Our local FD has been using battery powered for quite a few years now. Silent, lighter, stronger and no worries about fuel storage. The boys were quite happy with them.

No pictures yet.... beef round roast came out of the oven and resting. Just a simple cook at 200 to 300F incrementally. It's probe tender and smells good. Then overnight brined chicken thighs on the Traeger. 360F and should be done in half an hour..... Then some sort of one dish oven baked...

My daughters 2004 Ford Escape 3.0. Out was conventional Boss 5w20 and a Service Champ OF2222 filter. This looked to have been done at one of the local quick changes several years ago with the previous owner. I am unsure of the mileage but it wasn't overly dark and according to the sticker, it...

@D6 I had been eyeballing some Sach's foe my daughters Escape...... perhaps not so much now....

That kleen flo stuff seems to work quite well. I usually do a gravity bleed and slide pins every 2 to 3 years. The grease, while dark hasn't degraded into putty, it still has the same consistency as it went in.

I've been using this stuff for years.

3 oil changes post delete.

My 2017 made the oil black, pretty quick. Tested at .58% soot. Since deleting, the oil turns black, pretty quick. Tested at .44% soot.

Fram toughguard on my Craftsman mower and Ultras on the quad and SxS.

^^^^^ and he wins the toaster!!!!!

I had looked at another truck owners UOA. He runs a newer Ram 5500 commercially hauling albeit towards the southern states and he is north of 200,000 miles. He normally runs T6 5w40. His iron was trending about 1ppm/1000miles. He also ran an index of T5 10w30 (if I recall), his iron went up...

Fillets and ribs tonight.

Took some time this morning with the steam truck, thawing out another watering bowl. 90 feet of water line had to be cleared. She froze bad as the ground is cleared of snow and frequently driven on. Ribs now on the Traeger and some time on the trails. My daughters sled, Btchy Mike had a...

Just drive and continue living life. Subjectively, I have a hard DD routine with my Trailblazer. I have a 14km one way route to work. Grid road, highway and a bit of small city. It seems I had to work on every cold day. -37 starts and driving. The transmission doesn't even warm up enough...

@ripcord thats a great idea but I don't want to have to hack down bushings to make access to the river or have to trailer anything. I'm lazy. But in reality, that would be fun!! On a side note, my girl got her license! First try, no deductions! She was pretty stoked!

Oh and im depressed. I'm starting some days off but it's melting outside. I want to go snowmobiling! Sure I'll fill that time making some beef jerky, ribs and steaks on the Traeger but it's just not the same.

Heading into town today. Have some parts to buy for the Escape and maybe get my hip cracked at chiro. Oh and my daughter tries for her drivers license today....

Man, this is crazy. I am so blessed with my parents. My god, in their late 70s and early 80s and they still put money in for their grandkids education, send out Christmas and birthday money. I feel for those that never had it this good. My parents never took anything from anyone. They were...

I suspect not only an engineering issue but parts supplier as well. Look at the 6.7 water pump recall. One supplier was fine and the other were junk. Look at all the cam and lifter issues with the gas engines. Penny pinching and a race to the bottom.

In my old AYP Poulan with the LCT engine, I used left over synthetic 5w30. Ran great for years until the gear box broke. I will say this, it started all day every day. I never bothered with the electric start, messing with an extension cord was not worth my time. It's starting procedure was...
