So i take it you have added some oil? i was wondering how these 5.0 guys would do on oil consumption. The test truck that i posted on here has always burned oil, and a guy i talked to a few days ago at the gas station said he was buring up to a quart every 1800-2500 miles, he had 9,000 miles on it.

Have not added any yet. I only have 1500 plus miles and have used about a half a quart.

If I remember correctly, it's 6.7 or some strange number.

If they are freshly cut and made. There was a place in Abilene, when we lived there. A great hamburger joint that made their own patties. They cut the onions daily and fried them when you ordered. They were awesome! The only problem was that they never cut enough, so you had to get there early to get the rings.
