But every other weekend I drive about 15 minutes away for the weekend. I thing thatll be my best chance.
Keeping it under 2k rpm is just as bad as flogging the shit out of it everyday

Default Re: blowing the crap out?

Just getting the engine "warmed up" doesn't really do anything good. You need to take the truck out and drive long enough to build up enough heat in the engine to boil off the moisture built up from those short trips you take where it builds condensation from the heat cool cycles of bunny hops trips.
