The poison ivy in Ontario looks like this. Low to the ground. The highest I've seen would be about 12" but usually only 3-6" high. I've never seen a vine here.
I did some at your GTG spot like the pic below in 2015 under the trees in the middle of the area. I didn't see any this year.
The oil on the leaves is durable and can stay on your boots for quite a while.
Not recommended as an ass wipe unless you're into that sort of pain.

Evening everyone
Had a great day at the army base and wreath laying.
The two guys that were in Grandpa's unit didn't come because of health issues.
But there where two other guys from different units.
One guy is in his 90's and climbed right up into an Apache helicopter like a little kid.
That right there made my day.

Does he have positive crankcase pressure? Try popping the oil fill off while it's warmed up and running. I'd change the oil pressure sending unit.
the stepper Motors that run the gauges are known for going bad in those trucks. Just Google it, plenty of places repair them out there

I'm no mechanic, but couldn't broken rings cause positive crankcase pressure resulting in a high oil pressure reading.

It's reading high when the motor isn't even running.

I found out that before I got it a co worker tryed to fix it. He found #6 plug is wet with fuel not oil. So it got all new sparkplugs a new coil & wire on #6.

Either run it local/farm truck duty for a while, or throw money at it lol.

Gages go wonky quite often in those clusters, don't be surprised when the speedo quits :)

Unless it is just a cracked manifold, which I doubt, sounds like the fix is gonna involve ripping the heads off. Well the head bolts are tty and shouldn't be reused. Then if it turns out to be a lower end issue...

Be cheaper to get a runner from the junkyard and swap the whole thing imo...
