    Cashiers/Monitors at Self Checkouts in Grocery Stores.

    I don't do self checkout. If I have to wait in a line then so be it. People need jobs to pay their bills. I use a lane with a hard working checkout. Wife uses self checkout and drive through at the credit union. I go in and speak to the people that approve loans and that lets them know I...

    Gear Oil at 20,000 miles in Ford 9.75” Diff

    I had my right shoulder dislocated when I had hernia surgery because I coded on the operating table. They jerked me off that table to resuscitate me but I was in a coma for 3 days. When I went home I couldn't even pickup my coffee cup. I talked to a preacher that prayed for me and told me...

    Drone for roof inspection

    I had a roof replaced by my insurance company for hail damage. They took amazing satellite images of my roof. Then they sent an adjuster out to walk on it. I was amazed at the definition and the zoom of those images. They inspected it again by satellite after it was replaced.

    you may want to check out Hotpoint. It is just a lower end GE with older designs. We have Hotpoint gas though but they have electric too. They are less expensive but older design reliable.

    Anyone brazed a brass radiator before?

    I have soldered on radiators before used a thin point propane torch and good lead solder. Be careful with the heat and don't stay on one spot too long or it will oxidize and not stick. Does that truck have the 2.3L and the timing belt?

    Can I use 10w-40 in a 5.3 engine?

    The previous owner of my Yukon used only 10-40 oil. He worked at a tractor dealer that had it in bulk so that's what it got. At 216 K it still runs great and doesn't use oil.

    Should I be afraid of a Briggs Engine

    All of mine have Briggs motors. I have 4 lawn tractors and one is from 1977 and has never been apart with one spark plug change and a fuel line replaced. I have learned to rely on Briggs.

    I use them in ally stuff. They now have a 4 year replacement battery. That's better than Walmart. Those are not 55 dollars.

    2024 Silverado 1500 LT Crew 4x4 5.3 or 2025 Ram 1500 Bighorn Crew 4x4 3.0 Hurricane?

    i have a Ram and it has those gears and a Hemi. Pulls really strong and with my 5th wheel still gets 11mpg calculated. Rides very nice too. Have a 5.3 Yukon too that has only pulled a golf cart so no clue about its ability. For me it would be the Ram.

    I bought a leaf bag wagon years ago with 6.5 HP Briggs. Had a new motor and would not start. Ended up having a spider web under the on off switch cleaned. It off and started right up.

    10 HP Tecumseh (Generator) Stahls After Starting

    See if your exhaust valve has a gap. The old valves strech and it won't run very long. Grind off top for some clearance or just replace the valve.

    OLD TRUCKS VS NEW TRUCKS

    I just hate the height of the new trucks. Why can't they be shorter to the ground so my 5'7 wife and I can get in without a step bar. I am 6'1 and I still need the step bar to get in. I have a replacement left hip and if it wasn't for the grab handle I probably wouldn't make it inside. Old...
