Apologies FrankR. I didnÆt see your post. Thank you as well for your response. This vehicle is to be used to deliver traditional bow hunters to their individual tree stands or ground blinds. I donÆt drive more than 20 miles in a single trip. The truck basically idles around hunting camps. If I go hunt any further than that I trailer it.

Is there anything I can do now to help lessen the potential damage until next summer when I would have time to rebuild? Like engine additives or heavier oil? Or just say my little prayer [In the name of the father, the son, and Fred Bear] and drive it until it breaks, then worry about a rebuild.

I tiled my friendÆs bathroom floor for the truck. About a $500 dollar job total for the work. So I guess I am not out much.

OK thatÆs enough, now IÆm goinÆ on like a chick.

Thanks for everyoneÆs help!
