    Car fire ... will ruin your day

    Had a fuel pump fail on my C30 and was spraying gas out. I made a ~100 mile trip the day before and caught a whiff but didn't see anything leaking when I popped the hood. Next day I checked with it running. Fan was blowing misted gas all over the engine bay 🤯. To include on the exhaust...

    I'd promptly fire them anyhow after that. We're dropping you. Not, that's not possible. I already fired you 2 weeks ago.

    lowering tire pressure to ~20 PSI for beach?

    I usually ran 5-10 psi depending on the trail. Just aired up after. Yeah, put no necessary if it's not loaded to max GVWR. I run my trucks heavy so 80 psi in the E rated and 100 in the G or H rated.

    drive cycle duration when use is infrequent?

    I have stuff that sits for months, even years. Mostly just unhook the battery or shutoff the night switch if it has one.

    What's the worst you've hurt yourself working on cars?

    Had a jack fail and drop a front axle right on my big toe while I was mocking up the suspension. Lower BJ nut square on it. Non steel toe boots. Picture smashing a grape. Was bad enough it made the nurse trainee/aprentice/whatever they're called puke when they were trying to kinda put it...

    Who's never traveled outside of the United States?

    I'm happy at my house, don't care to spend money going elsewhere. I mean I haven't even been all over my own property yet, and I bought it about 3 years ago.

    One grease for boat trailer and motorcycle trailer wheel bearings?

    I run Delo 5% moly in everything. Mostly cause I have like 150 tubes of it. Was old stock at work. But once I get through that in a year or two I plan to buy the same.

    Lucky to get a couple years out of those. The "rubber" dissolves faster than a donut at the cop station.

    Simpletire Trailer Tire age

    Trucks, trailers. They hold air fine and pass DOT, why not? Plus at ~400-500 a tire, I'm not dropping $10k on tires.

    Does Vice Grip Garage not know anything about Fram oil filters?

    I've been running Wix since the 90s, haven't had a reason to change. Easy to source, have filters for 95% of my stuff, price is fair. Fram killed many Cummins 6BTs in the 90s. To the point it was a TSB to not use Fram. Since then, I've had no interest in considering them.

    Does Vice Grip Garage not know anything about Fram oil filters?

    No idea who that is, but Fram is well known as being junk. Maybe improved since the 90s, but I won't use them.
