I changed the oil and filter, again. LOL And rotated the tires.

I change it every 5000 miles and it usually still has 50% of the oil's life left.
My camper has been on the truck for the last 5000 miles so I'm guessing it shortened the oils life a bit.

I put new shocks on the truck too, 2nd time for shocks.
The first time I changed them was at 171,000 miles and I used Monroe Reflex shacks and they really didn't make much of an improvement over the original shocks.
This time I bought AC Delco shocks and spring assisted shocks for the rear.
I am amazed that at 235,000 miles the truck still isn't ready for new brakes.
When they are due they'll get replaced with factory SC Delco brakes.
Looking forward to my trip to Kanab tomorrow to see if the new shocks helped. :)
