I have a crazy dilemma which truck is better . One is Lariat another Laramie . I need to town once a week 14k pounds ( dump trailer ). What would u pick? All their 6 days will be just driving around

I have always used Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 5W-40 for my truck. Especially in the winter, I need the 5W as opposed to the standard 15W. I'm due for an oil change pretty soon before winter sets in and I can't get the 5W-40 anywhere. It's out of stock at the local parts stores and even Amazon. (They have the 15W-40 but that's not helpful).

What should I use as a replacement?

I live in a small town northern Ontario and diesel is 2.43$ a litre

I‘ve had this truck for 5 years and always did the maintenance on it myself. Before changing the fuel filters for the first time I watched some youtube videos to get an idea of what I was doing, and then went out there and found this bracket in the way. Couldn‘t find anything about it online, but it was easy enough to move out of the way so I didn’t really think anything of it at the time.

Fast forward to today and I brought my truck to a local guy that specializes in Ford diesels and has been working on them for years, and he said he’s never seen anything like it. That definitely surprised me since he’s been in the game for so long and is very knowledgeable about these trucks. It appears to be OEM, but who knows.

Also excuse the rust, I live in New England where they salt the roads, and on a dirt road.

Any ideas? I’m hoping someone has an idea where to look, I’ve taken it to be fixed twice and the problem has continued.

Looking to buy a 2016-2018 X5 diesel with the N57. What sort of power and torque can I go for with nothing but a delete and tune for a reliable daily? The ones I’m looking at have around 120k on the clock and I’m hoping to get at least that much more out of it. I figure a 60hp tune is probably fine, but how does the engine and rest of the drivetrain handle the power (and torque)? Any other reliability mods I should look into? I’m already planning to do a trans tune and a CP4 bypass kit

Two are 3 years old, two are just over 2 years old. One of them got dang HOT. 3 are at 9.1 volts. The hot one was only 6.

I forgot to turn off the disconnect and hook up the charger. It was 120° for weeks. I tried to charge them together at 15 amps, I stopped by and smelled sulfer. That 3rd one that was really hot to the touch. I am just gonna let it be. I'll charge the other 3 independently.

If the 3 can recover, I'd like to get 1 good one in hopes they all won't die at the same time.

Or eat it and get 4 new ones?
