Changed the oil to Royal Purple w/ a Motorcraft filter (no more timing chain rattle)

Took the brushguard off and changed my mounts to my new ones that have no welds and moved the guard closer to the truck.

RP isn't actually the best oil, let me find a link to the oil review. I think Rotella and Valvoline were the top
