I bought the truck used from a "friend" he told me that he had always used syn. oil. I guess he believed the oil was good for the life of the truck which wouldn't have been much longer I'm afraid. I can't figure out how so much dirt got in it!!!

Leaves were there when I took intake off

All I can figure is he drove around with MAS unhooked and no air intake. He swears he has no idea why it looks like that. Looks like it came out of the junk yard, but all that has changed now
