    Best engine oil for 12 valve cummins

    I've read so many articles and seen three different grades recommended by auto parts stores, and I've got a little bit of analysis paralysis going on. I figured, what better way to cut through the noise than to ask some guys who live close to where I live, and might have some real world...

    I'd love to get another one of these: I'd be fine with either this style, or the all black version, as I'm probably going to paint these black anyway. Let me know if you've got one and what you might want.
