    Worth upgrading 13 year old boiler to mod/con with heat pump?

    Curious to see what general consensus is. Earlier this year installed a 3 ton Mitsubishi heat pump. Was fantastic for cooling even on hottest days throughout the summer. Going into heating season, curious to see how much I’ll actually need the boiler. Located in southern New England. Quick...

    6100 mile sample. Truck saw lots of heavy towing at least 60% or more of the mileage. About 3 months of winter use. I have an idea of what my plan is but Let’s hear the comments.

    6.7 PSD HPL 5w40 9800 miles

    Here is my 10K sample. It has been in the sump since October of 2021. Fuel is stupid this go around. Likely from the short winter driving I have been doing. However I did do a lot of towing over the summer and fall even into November. When I leave in the morning I put the truck on fast idle for...

    Opinions please! Home investment choices

    I am torn on what to use my workers comp settlement money towards. My property needs lots of big repairs. But at the same time the price of electricity has jumped from $0.17 to $0.29 per kWh in my area with no change in sight. My home uses 4 window air conditioners in the summer time that...

    Home Solar

    Just seeing how many of you have solar power for your home? Are you happy with it, and was it worth the cost, and has it eliminated your electrical bill other than “staying connected” cost? I have a quote for a 9.5kW system for my home, 28 panels (jinko) with a single string solar edge inverter...

    2017 6.7 PSD HPL 5w40 baseline sample (270 miles)

    I wonder why they didn’t use GC for fuel unless there was none measurable? Ignore comments about the lube, they labeled it wrong, same thing with the filter.

    Oil temperature towing

    Just thought I might pick your brains for some opinions. Running MC 10w30 in my ‘17 6.7 and towing up some mountains in NH towing my 11K lb TT I saw some higher than normal oil temps than I have seen using this truck/trailer combo. I attribute it to the length and pitch of the grade. Truck was...

    5.4 3V timing job

    This is our service truck. It has about 120K miles but 11,700 engine hours with lots of idle time. It has been ratting bad for a while on cold start and had the typical phaser knock at idle. However no DTCs. Everything is original. This engine really has not had anything done except plugs. It’s...
