I addition, I won't have a pan full of fluid sloshing around to get all over the place. I am putting on the Dorman pan with the drain plug. It looks like it is around the same height. I have one of these guys to make life a lot easier. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CDXJCCT?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1 -
Indeed a proper drain tap or drain valve with adapter that has a hose on it that opens up the valve as the adapter goes on is a slick setup and have that for certain highway tractors etc and other equipment that came from the factory with a tap but this L8T is pretty darned good other than me doing it on the floor and easy to touch hot exhaust and am not as agile as I used to be !. If I really want to pull a hot filter on an engine I will use an insulated set of thick neoprene gauntlet gloves but I am not in the hurry I used to need to be so things are done more relaxed and in theory somewhat safer ... I think LOL. And as I mentioned the unique shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers, while they might not work as well as an offset pour spout container for some awkward engine location applications, they are working a lot better with my Lisle funnel kit because of how they prop up on all four corners when upside down resting on the rim of the funnel where the typical quart container would never stay put without holding onto it. -
Well, I just hit 100K a few weeks back, and I can honestly say I have not had any major issues with my '21 5.3 Crew cab. I have done most routine maintenance, oil changes, air filter, tire rotations, and a transmission drain and filter change (not even a full flush). A couple of months ago, I started experiencing the dreaded CLUNK when coming to a stop, sometimes hard enough to literally push the truck forward! After researching here and in other forums/youtube videos, etc, I was thinking it's the slip yoke. I finally had a chance to take it to my local mechanic today, and he was not able to recreate the issue. Amazing, since it does it nearly every time I drive. He also said he can't simply grease my slip yoke/driveshaft splines, because I have a 1 piece driveshaft. I am not sure what else I can do. Has anyone else had this issue or have any idea what else it could be? -

This is where the Fumoto drain valve comes in handy. No mess and able to change oil hot, like right off the interstate hot. Flows nice and you can direct it into a container. As for the oil filter, I use an old dixie cup or plastic one from McDonalds. It contains the oil as you pull the filter down and not all over your hand. -

Well, if it did change from lifters to rocker arms, at least it would be easier to fix as they fail.
