Stock late build 2004 with 128K miles. Been worrying about deltas so started monitoring. Well as best I can tell as I live in hilly southeast TN I am running a 19 degree delta:sick:. Luckily my commute doesn't cause the departure very often as I only have short bursts of highway speed and mostly traffic jams but I have seen 30+ pulling a hill (oil temp <220F).
I have read dozens of threads and have seen that this topic draws out tons of opinions. Very hard to sort through opinions to find the facts but one thing is for certain...I need to be proactive or this will end more expensively. I plan on all the usuals (flush, stock oil cooler, egr delete, coolant filter, blue spring and all the other little odds and ends).
Anyone know of a good shop in the Chattanooga area? I'm 2hrs from Atlanta, Knoxville, Hunstville and Birmingham. Willing to commute for a good shop.
Thanks for this community!
