Well it looks like I will be buying the tires this weekend. Wife handed me a $70 off coupon today for Costco. Problem is the wheels will not be in my posession until Sunday the 16th, the day the coupon expires. Going to stop there (Costco) tomorrow and either buy the tires or pay for them in advance. Coupon also gives $30 off on installation, which means it would cost me $26 to get them mounted and balanced with a lifetime warranty on the balance, or if that won't work, I'll just put them on myself at my buddies shop and use his balancer if Costco doesn't want to work with me. I think the tires are the same size as a 2010 Prius. Basically that means I'll have the wheels, tires, and pizza pans a lot quicker than originally planned.

The truck has not burned any oil in 1000 miles since I changed it to 5-20. The oil is still about as clean as it looked when it came out of the jug.

Still got a little spark knock, think I'll just run the windshield washer hose to a vacuum fitting on the intake and run some alcohol-water mix through it using the washer pump at higher speeds to blast the carbon out.
