Hey, that would be a good brand name GOT SOOT? Should have on back bumper, 'EPA Inspector' Ahhh such off topic silliness but it won't delete.

Is that why there's a NO SMOKIN sign on your tail pipe Mike?

I would stay with all the same size. I've purchased several deals on craigs list that will sell for more money now than before. Simply cause they were good deals originally and now are worth more. I store up good deals in my shop even when I don't need them cause they could not be passed on at the time. I finally got a screamin deal for matching spare rims on both my trucks. What got me hooked, was a set of e rated tires like new 90% left, mounted on Alcoa rims for $400 . That was too cool.

Not a lot of difference except some have less ash than others. How to tell is up to what you read on the bottle I guess. Our injection pumps were designed to run with higher lubricity diesel not the new ultra low sulpher fuels of today. It's missing the low scoring values because it has less lubricating value.

Lets see now........ which account should I pull that out of..... Mike needs a shop with a lift too. Hmmm. Might try the state lottery they're always giving away money.

Looking back on it now I would not have worried so much thru the rough times while raising my kids. God has a way of watching over families w/ children.

Only one solution to that.....Buy her a gift shop When she gets tired of something she can sell it.

OOPS! I deleted that last post you quoted Mike. Sheesh! Been running all directions lately. Econ is getting overheated again so watch out everyone.

I can fix that. How about heated concrete floor, r 38 ceiling, r 25 walls and heating that runs on used oil?

I knew that.... just trying to help spread a smile .

Thanks a lot Mike, makes me feel real good. At least you drove the point home, got it thru my concrete head.

Glad your back. You are going to find out how kids make Christmas a blast. We'd spend hundreds on toys but all 3 daughters loved simple balloons more.

Thanks to you both for the good info and glad you got it repaired

Interesting that in 400 k miles my first gen is on it's second rebuilt starter. Doing well. The auto parts guys told me the better rebuilders and know by how many get returned as compared to others. One rebuilder was getting an inordinate amount of returns at one time. It was called Ultima is their name.

Yep, you won't find me arguing that point Mike, as I've never seen such a surprise with my truck just sitting for weeks suddenly spewing PS fluid.

Looks like they got plenty of solder on top and not much in between the connection. Where is that resistor pack for the blower? Like to look over mine too.

I cannot get my last statement to go out of the quote box

Not really a fair statement. I was a mechanic at one of those "corporate repair shops" for years and I took a lot of pride in my work. I did everything in my power to make sure the customer left well informed and happy. Sorry you had a bad experience but you have to do your homework before letting someone under the hood.

Tim I know the best 2nd gen repair shop in the U.S. We can all meet up with our truck problems, camp out in his front yard on a river, sit around and drink beer till our trucks are all fixed up.

I know I married the right one she won't waste not even a penny

It was weird seeing that rather large area of oil, to suddenly show up like tha,t knowing I had not driven the truck for 3 weeks. I going to do the return line disconnect instead of my usual turkey baister flush. Might be part of the problem mixing with the old fluid that a baister never gets out.

Moms are always in the right

Cameras are a powerful tool. They don't lie.

I think it's that the PS fluid was old, about 7 years, probably foamed up and then on the first hot day we had it sat there three weeks without moving BTW, it simply expanded in the resovior. I'm hoping anyhow.

I like it I like it!
