OK, I see your points... But what do I do now? I have 69,000 miles on the truck and am well beyond the factory warranty. Do I buy an extended warranty after the fact and just wait for the Engine to poofkaboom (a stoneman phrase used with permission of stoneman)?. Or do I just flush it and replace the orange stuff with more orange stuff? Are the black specs a sign of disaster looming? Being the hottest time of the year with a ride trip towing a hefty trailer looming in a couple weeks, I am worried this might be a "found on road DOA" scenario?
