    Price variations in fuel

    I doubt it was widespread, more likely a station issue that never got addressed between MENSA meetings in the breakroom. Their corporate attitude to the problem made me cut that pony out of the herd.

    Price variations in fuel

    I quit Speedway after my truck froze up the day after filling up at one. Of course they denied that their fuel was the issue. I had the receipts and they should have owned up to it but they wouldnt. Fortunately for me I had connections with the tow company and got it towed for minimal costs. An...

    Where to find SAE 40 for Detroit Diesel?

    I recall in the past that we tried to use a different oil due to supply issues and we found that it didnt have the low ash content that Detroit recommends for the 2 strokes. As I recall it was a name brand monograde but after investigating it was out of spec. According to the Rotella spec sheet...

    Where to find SAE 40 for Detroit Diesel?

    We ran Delvac 1230 in all ours for many years. Ours were in firetrucks that got full throttle as soon as they lit. We never had a bad oil analysis and a few of them I know the whereabouts of are still running strong 35 yrs later. Last I knew the Delvac was still available...

    LSj video about diesel fuel additives

    I ran PS when I had my 05 Duramax, unfortunately not enough to overcome all the water I got in a tank of fuel North of Cinci. Some 911 and a tow back to my warm garage to change the fuel filter and it was all better. Of course Speedway denied it was their fuel.

    The ambers over the wheel arch are a GMC thing only. No Silverados have them.

    Silverado auxiliary battery

    Sounds like the battery has an internal short. Make sure you put it outside, it's done. My understanding is that the dual batteries on the gasser do not work together when starting. My main battery went bad on my 24 and the truck wouldn't start even with voltage in the 2nd battery. The 2nd...

    Sea water for fire fighting?

    The pumps on the apparatus will require a thorough flush with fresh water when they are done. Prolonged use of salt water will attack the pump packing and deteriorate it. Salt water is commonly used in the middle east. They learned the hard way that the typical truck mounted pump would not...

    I picked up my 11 qts of M1 this morning. Nothing else on clearance in the store. My guess is ours is staying open, its looked well stocked and was pretty busy.

    the OFFICIAL "Advance Auto Parts (AAP) closing" thread ... put ALL deals, rebates, etc here ... (forum rules still apply)

    I got to the party late. My order for the gallons of Blaster was cancelled and the 5qt jugs of 5W30 truck and SUV were sold out. I have an order in for 11 qts of the M1 at my local store. I am hoping to pick that up tomorrow. Sounds like the deals have been picked clean.

    Do you have a favorite fuel?

    I run Costco top tier in both vehicles as much as possible and Mobil when filling up in town. On the road I use Loves just for the convenience when towing.

    New to me 18 Cruze 1.4T oil filter

    Agreed, the Supertech MP were very much like the Champ XL and both were a great filter at a very good price.

    What is going on at Walmart ?

    Training and equipping employees to deal with the inevitable accidents is a good thing. The more people that know what to do the fewer that will be running around with their hair on fire.

    New to me 18 Cruze 1.4T oil filter

    The Champ number is PH10064. Other than the color of the paint they are the same filter as a AC PF64. I havent seen anything on that application requiring a UPF64.
