Is there a foolproof way to tell if I need a heater treater?
Just ran to Boise, ID as I type this this morning it's +10°F and helped quite a bit keeping the IAT above 80°F through most of my travels.

No low beams
Just remember headlight are backwards. Take notice the headlights are powered positive on the common contact of the bulb. Then the hi and lo are on the ground leg.

Just pull the carpet back and pull the blend door motor. Now you can see the the shaft coupler. You can manually move the blend door shaft. You don't need to worry I've done this for clients until the kit comes.

Client wanting me to look at a oil leak.
Yup its a small shop it is wood heated. That's a reason I wear scrub top shirts they normally don't stain.

New places to camp
Yup. I totally get it. Your cool and fine yet but I've been putting my foot down about the negative comments. Hi jack is over... Now find a place for to meet you in Oregon or Washington. I'll bring the hair and enjoy the camp fire and friends.

Just being honest there has been those negative comments before especially here locally which ended communication with some people around me and which im no longer friends.

I've got nothing to hide nor do I really care about negative comments being I know the truth. As for a hair cut I got one last month. Really short. Best part is I do my work as normal but when it time for fun... we get dressed and go have fun. The hair isn't permanent, it not dyed, and the make-up washes off. Back to business mode. As of the posting. @Honey Badger

Yesterday mine failed. I'll be looking into a heater treater kit too. Got too hot in the cab dialed it back to full cold and roasted out for few miles. Turn it off and on to control temp the about hour down the road it caught up again. Yup I need to get one.

Multifunction switch has failed. The contact wore out on the lo beam side.

Hard to be possible. First of I identify as a white male. Second off the hair thing falls in line with Emo Goth might look it up. Also... @Honey Badger and get dressed up together to go out on the town. So the whole transgender or g-a-y comments don't work because I'm still a male and have a girl friend... Heck @Honey Badger even goes as far as doing make up for me. Me personally, I enjoy raising hell and having a bit of fun. It my travels and being in dress I've gotten a lot of compliments on how I look. I'm 52 years old but who said I had to act like an old man? Yeah I went to Boise yesterday for eye exam, new contacts and glasses. Yup I was in full dress and make-up thanks again to @Honey Badger my girl friend for doing it. Contacts in and no glasses.

Yeah it will get a good washing before I start... The biggest problem is freezing weather and playing with water. This next week is going to be in the teens. Brrrrr....

Rear Trans Seal NV5600
All I can say I really hate Spicer U-joints being the trunnion center is beefy and requires torch to cut them out, being you can push far enough to get the caps out. Then ive got less than 2k miles and the rear most u-joint is already failing. I'm going to change out for NAPA greasable u-joint ditch these sealed Spicers at least I can keep a greasable for quite a long time. Yes I spent 630 dollar for a shop to rebuild my driveshaft, spun balanced, new Spicer u joints and carrier bearing. I'll never use sealed u-joints.

Client wanting me to look at a oil leak.
PITA. Last one I pulled out its was f-ing tight. The worse part is get all the radiator and intercooler out and then even with all that out squeeze the oil pan up over the frame and not slam the rocker arms and push rods into the cowl. Yeah I'll admit I got it out but bent 3 push rods doing it. I've learned a few more things since then so I think I could do it much faster and better without damaging stuff. One thing is that firewall mat is coming out.

Hello everyone...
I used to do quite a bit of video work with clients few years back and want to get back to doing that once again. Because I can see and hear things about the truck and point out solutions much easier than photos and/or text. I can get the member to show me different things right on the phone.

Yeah that if my batteries were ran dead by dang kids 2 different times and couldn't keep the furnace going. Once I get new batteries I'll be back to dry camping. But thank you for the full hook ups that trip.

Fuel pump replacement (in tank)
12V typically have a fuel basket with pick up tube and fuel sender for the gauge.

Client wanting me to look at a oil leak.
Should watch the video. It wasn't but one revolution during start up I heard the dead hole. Once it was running it was knocking on the dead hole which sounds like back at number 6. I could be wrong but it for sure got a dead hole.

Fuel pump replacement (in tank)
Might be challenging. 12V engines as far as I know never had a in tank fuel pump. This had to be retrofit deal.

Client wanting me to look at a oil leak.
Yes the truck is worth it but I'm sure the engine is going to be pulled and replaced. The owner said he has a source for a new engine. As for the cost I'm not totally sure as of yet but we will see. I'm pretty sure its number 6 cylinder is got bad rings or at the worst a melted piston. As you seen the TikTok above the blow by was strong. Considering the fact the closest machine shop that handles Cummins is all the way down in Nampa ID area. If he going to have a new engine sourced out then we will just swap and even the owner talked about later rebuilding the damaged engine and keeping it. Yeah it got for sure one cylinder blown. My guess is 6 in the way it behaves but we will find out in time when a engine swap occurs. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRQdt1Uv/ <- Watch the video...

Like I tried to tell you guy the stuff I end up working on is usually a huge mess. He's going to need a new engine to drop in and a new set of injectors. At this point the owner needs to get his finances together.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRQdt1Uv/ Client called and asked me to come out and look at a oil leak on 2006 Dodge Cummins. When I open the hood I knew already. Over 200k on the injectors and most likely wiped out number 6 piston. Watch the TikTok.
