Kinda disappointed how poorly Synpower did since it’s on the Military approval list.

I’m also interested, we have a 2024 Suburban Duramax on order that should be here in a few months. I’ve been doing as much reading as I can on the different Dexos D oils.

Have both and will be getting another upright. So much easier to keep organized.

Edited: I didn’t read the last part of your post about the pour point. Thanks for testing those, I was really curious about the Valvoline which doesn’t look that great on paper.

Stupid people pay stupid prices. Trust me, I’m not a sympathetic individual. No one is forced to buy a vehicle and everyone has to sign the dotted line and own the choice they made. But this thread was about “fair” dealer practices and having a customer believe the interest rate they are given...

Most dealerships are crooks, just look at the financing, they will try and finance you the highest rate possible. I’ve known people to walk out of a dealer with a loan for 15+% when a local credit union would be half that. When I bought my truck new in 2015, the payment the dealer came back with...

They get rear heaters, spray foam, paneling(these latest 3 didn’t come with panels from Ford), installation of our Adrian Steel package we put together, vise setups, CNG setups(for work), interior ladder rack, construction of wood boxes to hold our gas meters, a table and few other things...

Our vans are all 3/4 ton, single rear wheel, wheelbases between the MB & Ford were really close. Transit vans are the high roof. I outfit them with another guy(have built out like 20+ vans now)and we used the same Adrien Steel bin packages so the rear cargo areas were almost identical in length...

I work for a utility company and drive a service van every day. The company bought a bunch of Sprinters then after a couple years phased them out and replaced them with Ford Transit vans with the Ecoboost. Sprinters are expensive to repair. I have a lot of drive time in both, 2 years in a...

Semi Auto 9mm then put her in a CCW class followed by a 2-3 day level 1 class, typically 600-1,000 rounds. Best to rent from the class and try different guns if possible, most women will have a strong preference to what is comfortable. She needs to know how to shoot, clear malfunctions, reload...

Old thread but I hope the oil is authentic Valvoline. I bought a case of 12 of the 75w90 bottles a few weeks ago when it was $99 and free shipping, only $8.25/qt...

The one doing the work gets to set the pay, whether you think it’s fair or not is irrelevant.

Why not a construction trade? Paid OJT, potential to exceed 6 figures, can lead to very good utility jobs. There’s a nationwide shortage of tradesmen.

Been following BITOG for a while and signed up because of this thread. I’m in AK so shipping oil isn’t feasible but I would PayPal $20 if you were willing to purchase a quart of Valvoline SynPower 75w90. The cases of 12 on Amazon are only $99 which comes out to $8.25/qt. I run this in the...
