    Bearing buddy-greasing intervals

    How often do you grease? Our horse trailer will sit for a couple months then go on a pretty long haul of 300+ miles one way. I usually inject 2-3 pumps of grease before we go. Too much? Concerned about seal blow out, but do not see any signs of that. Thoughts??

    Fly control for cattle

    Check out Just a Few Acres Farm on You Tube. He has a rub the cows pass under. Good results from it.

    Tuner GM 6.0 Gas

    Since you guys were very helpful in my decision to purchase the 2015 2500 in the attached picture, what tuner would you recommend for this truck? Looking for a little more power, nothing extreme. Been a great truck so far [emoji106]. 63k miles.

    Best wax/compound for truck scratches

    What is the best over the counter wax/compound and method for removing surface scratches from truck paint? It is black, so every little scratch shows [emoji23]

    Trailer weight/advice needed

    Thankfully the truck came equipped with factory electric brakes. They work well pulling our 3 horse bumper pull. This truck, power wise, reminds me of our 93 Chevy 1 ton we had on our family farm. It had a 454 with 4.11 gears (maybe 3.73, can’t remember). Pulled our stock trailer well, held 6-7...

    Trailer weight/advice needed

    We may have the opportunity to use the trailer in the attached picture- 3 horse with living quarters. We will pull it with our 2015 Chevy 2500 with the 6.0 gas and 4.11 gear. I attached a picture of the trailer, trailer tag and truck. Not sure what it weighs, hopefully one of you know. Too much...

    Why no Ecoboost in the F250?

    In my younger years, I worked as a mechanic on diesel power packs for vibratory sheet pile drivers. We had a mix in our fleet-Detroit, Deere, Cummins and Yanmar. In the 5 years I did this, we only had one catastrophic failure on a Cummins. I also owned an older Case bulldozer with a naturally...

    Why no Ecoboost in the F250?

    While I understand your humor, there are some reasons we don’t own one any longer: 1. Initial cost-the truck we bought fit our one income budget. Had the truck been a diesel with the low miles, it would have been north of 45k easily. 2. Necessity-while we do farm, it is on a smaller scale...
