With truck prices, its a keeper for a long time! Mine since new, 4x4 with 3.92's.
That copper is most likely from mos2, but it is still low and the juice is worth the squeeze in a hemi and it's need for moly.With truck prices, its a keeper for a long time! Mine since new, 4x4 with 3.92's.
But, I did add a full 3 gears to the '6' speed.
Copper has crept up over the last 30k; but it is still super low vs their universal averages. It's at 6 today, and had a low of 3; and a high of 8 at my first analysis at 75k miles.
If I have to put a 6.4L in it, I will!

The photo is taken on an Iphone 16, not exactly a poor resolution camera. When I post it, for some reason the quality goes to hell for some reason, i will keep trying to edit it. I added the photo through my phone, the photo itself is 3mp 1179x571 KB.
I have the iPhone 15 pro max, I down load my photo direct from the I-cloud to desk top and post them here with out editing them and they look better, I'm not sure what's going on unless its a photo setting in iPhone 16 that this site does not like... Example of one of my photos below:
Any ticking? You may have a lifter eating away at the cam
None that I’ve noticed. Was planning to do a cam kit plus a blower soon anyways. Guess I’ll find out then, if it lasts that long.
There was another guy on bobs who had a bunch of UOAs showing low iron and then one showed almost 100ppm of iron and he did some short OCIs with analysis but the high iron remained. No noises but when he pulled the cam, there was some delamination of the surface some of the cam lobes. Could be whats going on here. I guess resample maybe after 1500-2500 miles, maybe even try a different oil next time see if anything brings the iron down
I wouldn't be worried, iron is a tad high but not quite in sweet spot for engine age and you are still on 20 weight, and my guess you drive on the hard side of center. I would however use this report to get off 20 weight, maybe a super class 0w40 close to cst12, or a real HP 30 weight such as super car HP 0w30, or since you are in the south redline 5w30. When you Toss those HP parts you will want a HP oil and not some random 20 weight. My guess most of the guys here will say the same.
I think this should work. All I hear are the injectors

I’m running PUP 5w30, not 20, but I ain’t married to it and am definitely willing to try something else.
30 weight is 9.3 to 12.5, Pennzoil is a very thin 5w30 and when you add biotech it becomes a 5w20. It isn't known for much shear, but that is possible as well. Working an engine hard can shred viscosity, you might even want to try 5w40. You might play around with it before you go high performance, because ending viscosity is what matters and it was at 20. Those last 2 oils I mentioned are known for not shredding visc, they stay thicker then most 0w40's at the end of an interval. Good luck to you, thanks for sharing your uoa.
Smooth as can be id sayI think this should work. All I hear are the injectors
