Anyone ever have a Frantz filter leak?
The seals I bought about 4-5 at a time and keep a extra in the truck just in case. But I've never have a seal out right fail nor the can come loose. As for changing I've got to remove several revolutions of paper and then just using my hand pushing the paper into the can.

You got a good chance of catching me now being the truck has been parked for over 1 month now and continues to be parked. Diesel is still $4.069 and unleaded is now down to $3.129... Not even worth firing up the diesel any more.

In New Meadows, ID (Smokey Boulder weather tower) its +5*F this morning and here at the house its +16*F as I type this message. Not bad yet...

Stock Lift Pump/Fuse Question
I'm pretty sure the P0230 code will be thrown but the CEL light will not come on.

O...M...G!
Absolutely.... That's why you size up your scene before even attempting to enter or save a person. The person in this video is most likely long gone as well and the police officer had tunnel vision and ran for it. There is a web site Fire Fighter Close Calls which is exactly like the video above. All the dumb things that fire fighter do and get hurt or killed over.

O...M...G!
One of the things you got to do asset the scene before entering the scene. One of the golden rules of the extrication class I just took this summer. Another thing is the police officer made the mistake of rushing into a HazMat area without proper PPE (Personal Protection Gear) which should of been a SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) which most FD have on there trucks. Since no one is has the proper PPE you stay out of the HazMat zone. One of the few thing that annoys me to death out here is the police typically will respond to the call first then call us out. So sooner or later the wasted time of waiting is going to cost someone's life or the lack of PPE gear for people will cost a life. Yes I'm certified... http://www.linkedin.com/in/mopar1973man

High idle/3cyl high idle/MPG fooler unit
Auto Version? If you do the flash to enable the high idle its automatic by design. All the high idle mod does beyond that is give you control of when and where.

false temp readings
Might for the sake of testing dis connect the Ebrake signal wire for a short period. See if that is causing a issue.

3am Fire call...
Day in and day out I manage to scratch funds to together with odd jobs, and truck work to keep fuel in the rigs. Now you know exactly why I'm a MPG Guru and hunting for ever ounce of MPG I can get. Do you think I drive speed limit every where I go for SRRFD (Salmon River Rural FD) or personal business? Heck no... I drive with MPG in mind because in one day I can drive at least 200 miles easy without think doing work for SRRFD. If I make a mistake and forget something it might cost me dearly in fuel to go back and get it or it doesn't get done at all. Think about it every Tuesday I got to I got to leave early around 2-3pm for work at the FD. Now I hook up with Chief and we are cleaning, fixing, repairing, etc. Then after that leave the station and head into town and from 7pm till 9-10pm do more training in town. By the time I get done with the training and getting everything cleaned up with the Chief I get home by 11:30pm. Kelly and myself hold the most amount of volunteer hours in the entire dept.Dennis McCullom (Old Fire Chief), Myself, James Clark, Kelly Hinkley

Valid point. There is a lot of people that stand around with video camera recording all kinds of illegal and dumb acts. He's just as much to blame as the police officer talking on the phone.

3am Fire call...
The fire was over 45-48 miles from me. I still made it there and worked 12 hours. I just drove to Riggins, ID tonight again for more work on fire trucks and getting another truck back in quarters after being repaired. As for being reimbursed I don't see anything at all. Nothing... I get a very small bonus check every year for attending all meetings and calls. but never see any funds for fuel. Solely my responsibility. I cover from top of WhiteBird grade to the top of Smokey Boulder Grade which is roughly 63 miles of highway and then 5 miles on either side, then include all side roads the same way so roughly 630 square miles of highway. Here is roughly the highway coverage. http://goo.gl/maps/PcTqz Our response time is so slow I never had a call where we got to enter a building. I've done all the training for doing searches and crawling. We still do the training for it. But back to actual calls we do most like wildland grass fires and vehicle accidents.

He sure wasn't talking to the police station, doctor, ambulance driver, etc... I can it being a different light if he was on the phone getting a ambulance there, or other help but to stand on the phone and do nothing just gets me wound up. I'm a fire fighter and I'm under the same laws as that police officer and I would gladly give everything I got and take the risk of being sued. I'm sure police dept. has wonderful lawyers and attorneys to keep them them out of trouble.

3am Fire call...
Ahh... POV's yes. I've got the 02 setup with red lights and I do carry a radio. But the problem is in my area the radio signal it very weak and can't be heard. I got to travel at least about 5 miles to get out on my handheld where a truck radio is much more power. By the time I go 5 miles to get radio signal I'm 4 miles past my fire house. So I kept trucking for the next fire house with a engine I can get to which is about 25 miles away in Lucile, ID. As for the turn out I keep them in there bag in the bed of the truck. As for them being washed we do have turnout cleaner but I sure not going to put them in our washing machine. I've got to get time and take them into town or something. I normal take the outer shell and just use good old water and hose them down and let the dry. As for structure fires its extremely rare to go to them. 99% of our calls are wildland grass fires and vehicle accidents. 99.9% of vehicle accidents normal have no fire but we are on scene because of leaking fuels safety issue. So for the most part my turnouts are rather virgin yet to a real structure fire where you actually crawled into a burning building. 99% of all structure fires are typically already on the ground and a full loss. Personally myself only see one call where a small shop the saved. (I'm sure the had a few others but I wasn't there).

Update on wifes progress!
Any more news on the wifes progess...???@Hex0rz Both are excellent idea. I've got to use both on the extrication class and the seat belt cutter is nice but even a sharp multi-tool works good too. Which is something I always have on my belt. Glass punch can be made from a spring and 2 harden bolts.

Look out below.
Like today it started raining but the snow is coming by morning.

3am Fire call...

Stock Lift Pump/Fuse Question
There isn't a fuse for the stock lift pump. All you can do is unplug the pump. It will most likely toss a P0230 code though...
