Replacing fuel line from gas tank to carb on my stihl chainsaw, I think the gasket around the tank was going bad. Doesn’t leak now when running it. Making a new hydraulic bottle jack handle out of old pipe, cutting the slots for the t-bolt release. Lost the original somewhere.

Zero issues here, its a good bargain for me to use in relatives vehicles.

Rotated the tires on the wife's Durango, 88,454 miles on the Michelins and the original three gauged at 7/32" surprisingly (6249 miles on this rotation). A couple weeks back I did have to swap out a plugged tire, for another Michelin it has 10/32" on it. Probably replace them all in the winter...

Hard boiled eggs and cheerios...

I would love to have one of these brush mulcher’s for the back of my Deere. https://baumalight.com/product/brush-mulchers/mp360

Same here, I think they use that at my work on middle management😂

First time I have ever heard a Jeep owner speak those words😆.

10w40 if you could still plug in the block heater, but 5 or 0 if you couldn’t plug in would definitely be better. Your batteries will thank you later.

Not sure if it has anything to do with it but the zinc and phosphorus is limited to 800ppm specifically in the Delo 5W40 XSP that’s why it does not meet the Ford 6.7L Powerstroke requirement.

That engine won’t really care what you put in it, I do 7500-10k intervals and UOA’s have come back good. Rotella T6, VPBE, Mobil, or Delo are all good oils. I’d focus more on using good filters: oil, air, and fuel. Donaldson makes some really good oil & air filters. Their top of the line oil...

Replaced the 12 year old TPM’s in my Ram 2500 after two were failing. I bought the Schrader brand from Rockauto, Belletire installed them for free when I had my tires replaced last fall.

My brother replaced his 2016 5.7L with 240k plus mile truck with a 2025 SST 3.0L Laramie around three months ago. I’d go 5w30 full synthetic or 0w30 M1 ESP, we’ll see when he calls for an oil change😉.

The Potassium is from the EGR, mine took awhile to wash out and it did increase from my first sample to my second sample. The newer hydraulic lifter 6.7's definitely are interesting looking at the numbers compared to my 2012.

@18FAN Says Malcore's on the label, don't know much about them. She also bought bakes goods/pastries like Kringles. Wife had to stop at the Mars Chees Castle in Kenosha, Wisconsin on the way back home.
