I finally changed the oil and filter again, put in 10w30 Maxlife. I took it to the coin op car wash and "washed it" just to get the pollen off of it.
I bought a Curt class IV hitch receiver from Amazon and installed it. It didn't line up with the holes from the old hitch, so I had to drill new holes, and it took a little massaging with a flap wheel to get it just right, but it's on now. I'll never tow anything more than a 5x8 utility trailer with this truck so Class IV is way overkill, but it was only a few dollars more than the class III and it's definitely better than pulling with a bumper ball.
The A/C compressor is starting to vibrate worse as I run the truck more and more so I'll be keeping a close eye on it. The A/C is still holding refrigerant and blowing cold though.
Also I'm going to replace the clutch pedal bushings to hopefully tighten the pedal up a bit. It's a common issue and there is visible play in the bushings.
