Mobil 1 full synthetic in my truck. Warms up faster. Runs smoother.

easy buddy... you just wait until I buy my cam set for $1100... and throw in some EIP tuning on top of that.... Here are the cam specs by the way...

252° Intake Camshaft mated to 252° Exhaust Camshaft
11mm Lift (Intake / Exhaust)
Overlap Intake: 122°
Overlap Exhaust: 110°

Most synthetics if they are a full synthetic will give almost the same results.If there are any differnces they are so small it really isn't a real world gain to use one over the other.Now if it isn't a true 100% synthetic oil then of course you are not gonna get the added benefits.Ive used Royal Purple,Mobil1,and Redline to name a few and all done the job the same.here lately though I have been using Castrol Synthetic 0w-30 imported from Germany.It is working really well and is getting wide spread word of mouth results on the LS1/LS2 boards.So far the only place I have found to carry it is Autozone.You have to look on the back to make sure it is the German blend.It has a great pour point,is a real thick 30 weight synthetic oil damn close to 40w and keeps great viscosity even after long hard runs.Just do a search for German Castrol Syntec and see what all you can find out about it.

Well, 22 is Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) out of adjustment, meaning the signal voltage is low during engine idle... from the codes and running, the truck seems to be running too lean... what has been done to it since the problem and what was done before the problem? How long since the last tune-up and tb rebuild?

You could switch to synethic, or a partial synthetic and not too low of viscosity, but it sounds as if you have some driveablity problems to remedy first....

Right you are Max. German blend is what they say to put in my German car. HAHA... Seriously though, guys on vdub boards complain about their cars ticking without full synthetic.
