2019-05-19 239.7 21.564 $2.579 11.12 "221316 Purchased 3-19-19, filled it a few days later. Tank was mostly around town, went to kc once at end of tank and filled there. During this tank, pulled bug shield. Found both right side tires at 19psi, seem to be holding since, set all to 32. Thought the valve covers were leaking bad down on the manifolds due to the smell, when I started to replace the gaskets, found the pcv valve left pulled out of valve cover, still changed gaskets as they were leaking. Replaced air filter, cleaned throttle body. Debaged back and sides, blacked out grille badge. Removed 3rd row seats. Fully removed roof rack. Changed oil, 0-30 mobil1. Corrected trans fluid level, was a little over qt low. Qt Lawrence"

2019-10-25 288.1 19.558 $2.989 14.73 "Odd tank for sure. Changed out temp sensor, looks like I’m operating at 207 now, seemed high so I tried another later in the tank but same result. Still early in the tank had the pcm tuned by Blackbear with traditional tune for otherwise stock vehicle and 91. Of course I planned poorly, so added some octane booster since last fill was 87. With the pcm tuned it’s now capable to control electric fans, so the fan clutch was removed, and 06 Silverado fan assembly installed. Which is also where I wanted to be before adding a grill block. Added a block on the back of the grill with holes in front of aux coolers, there is also a gap between the bumper and grill. Rear main has been leaking, and I’m sure the 0w30 hasn’t been helping. Near the end of the tank I used some Lucas stop leak, which is about as thick as gear lube. Planning to switch to 5w30high mileage for next oil change. Outside temps have come down a lot since start of tank, but that also means using ac less.
Driving was mostly around town, extra warm ups testing and checking stuff, but also some easy highway driving checking things out
