yeah all of these all aluminum motors are a little noisy at idle you can hear the drivetrain alot more than a cast iron block as long as its running poorly or very loud i would say leave it be.also these trucks are known for exhaust leaks and that can mislead u to thinking it is the engine cus they sound very similar

Seems like its worth its price if it cures your problem. I have debated putting it in my diffs and TC case. Or go with the Tech stuff from Walmart and change it more often. (like Spike does)
Yep, I ran Castrol Synthetic 5w30, then Mobil1 5w30 Synthetic High Mileage, then Mobil1 10w30 Synth High Mileage. Same thing every time. I switched to RP and so far so good.

I have it in my diffs right now, haven't gotten around to putting it in my TC yet.

I put in shell rotella 15w40 as is suggested on this board, and my valve train noise quieted down substantially.

I would use Royal Purple if I didnt have to put a second mortgage on the house to do one oil change.
I swear by Rotella, 15w-40.
