And this is what we call pretty clean on the inside.

And the outside is REALLY clean due to no rain for a while, therefore no mud.  All the crud you see on it is cattle manure.

Officer "Son do you know how fast you were going?"

 

JP "No sir"

 

Officer "And why is that?"

 

JP "Well, just look at my gauge cluster, you can't see anything:)"

 

Seriously though JP, for a work truck it's not too bad.  Where I used to work you should've seen some of the guys work trucks, they were absolutely disgusting on the inside.  I'm talking garbage, mud, tools, paperwork, etc... all scattered everywhere.  Compared to that your truck looks pretty clean.

Nice pix, Zaino would like to talk to you about using your truck for the "before" shot. :thumbs:

 

"All the crud you see on it is cattle manure." - bet that discourages tailgaters :thumbs:

Oh, I know its damn clean compared to how it gets in the springtime when we're calving.  Mud and gravel on the floorboards piled way up from our rubber boats.  The truck gets vacuumed out once a year, the day before we go to the state fair in August.  Any more than that and we are just wasting our time as it'll be dirty as heck in a couple days again anyway.  Both dad and I don't let stuff pile up in there though, that just gets annoying.  

 

I just figured these pics would get a good reaction out of a few of you though.   :thumbs:

That's not to bad looking.  My truck looks worse on the outside that that cause I haven't cleaned it in so long, and I live in a city.  That interior is pretty bad, mine has been pretty nasty though.  It is amazing what happens when you drive around with windows open all the time and then never close the rear flip-out windows ever.  Combine that with all of the freakin' dirt and dust of a desert and our 300+ windy days a year and you get a pretty dirty truck.  :thumbs:

Wholly sh*t!!!  Can you even see the gauges at night?  Or is there so much dust on the lense that blocks out the light.  :thumbs:

Tom's probably having a heart attack right now!!  :thumbs:  :D

Haha, now that made me laugh :thumbs:

LOL, nah, but I could clean it up real good for him.  :D

 

If you want to see REALLY dirty, you should see a truck that is run on a job site at a coal mine.  Coal dust sticks to everything and is mesy as he!!.  Mix it with some mud or water, and you have one he!! of a mess.  I've seen dad's work truck so bad at times that the only things not covered in a hard layer of grayish/black crap is something that moves, like wheels, hinges, fan, and steering shaft.  I'll try to get a picture of it sometime when it's pretty bad like that.

Ok, I'm doing this as a public service for JP, this is what the interior should look like when clean.  THis should give you some direction in case you want to try this weekend to clean her up a little.  :thumbs:

 

Look...gauges that you can see...

Well Lane, some of us use these trucks for what they were made to do, WORK!

And one more interior shot I took this afternoon, I'm thinking this may be the only truck on this forum with mud, cow manure, diesel fuel, and oil tracked into it (all are on the floor in this pic).  Oh, and yes, that is manure on my right pant leg.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
