I just started doing this, but ef'd up in how I took a sample according to their directions (got a sample right during the start of draining the oil, rather than mid-way through). My only issue with extending the interval is that I don't drive the thing more than about 2.5-3k a year. My OCD has me changing the oil at least every 6 months.

Jordan, for noobs like me, is the turbo diesel truck oil close to Mobil 1 (that's what I use), or a whole different animal?

Well it’s a diesel spec oil and not gas, so it follows the CK rating rather than SM, SN, etc. Functionally a diesel oil will have less focus on friction reduction (for efficiency) and more on anti-wear and high detergency to control for diesel combustion byproducts. The only downside if that if your engine burns oil it can poison your catalytic converter.

Saw that you're back in Atlanta. Is it permanent or do you travel between GA & CA? I moved to Marietta last year but was in Midtown before that.

Welcome back! I sent you a PM with my number if you ever needed a place to wrench or wanted to nerd out about 4runner stuff. Next beer's on me.

Yeah man, we could be like Tony Montana sitting in a big bubble bath in our mansion cursing at the TV and demeaning our wives. That would be awesome.

I also did the "AC on with defrost delete" mod. Unplugging this little guy makes it so that the AC doesn't automatically come on when the defrost mode is selected. On cold mornings it can be nice to have the hot air go through the defrost ports so it is more indirect -- but to not have the AC cycling at the same time.

[QUOTE=JZiggy;3408151]Decided to swap out the window trim on the four doors with fresh OEM stuff. It just snaps out and back in but it does take some force. The rear passenger door fits a bit wonky but I think it was repaired many years back.
 [/QUOT
Jordan, nice touch to freshen up the window molding. Do you have part #'s you could share?
Also, like your post about AC compressor delete when defrost is on. Where exactly is that wire connection located.
Thanks
Durwin

Oh, are you doing the rear window trim as well?
