    good local diesel price

    I know it was amazingly cheap. Ram truck drove fine and the diesel looked good. I was watching the prices rise and rise, and some stations are at $3.75 I did not expect it that cheap. Bought today and it is Tuesday, and I think I will fill up more often. I get 2 -3 weeks out of a full tank.

    Taking it back is the right thing to do, no one wants to drive around with a crooked steering wheel, including them.

    It is tire marker paint pen, and it is not easy to remove.

    Other tire I bought was a WestLake SL309 LT23580r17 for the front driverfrom Walmart. Said they will mount and balance for $20. Being a 3500 2005 diesel dually, I have to roll the tire in by hand for them to do it.

    Cat 1R0750 diesel fuel filter cut open with 10,000 miles

    I recently tried using Hotshot Extreme and wow did it smooth out my Cummons diesel at idle, even more than HotShot EDT mixed with Seafoam. Did it in a about 50 miles. It also boosts cetane 6 or 7 points. I had ignored cleaning injectors a while. I did use Extreme when I first got the truck...

    New Sealed Jug of Antifreeze froze and burst in trunk of car?

    If you're getting zero volts, then it is good. Acidic antifreeze IS DEFINITELY an electrolyte solution, conducts current and you have created a functional low volage battery between radiator liquid and ground. You need to read up on galvanic potential created by noble and less noble metals...

    Scored a $250 Kubota GL7000 Diesel Generator

    No, they did not. Those are thicker plastic and the beetles don't smell the ethanol. Have not seen any damage to them

    Scored a $250 Kubota GL7000 Diesel Generator

    Not where I live in south east VA. Thing is we went for years without a problem then the last few years, they eat every plastic gas can. I ended up taping it all over with aluminum duct tape to try and keep them away. From what I have seen, they can't eat thru metal tape

    Scored a $250 Kubota GL7000 Diesel Generator

    $50 bought 10 years ago Carb float flooded entire crankcase with gasoline, seller thought it ruined. All it needed was oil change and carb cleaned And it needs carb cleaned again, diesel is so much nicer. Gasoline gens are no good for emergencies unless checked for running frequently. This one...

    New Sealed Jug of Antifreeze froze and burst in trunk of car?

    if reading is too high, remove battery terminal and test again as could be stray voltage affecting test. Stray voltage is not good, means you have current leaking from bad wiring like positive wire touching a ground or a failing electrical part leaking current. Which I suppose is draining down...

    Reversing the polarity will just change volts to neg or pos reading. Best would be a zero reading. His antifreeze passed freezing test, except it was too acidic

    Another site proves and verifies this is a legitimate test, explains how to do it. for the black lead all you need is a DC ground on the vehicle, they used the metal radiator top Other site said under 0.4 v is good, here it is 0.3 volts or lower. The lower the better...
