    Pulling my boat soon, O.D. or not?

    Glacier 991, Thanks for the input. This first crossed my mind a few days ago, on the freeway I had 6 people in the car, no trailer, and it seemed like it was shifting down from OD with very little extra pressure on the gas pedal. When I pull the boat it's gotta be worse.

    another oil related question

    Hey Al, Thanks for the tip. Seems rather expensive. If it really extends the life of my engine, it's worth it. Wonder why they're not standard equipment?

    another oil related question

    I got lot's of replies to my post on oil changes. Several recommendations for using a " PRE OILER ". I've never seen or even heard of this. Sounds like a good idea. Can ya'll fill me in on this? How they work,where to buy,cost?

    How often should I change oil?

    My owners manual says 7500 mi between oil changes I think. That seems way too long. If I change at 3000, am I just wasting oil? Also, are the new synthetics really better?

    My front doors are droopy!

    The hinge pins seem loose in the holes. I went to several local parts stores for hinge pin&bushing kits. The counter guys seem lost. I finally got one to order the kits in. I recieved the pin & roller that hold the door open, not what I wanted. Are these really that hard to find? Are they...

    Front end alignment ?

    OK, I must be missing something. I see two long "I beams" criscrossing the front end. The king pins attached at the ends on ball joints top and bottom. No adjusting points that I can see. Seems It would have to be bent, but I don't see it...
