Trailering my rig to an ohv park tomorrow for the first time, can I use my winch to secure the front ? Or does the suspension need to travel while trailering? I don't have wheel straps and definitely can't find any to fit 35s in a day.
What do y'all suggest?

Either strap from the axles or body, if you go from the body you need to really cinch it down so your straps don't come loose when you hit a bump.

I'm running Mobil 1 10w30 and have low oil pressure. I want to make the switch to Rotella T6 but I'm not sure if I should run 5w40 or 15w40.

I believe T6 only comes in 5w40. Triple T is 15w40. That Mobil 1 should be fine. You got a mechanical oil pressure gauge hooked up? What kind of oil filter? And what are you calling low oil pressure?

ccooper1234

Napa gold filter, 50 at startup, 30 while driving for awhile, 10 at idle

EZEARL

I see your engine's been rebuilt. Pressure been low since the rebuild?

ccooper1234

No just different oils, different pressures

EZEARL

All I can tell you is that I when switched from NAPA 10w30 conventional oil to T6 5w40 I picked up some pressure at idle and a bit more at cruising speeds. Haven't verified the exact numbers with a mechanical gauge but saw the difference with the MOPAR sending unit.

Can we run rotella 15-40 in winter? or wil i need to swap it out?

I run it in mine and we get to 0* in winter and 100* in summer.

Not likely down here, bud. Unless you're heading back up north.

Far too thick. Literature from the engineers states quite clearly only 5w should be used below 0°F, and it's just silly to run anything thicker under 30°F.

The lower the first number the better.

Man lol, even up here we don't see that. He gotta go up towards salad and cruiser
