~7MPG isn't bad at all, all things considered. Most roadgoing RVs at that size are pushing 8-10 MPG tops, so...

I keep bouncing back and forth if I wanna do that.. and I keep thinking it just adds complexity and is another point of failure. There's a few things an engine can run without but coolant isn't one of them.

A full truck greasing (including bearings) should use most of that tub.

Leaking as in not holding pressure when being used. Buy 35LB pail, it's a lot more cost effective.

I looked at those, but I want a 'buy once, cry once' tool. Lots of so-so reviews, or 'used for 2 tubes and it leaks now' kinda stuff..

Also, 35lbs of goo showed up... It matches the Milwaukee M18 grease gun that came earlier in the week. (Not mine, same thing)

I've been looking at reefers since I just re-priced insulation - and it looks like it's gonna be cheaper to BUY a reefer van body than it would be to insulate the body I have. Go figure. So, I was concerned about ventilation, since reefers are buttoned up pretty good. ChatGPT to the rescue..

I bought this one, err rather the previous model of that.. Does some basic stuff. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXGKCPN7

Waterproof Bluetooth speakers are like $30 .... or... $22... AND a 40% off coupon.. https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Portable-Bluetooth-LENRUE-Waterproof/dp/B09Y96HMY2

That's plasma cutter pricing right there.. :-p

Common issue. When I picked up my M1031, ALL the power steering pump bolts had worked loose and the pump itself was being held in by the belts alone. In terms of breaking bolts off, if it breaks off the block, not much you can really do other than weld it back on.

2 days ago had some nutjob going 100+ on the highway. Saw him coming up in my mirrors and knew he was going way too fast and couldn't stop. I KNEW he was gonna try and cut in between cars, with him not realizing that gaps change/close as cars move different speeds. He never even slowed down, and...

Interesting there's no 800 or 900 series on there...and there's no M44 series A2.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Entirely preventable.

Having owned a deuce with air/hydraulic, and 2 939s... I had an air line failure on my M939 series. It stopped. The deuce would not have. That was one of the main reasons I went back to an M939 from a deuce. I realized the money needed to retrofit for a backup solution like 2nd circuit, or...

The texture on the Marquee was all off compared to CARC, and as mentioned, it was significantly glossier. The e500 is exterior, which means it's supposed to be able to handle the elements, and the lower gloss factor may be interesting. Might be a good experiment.

Possible. The 4300 was well cured. The Ultra Plus and Marquee were tested after about a week.

SIGINT TO WIN IT. These provide excellent height advantage, and tons of tie points for guying, if need be. I miss the good ol' days where S250s were $300 and could be found everywhere.

Shows Ultra vs Marquee Trucks below are done in 4300 - M1031 had about 4 years on the paint, and the M1010 had close to 7 years, when the pics were taken. The second pic is the same M1010 in the first pic, but many years later. 4300 is ultra flat, and about the same texture as CARC. I found...
