Electricity takes the path of least resistance. This truck has at least four ground cables on it. There's one from the battery to the alternator, one from the battery to the frame and engine block on each side from each battery and one from the head to the firewall that looks like a braided...

So the consensus is that Walmart's Super Tech AF is a fraud? I find it hard to believe that they sell millions of gallons of coolant and oil and its all subpar snake oil. If they were selling automotive fluids that were dangerous to use they'd have been sued out of business years ago. I can...

Your right, I was checking continuity not voltage. I tried it again but only on the two trucks here, my town car, and my girlfriends new Bronco Sport. Using several meters I get roughly 1 volt below battery voltage on every vehicle and the positive lead bubbles when it hits the coolant. The one...

I've changed my oil every 4 to 5k, it makes no sense to dump out oil that still looks new. If it goes bad sitting then what I'll put in it isn't any newer. It all came with the truck or was bought in bulk at that time. The same with the the Motorcraft coolant that everyone says to get rid of...

Neglected? Its only got 12,000 miles on it. Its due for its third oil change soon. I did the last oil change, full synthetic at 8,500 miles in 2016. At the current rate of use it'll have 20k on it about the time I turn 80 in 20 or so more years. Its never been more than 10 miles from the house...

It really wasn't like that, as a driver we got paid by the stop, and they paid me an extra $100/wk to come in 1/2 hr early to start all the trucks and check the oil, antifreeze, and power steering fluid, and do a quick walk around on the truck I drove and two others that left before daybreak...

I was working for a company up to last year that had a dozen or so heavy trucks. The one I drove would use some antifreeze every so often. It had a ton of miles on it so they just added coolant as needed. Since the trucks were parked a few miles up the road from the terminal I would carry 3 or 4...
