Thank you both for the advice. You've saved me a lot of grief, I'm sure. I'm definitely going for a drive before changing the oil. I may also flush the radiator. I'm using the Tech Tips article Winterizing Your Truck as my guide, somewhat. I don't intend to fill the gas tank, as the article suggests, because I don't think I could use it up before it goes bad.

Maybe I'll still have time to fix the toilet. smile
