Bed liners - Who said they were a bad thing?
If you bed is trashed to begin with a bed liner won't make it all better. I've seen them used to hide damage

...I never thought I would
One of the truck drivers I work with had a deer try to jump over his late model freight liner today. Hit the drivers side window and shattered it, showering the driver in glass. Had just a couple small cuts on his face is all. He was fortunate! Killed the deer. Didn't think to take a picture.

Neighbors 03 starts hard
Thanks guys. He's getting advice from a shop in town. He is probably replacing cheaper alternatives first. I'll let him know what you all think.

Neighbors 03 starts hard
My neighbor says the only way he can get his 03 cummins to start is with starting fluid. He has replaced a bunch of parts, he can't remember what all, but everything costs 2 or 3 hundred dollars, the last of which was the in tank pump. Nothing has helped. He says it runs great, just won't start, hot or cold doesn't matter. Any thoughts?

Cracked intake plenum eyelet
You can actually make a lock nut by just whacking the side of the nut with a hammer. May take a little practice so you don't smash it too far, if nut will easily spin onto bolt, then you need to give it a little more, if you can't get nut started onto bolt then you need a new nut.

Notes from the wilderness!!!
We have had good luck with squash in the garden but not much else. Poor soil and gets pretty chilly at night. My brother gave us some tomato and pepper sets last summer that my wife made sort of a plastic tent for. They did pretty well but really hard to make the plastic last.

???disc vs drum brakes
It would be my guess that discs are an option on otr trucks but old-school people will be hesitant to change until/unless they are proven safer, to last longer, are cheaper, or mandated by government. My $.02

Crazy MPGs
Couldn't some of the mpg gain when changing from stock injectors be attributed to the stockers being worn out?
