Lately all iv done is wheel the truck whenever I'm home on the weekends and its been getting progressively worse running and I haven't done any maintenance in a long time. I got home and fired it up to find a fairly bad miss and found a few things wrong and decided to do a general tuneup and run a compression test. I was surprised to find all the cylinders between 155 and 165 but I'm burning a lot of oil so it pretty much points to valve seals... so I'm probly gonna order up engine builders top end gasket kit and do a valve job after the first of the year.

Also made a deal to get new 5.29s front and rear fairly soon so hopefully progress soon.
