main bearings shouldn't only last 60,000 if treated right they should last closer to 200,000 then again it is a Chrysler product...... i personally wouldn't run too heavy of an oil in there..... lighter oils actually coat and move better than heavy oils do.......which is why a lot of a manufacturers are using 5-20 now...... i dont really know if i would reccomend running an HD 30 in a tired motor

I remember putting some 20-50 in my big block and leanin over the fender and tellin my buddie,"yeah ,this is some good thick oil" .He calmly looked back and asked ,"yeah ,but have you asked your bearings how they like it".............

I didn't think so either but the chrysler tech said it's the only way to keep it pumping oil to the top , and that that's the trick to get them resold "when all the smart people traded them off " from what he told me it should hold till I get back around to it , long as I don't push it (just use it to go fishing now till it's fixed) ,closer to winter . When you do a search about this type of thing it has happened to a lot of people and is a pretty big problem chrysler just never looked at or didn't tell any one about . " but all the guys at the dealership knew ALL about it "

The funny thing is we got rid of this truck ,then got it back because we knew how well it had been taken care of Great truck except for the motor,trans,rear end gearing , gas mileage and, back glass....and ...

"Wish toyota made a big one with out that big center console so it'd seat 6 COMFORTABLY plus the room in the bed "

wish toyota would at least make a comfortable seat for their truck... all the seats i've sat in always feel like an old volkswagon seat, a piece of plywood with some vinyl wrapped around it....... i've always preferred ford seats myself.... they seem to do the trick.... or do i just prefer fords
