Drove my truck to church yesterday cause my wife couldn’t get ready on time.[don’t get me started on that]and I noticed that the oil life remaining was down to 25%. Just the week before it had been in the 40% range. Now I did make a 350 mile trip pulling an empty trailer but didn’t think it would make that much of a difference. So I changed it and where I keep my records I have only gone 3,100 miles on that oil change I did in Dec.. I almost always get between 6,000 and 7,000 miles by the indicator between changes. We had a very harsh winter like everybody else. Would that effect oil life? The other factor was I noticed while hauling my H Saturday the truck didn’t seem to have the same zip I am used too. So while doing the oil change I looked that the air filter life indicator and it was in the green. But I thought what the heck I will pull it out and look at it. It was the dirtiest air filter I have ever seen. When I tapped on it about a cup of what looked like quick Crete fell out of it. {we live on a gravel road}.Man the truck runs like a bat of Joplin now. What a difference. Would the plugged air filter affect oil life? Do any of you guys put any stock in these indicators? By the way the truck is a 2008 duramax. Thanks, Paul

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
