General 96 Roadmaster thread

Another fun fact: AIR pump still works!

Ed noticed that my trailer hitch has a 2" receiver hole. Further inspection seems to reveal a Class III. I guess I can tow right up to 5,000 lbs! It doesn't have a trailer brake controller though. I think there is a requirement to use them over some weight that is less than 5,000. Still, it is nice to have a second vehicle on hand with this kind of tow rating. The brakes on the Ram are pretty atrociously bad (they need an overhaul) so I'd almost prefer to tow with the Roadmaster at the moment.

About 4,500 miles into oil change. Decided to check the level for the first time ever. It's at the top. LT1s are funny. They can leak a little and still don't consume any.

Ordered an oil filter adapter gasket and O-ring set. $6 shipped from Rockauto for AC Delco. Seems to come with both parts in the same P/N, at least according to the picture.

I guess I can check Amazon or a dealer.

It is twice as much on Amazon.

I will probably try a GM dealer. My choices are basically Paul Masse Buick GMC or Herb Chambers Cadillac. This part appears to be completely gone from Rockauto's listings. That is kind of scary.

In other news my external E-Zpass has still not arrived.

Ordered via Paul Masse. They do not stock it but seemed pretty confident it would arrive via local warehouse by tomorrow and I could pick it up Saturday.
