I see. I don’t advise it either.
What are you working on today?
- Thread starter Amkeer
- Start date
Lawn work. Running the generator, tweaking the firewall. And drinking a Coors Light 
Lots of Generac dealers out here. Popular brand for sure.
I have friends that have them and swear by them I have owned a couple and haven't the best luck with Generac.
The one that gave me most trouble was a 7KW gasoline Rv type genset I put in a grooming van. It died at about 2K hours where I got about 5-7 out of a similar sized onan.
On the whole house genset I looked at the competing 20 KW version and it had much shorter valve lash inspection intervals first one being 25 hours.
Ive had good luck with Kohler products starting out as a kid with their snowmobile engines,
Two other guys in my area bought this same genset and are happy.
I'm putting a new rear upper control arm in a 06 Jeep Liberty. I test dove it and it is scary to drive right now. Give it some gas and it's headed for the ditch. Let up and it's heading for the center line.
OC on the Escape and Plugs on the Jeep.

Replacing the fuel filter on my dads truck.
Since 7am:
Now I'm going to pull an (easy) spark plug on the Outback and read it and see if I'm going to be replacing them. Photos soon in this Forum - but not this thread.

It's over 50deg here today in the wild northeast, so I've got to take advantage out the nice weather!

I’m doing an LOF on a friend’s Tundra. And painting his brother’s room.

My six year old Maytag dishwasher just quit working.... trying to figure what the matter is... possible door switch or control panel...

Rotated the tires and greased the universal joints on my Colorado.
Pulled the batteries out of all my OPE and put them on trickle chargers, today. I'm also going through the carb and doing fuel lines on an old Partner cutoff saw I pulled out of storage.
My todo list includes winterizing a couple of pressure washers and our 5th wheel.

Doing a fresh engine build. Adding a turbocharger to it.
North Star water softener stopped supplying softened water but was showing nor error codes. Could hear water going through venturi. Took the valve assembly apart and installed new seal kit. First time doing this. Back together and programmed to regenerate tonight. Hope Murphy wasn't looking over my shoulder. Happy Thanksgiving to all members everywhere.l
Check the lowers too. I'm an admin on a Liberty forum, and usually that dancing when on or off the gas is the rear lowers. There's a recall on them, worth seeing if they've been done.

This week I installed my winter tires and fluid filmed the Avalon. Winter tires were an absolute bear to do...wow, just a total struggle to get these things on the rims and blow them up.
This weekend I might try to replace the power window switch on my wife’s Mercedes ML350 (doesn’t look fun) and I need to change the oil and do a transmission service on it too (tranny doesn’t look all that fun either).

Thanks for the heads up. It turned out those had already been replaced due to rust! Yikes! Anyway, replacing the upper made all the squirrelies go away.
