lay it down its wet and sprays up on the vehicle and it coats it in a film then when it drys its like a dry powder all over the car and under neath. reason thay are using it is its less damaging to the asphalt but its more damaging to metal and paint..chit sucks!
