I'm really bored so here's some pictures of me getting into some pretty serious off-roading action. And changing the oil. Heard Royal Purple should add at least 15RWHP, maybe 25 with the sticker. I'm waiting for the rest of the oil to finish draining. Laughing

And I did a shoop real quick but I don't really like how it turned out.

And it's 70 and sunny with clear skies, just thought I'd let you know. Twisted Evil

I have RP in the crankcase and Mobil 1 in the Trans all full synth.

The diffs are next

I used to use Mobil 1 Full Syn until I saw all those lawsuits and stuff and was like "why not pay a little extra and go with the best" lol.

I use Mobil 1 oil filters still though. But god fucking damn that one was a BITCH to get off. The ones before that weren't that hard to get off at all and I know for sure I didn't forget to put some oil on the O-ring.

I'm probably going to give my truck a good wash after work, I have to leave in ten minutes and I still have two more quarts to put in lmao.

I'm at about 18,000 miles right now but when I replace fluids everything is going to be RP. Very Happy

I'm also thinking about doing E-fans, how much did it cost you to do it and did you build it on your own or buy a kit?

And I'll probably have to re-oil my S&B in a bit but it doesn't look bad at all since it's shielded. Here in AZ with all this damn dust I would hate to have an open filter.

Pat custom made a kit for me, we installed it together. Around $250-300 I think. I payed him extra to help install it

I agree on the filter location. Good news is with my fan shrouds gone I pop the hood and can reach right down and get it Laughing

Before that it was a bitch though.

I ran the motocraft blend for 36K, its pretty decent oil

i made my E-fans for 70 bucks Smile

went to the junk yard got a big lincon mark 8 e-fan for 30 bucks. bought my buddy and his dad some mtn dew and hot n readys also got wires connectors and a switch. i have the temp switch thingy but i hear about them burning up all the time so i just have mine on a direct switch Smile

I saw a horsepower they had a chevy 350 on the motor dyno they had normal oil in there then they put RP in and gained about 8HP and 12 Ftlbs....witch when you go threw the trans and the 8 foot drive shaft that comes to like 1/2 a hp and 5 ftlbs Razz

Hope it does help ya out thoe i just stick with motorcraft semi sythn and a motorcraft filter....i find the more things you put on a triton motor that say motorcraft the happyer the triton motor is Rolling Eyes

Mine had like 67 fucking miles on it before test driving it because it was one of the only new FX2's on the lot. EVERYONE wanted to drive it I guess.
