Since the mileage counter does not function anymore, we're just going to change the oil once a year at this point. It hasn't been probably 1000 miles since we put the Mobile 1 in with the motor swap ...

At a conservative shop rate of $150/ hour, that's now a $45000 truck. Turned out great, and was a fun way to spend some retirement time. It will get lots of use for sure.
