My thoughts are they can't spell piece worth shite.

Unfortunately, not many technicians have good electrical troubleshooting skills. Even though I am a software engineer, I get called into the fab at work to troubleshoot the laser micro-machining tools. I used to be a microwave tech at a military contractor where I learned how to troubleshoot...

Reason 536 for why not to buy the boat...

I bet when you find the leak, there will be a 10mm socket laying in it :p

After surviving a head on collision at 65 in a 1994 Taurus, I won't go over 75 on the freeway because I know first hand what will likely happen in an accident.

They are Hankook Dynapro ATM's, just the LT version rather than the P version. My spare is the P version.

Mine came with LT265/65 R17 and the door sticker says to run them at 38 psi, which I do. I am actually pretty happy with them. I get good mileage, they are not too noisy, they work well in the snow and are wearing evenly.

Really sorry this happened to you and your rig. With all the red light running and passing on the right, it's a whole new game out there. I had a bad collision in 1994 in a new Taurus and it gave me PTSD for about three months. The car that hit me ricocheted off a small pickup in the center...

I wish I could see myself the way my truck sees me...

Lol, after feeling thankful he was OK, I immediately thought he should grab the topper and taillights off the truck.

I think you had it right with drugs. We are addicted to our trucks and spend all of our disposable income on them :p

I keep checking my fan hose and it looks like it's brand new. Why are some of us having them deteriorate so quickly? Sounds like you were extremely lucky not to damage the harness.

I have mine set to 85% in Forscan and it wouldn't charge beyond 12.55V even with my NOCO Genius5 charger directly connected to the battery terminals for 3 days. So in my case, it is likely a sick battery.

You can use a modern AGM battery charger like the CTEK or NOCO Genius5/10 for as long or as short as you need to at work. The important thing is to have enough charging current to well overcome the relatively high idle draw down rate of our trucks. Unfortunately my battery won't charge to over...

It looked like they attached the tow strap to a safety chain hanger instead of using a shackle hitch receiver? I doubt the chain hanger is rated for much of a pull.

Kinda looks like Tracy parked it!

Put it in D and press the a button on the shift to display the gears. See if it skips 2nd.

I found this thread very educational. 1. I learned that Grumpaw was a punk 2. I found a CD player for this guy:

Yours probably works better, mine was really loose and floppy (talking about the filter wrench here).

I have this (Harbor Freight version) and really hate it due to the location of the filter and how hard it is getting it to grab on. I switched to a Lisle 63600 which has spring tension to hold it on the filter.
