  1. Lots of food. Not to worry. I'm bringing enough food for 4 dinners for 5 people plus breakfast burritos and some hot dogs on the grill for lunch. Let's not forget about desserts; I bring the pie and @JAG1brings the ice cream.
  2. You get what you pay for in this world, well most of the time. Look at it this way, I applied it once 17 months ago; with a cheaper product I might have had 6 "restore" treatments to have the same outcome. So, would you rather be applying a back to black product or doing something else with your irreplicable time.
  3. All my parts were off the truck when I did them but no, you don't need to tape anything off.
  4. Now you can call it an adventure vacation. I hope you brought enough for everyone.
  5. I vote for keeping as many teeth as posable. You have only 32 or 28 if the wisdom teeth have been removed. I'm 69 and have all my teeth even the wisdom which didn't make me any smarter. I see the dentist twice a year for checkups. The last checkup the x-ray showed a problem where a tooth root and bone met, and a root cannel was needed. So off to the endodontists for the root cannel. No pain and still have all my teeth.
  6. I used a product called Cerakote on the truck trim when I was putting it back together after the body work and paint. I applied it in January of 2021. This is what it looks like after exposure to the sun 17 months later. driver's doorhandle trim under driver's side window I told a friend about Cerakote and this was his email back to me after using it in April. He sent some pic of his truck after it was applied "Hi Dan, Forgot to tell you that the CeraKote I used on my Ranger gave stunning results. Some of my trim was turning pretty chalky white. It looks like I had it all resprayed black. Literally good as new. Thanks for the tip, and as always, “your check is in the mail”. John"
  7. Clean the area really well where the race would be pressed into the hub. If it looks like the race is pressed in, a thin line between the race and the hub, then try beating it out with a hammer and a long drift.
  8. Can you remove the bad race and find the numbers on it?
  9. Bring some guns. We'll be target shooting one day at the local range. NO AR15s or AK47s; they're to evil looking and not allowed here.
  10. They don't allow ATVs in the campground unless, and this is not written down, you are handicapped and have a handicap placard to prove it. An old friend of ours, who was handicapped, would bring his golf cart. This is from the Mono Village website Accommodations, Camp Sites, Campground Amenities "All 2, 3, & 4 wheel recreational vehicles are prohibited for personal use within Mono Village. Violators will be evicted with no refund." Years ago they had problems with some bad apples drunk and racing around the campground and a another time little kids were operating the smaller ATVs running in to things and getting hurt.
  11. That makes sense but I never saw that until a few, maybe 10, years ago. So, sell a little larger bucket that will hold 128 oz of paint plus the tint.
  12. Wow, the last place I saw one of those was in Ekalaka, MT about 4 years ago. May be their tanks are leaking. Need to report that. Haven't heard about that but Costco's Kirkland brand t-p use to be 425 sheets to a roll and are now 380 sheets, about an 11% reduction, and a cost of 32% more. Ice cream use to come in half gallon, 64 ounce, containers then a few years back Then they reduced the size to 56 ounces, 12.5%. Now the container is labeled 1.5 qt. That's 25% less but the price is the same. The house paint I buy (BEHR) use to be $11-12/ gal, now it's $19-21/ gal and have you noticed that the paint companies have redefined how many ounces there are in a gallon. They reduced the size from 128 ounces to 124 ounces, about 1%, and still call it a gallon. With that type of thinking automobile manufactures could reduce the length of a mile from 5280'. With a shorter mile they can claim greater fuel milage.
  13. May be they just want to water their fuel down so the profit margin is greater and/or they don't want to spend the money on a better tank. system.
  14. Those are the prices we've been paying since March. At least your gas prices are a dollar a gallon less than here. By the way Sams Food Store at 55 MAIN ST, Centerbrook, CT has diesel for $5.989/gal; better get it while it's cheap Let's go Brandon
  15. @Tractormanand you were doing a fine job discussing this issue. If I had injected may into this conversation that's about what it would be worth. Sometimes it's better to sit back, eat popcorn, and watch the show. That one of the great things about this forum: top notch info, help, and exchange of views without the trolls.
  16. The Russian Ministry of Peace tells the Ministry of Truth tells the proletariat. It's the same in China and what they would like to do here.
  17. Under the Department of Homeland Security, a new division was formed called the Disinformation Governance Board. This board is headed by Nina Jankowicz known for providing and promoting her own disinformation along with antifree speech rhetoric. In an NPR interview her replay was “I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities” when asked her opinion of Elon Musk buying Twitter. Can you say, "the fox watching the hen house". Ms. Jankowicz said on TikTok "One of the key reasons the Board was established, is to maintain the Dept’s commitment to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, & civil liberties.” Do you really believe that statement when it was revealed in 2013 that the Ohio office of the IRS was weaponized by Lois Lerner? Ms. Lerner had ordered a greater investigation on groups from the Tea Party movement. It's only a matter of time until someone in government turns the GDB on the citizens for the investigation of speech crimes. Ms. Jankowicz little TikTok karaoke performance says it all in her own words. https://nypost.com/2022/04/29/biden-disinfo-czar-nina-jankowicz-ripped-over-tiktok/ The Biden government wants to repress free speech under the guise of policing the information that may harm you in your daily life. They want to manipulate the information so only their truth is heard. Over the years the Progressives have worked hard to erode your 2ed amendment don't let them stifle your 1st amendment rights also. Do you own investigation on this new arm of the government before the information is expunged by the Ministry of Truth.
  18. Thanks for the update; now let's keep our fingers crossed that the gremlins stay gone.
  19. Good going! You should check your oil level now and in 100/200 miles to see if there is an increase due to a fuel leak in the head.
  20. Clean with brake cleaner then soap (Dawn) and water, let dry. Rattle can, mask off what you don't want painted. Pink or lavender are nice colors.
  21. Did you see this article/video by @pepsi71ocean? https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/59_fuel/injector-install-video-r16/
  22. This is what I have on the A post from the top down: exhaust temp, trans temp, fuel pressure, boost pressure.
  23. That works too. I can throw in some nice tender pig tongue also. Yummy, good!!
