I went lump sum with no regrets. My money, my hands on it. The only "annuity" I may receive is Social Security. I wonder which one of us will survive the longest, me or SS.

I remember that from the Nixon era. Living in deep South Texas I wasn't severely impacted.I remember the spots and discussion on nightly national news showing kids going to school in the dark. DST all year would be my & my wife's preference.

The user name was Excalibur, don't depend on my spelling to be 100% accurate on New Zealand English.

To hold off further diatribe the very first sentence in my post was "set the stage", not anything conclusive.

There's a well documented shootout in 1986 Maihat cost many law enforcement lives that set the stage for 38 Special being lumped into the description as underpowered for a law enforcement handgun revolution and "black" semiautomatic carbines in patrol cruisers instead of shotguns. There's no...

I''m running the larger Quaker State 3600 this run, last run I used an Affinia era Carquest Plus. The face velocity in these applications is very low compared to an automobile. It adds about half a quart circulating oil volume vs the spec Koehler filter. YMMV

BP purchased (merged was a gentler term) with Amoco and ARCO in the late 90's - early 'oughts. Between then and now there's been divestitures with other companies picking up the pieces or simply shut down and scrapped.

NAPA has original green in both concentrate and 50/50 mix, and it's on sale right now with free ship-to-store. https://www.napaonline.com/en/search?text=zerex%20original%20green%20low%20silicate%20concentrate%20antifreeze%2Fcoolant&referer=v2

Marine White gasoline was, and I suppose still is tertaethyl lead free. It was the original unleaded pump gasoline in the days of regular leaded and premium leaded "ethyl". My dad used Marine White gasoline in our OPE back in those days.

Thanks but this truck doesn't have a limited slip differential. This 4X4 has a dial for 2WD, 4WD Auto, and 4WD Lock. My take is the 4WD Auto feature negates need for a LSD. I 'ver owned vehicles with a LSD and they required the additive. A number of fully synthetic gear oils seem to have been...

Thanks all, I've shelved the Lubegard Gear Oil additive for now. I take there's no BITOG members that have firsthand experience with this additive unlike many of the Lubegard products.

A recent post regarding Lubegard prompted me to review their products. I have a rear differential oil change I need to perform on my 2012 RAM Big Horn 4X4. Owners manual states use of a full synthetic 75W-140 GL-5oil. I picked up 3 quarts of Mobil 1 75W-140 for this purpose at an AAP that's now...

If you have a Sam's Club membership you may want to check pricing of the Duracell AGM batteries made by East Penn.
