heres a heads up I just received. 1st gen 6 cyl only take 3.5 quarts oil. I had 5 in mine. the pressure (im guessing) gave me terrible metalic chatter Ive been trying to remedy. drained 1.5 quarts and chatter all but disappeared. snds way better, and i wont blow up my motor! hopefully this fixes my chatter completely . Ill see over a day or so. hope i didnt damage anything. only ran truck one day with 5 qrts.

after i reduced my oil appropriately it ran better but the noise was still there. turns out it was a vacuum leak under the place where egr valve is. sounds great now. When car is cold however it cuts off from time to time at stops. not sure what it is. Its been triple seafoamed, new fuel filter, air breather mod and maf cleanse. dont know..
