Yeah, it sounds like he's talking about loading it down with a heavy trailer and how much more weight the motor can handle now.

I'm just gonna drive it, I don't plan on hauling or using the Diesel in that regards. More just for better mileage

Yep, knew that already. Doesn't help that they hold more oil that my car uses in a year.

The only leak he mentioned in an email was the dipstick where it goes into the block. I wanna make sure its not a main or an oil pan though.

That looks like a nice one though, I assume you're looking at the uncapped model?

I bet A&A could get you a decent price. Unless you have commitment issues
