I’ve always thought of this stuff as snake oil but thought you guys would get a kick out of it. It’s marketed primarily to truck drivers much in the same way that Lucas oil stabilizer is. The owners frequent some of the shows I go to and always have quite the sales pitch. It’s made in Monett MO...

Thought some of you might get a kick out of this. We own/control around 300 acres of hay field and pasture ground and always have a slew of locals asking to fish the ponds or river, wanting to hunt this or that, look for mushrooms, etc. The answer is and has always been no. Today I had a...

My service contract is up on my Deere 1025r so I have to do my own maintenance from now on. These tractors use an inline filter along with a cartridge filter/water separator. I’ve ordered loads of these off Amazon for gas OPE and we use the Prime Line version from Oreillys at work. I’ve also...

Been looking around at used laptops to run Forscan for our ford pickups and to work on some of the local fire departments Fords as well. I’d also like to get some OBD software to do other vehicles as well. My current scanner is pretty basic and I don’t think Forscan does anything but Ford...

I traded a used pickup bed and rear bumper for this yesterday. It runs fantastic and the engine date shows it to be only 2 years old. I will have to replace and rewire the ignition and starter controls as they were cut off but it pull starts fine. Trying to decide what oil to run; it will live...

Wanted to start a discussion for people who are shopping for deals. I’ll start off with this Neiko socket set. I purchased the first one last year and have used it commercially and it’s been great. Just ordered a second one to keep at the farm and I’ll leave the other at work. Neiko 3/8 Impact...

I have several trailers with oil bath hubs that I use Lucas Hub Oil in. I’ve always been suspicious that the hub oil was just their Stablilizer in a different bottle. Wondering if the 132 might work in place of it.

I'm needing new mufflers for my service truck as the old ones basically rusted off. Trying to decide if I shell out the $ for the Walker 21910 Quiet-Flow Stainless mufflers that it calls for or go with something on Amazon. The tail pipes will have to be replaced anyway so I'm not tied to the...

Installed this filter on Thursday and made a trip to Arkansas on Friday without issue. Yesterday the lot guy started the truck to move it and noticed a massive fuel leak. I went to check it out this morning and found the gasket pushed out. It would spray fuel 3-4 feet off the side of the engine...

This was in service for roughly 3,000 miles and 1 year. Total miles on the vehicle is roughly 256,000. Oil was CenPeCo 5w40 HDEO. Back in was SuperTech Full Synthetic High Mileage 5w30 along with same filter.

This filter had a damaged thread and wasn’t able to be fully installed. Rust is from sitting open on my truck bed for a couple weeks. I’m using these with a Donaldson filter head and the blue 10GPM Harbor Freight to supply fuel to tractors and equipment out of a 50 gallon tank on my flatbed...

The fluid in my transfer case is black again with roughly 20k miles since the last change. I’m using Mercon LV now. I’m not totally up on transfer case fluids and I was wondering if there’s a more robust alternative to the LV ATF or if I should stick with that? Years ago I had one rebuilt in an...

Never owned a small GM truck but I'm very familiar with the Ford Ranger platform. There is a 2000 Sonoma coming up on auction soon that has 14,500 miles. It was owned by the auction company and I've known the company and owner since the truck was new; miles are legit. It has a 2.2l and...

Bought a 50 gallon aluminum transfer tank at auction with a 12v Fillrite pump. It was advertised as having some liquid in it-owner doesn’t know what’s in it and can’t get the pump to work. That’s how I bought it. Never actually looked at it up close. Much to my surprise when I went to load it...

I recently purchased this ex-USPS Mack tractor. There has been no maintenance done since 2007ish as far as I can tell. I want to do a service(maybe a couple) on the transmission. There's no current indication of a problem. What would you recommend? It currently has something red in it that...

Here are some photos of my first time cleaning a Spinner 2(first time I’ve actually seen one). I recently bought this truck and it hasn’t seen any PM work in years. I’m slowly working though it. I didn’t have the kit for it so I reused the O rings and didn’t worry about the little paper liner...

***also used 1 pint of Schaeffer 132. This was from 100% down to 14% on IOLM. Same oil back in but didn't have any 132 to add this time.

I'm having trouble finding a monitor for my shop workstation. Currently I have a Lenovo 14" laptop in the top of a Harbor Freight 5 drawer cart. We're starting to migrate to a digital work management system and as a shift foreman, my screen time is going to increase. I'm going to use the...

Was on my Tercel for 14 months and 4100 miles. Oil was Schaeffer 9000 5w40 and 1/2 bottle of Schaeffer 132 oil treatment. CenPeCo 5w40 went back in with a Toyota 90915-YZZN1 filter. ADBV was soft and pliable. Oil was very dark and clung to everything. This filter has been drained upside down...

Was in service from 100% down to 20% on IOLM, approximately 6500 miles. Oil was Schaeffer 9000 5w30 and 1 bottle of Schaeffer 132 oil treatment. Same oil went back in with a Fleetguard LF3681. ADBV was still soft and pliable.
