    When hauling a cab tractor, what's the chance a rock breaks a cab window?

    I've hauled my tractor from southern California to northern Idaho and back many times without worrying about rock chips; however my little car has a few on the hood from winter driving. I haul the tractor backwards because of weight distribution and our large 615R sprayer backwards to prevent...

    Interesting conversation with a Ram technician at dealer service dept.

    A friend of mine that works for Dodge/Ram said that the first generation of EcoDiesel had some problems and Dodge was stepping up and replacing them even out of warranty.

    Banking… how things have changed

    I switched from BofA years back to a small local bank. The small bank was bought out by a bigger bank and issues started to arise. The new bank was bought out by and even bigger bank and suddenly there was fees and issues all around. Switched over to a credit union and haven't had problems.

    Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

    130,000+ miles, and never had any problem other than a leaking radiator hose, and needed to replace tie rods. Oil change every 5,000 miles, and no aftermarket tune.

    Exposed Aggregate concrete help

    Bad poor. I would say the way to correct it would be to grind the surface.

    Always carry a valid spare tire and tools to change it.

    My trailer spare is usually in the bed of the truck so wouldn't be obvious that I have one. I also carry a ramp to help lift the blown tire. Seen to many trailers on the side of the road missing a tire.

    What's Your Favourite 2 Stroke Oil Mix Tool

    I bought a six pack of the little bottles when I bought my chainsaw. Once they were used I simply hold onto them until I get back to the shop and refill them for next use.

    rant on Oil changers

    Cars came with two years of included oil changes from the dealer. As soon as the two years was up I went back to using the Quick Lube three miles from the house. Service there is quicker than the dealer and I've never had any problems. Drive over the pit. The guy underneath pulls the plug and...

    Just saw a road crew running a box blade and had his loader as high as it would go.

    Show your fire extinguisher

    It's very good for fuel/oil fires and can be used with electrical too. Leaves a cool (very corrosive) purple powder if used.

    Rollover paranoia

    The problem with trying to come up with a warning alarm is that; the center of gravity, and thereby the tipping point, changes depending on implements installed, load in bucket, height of bucket, etc.

    Parking Lithium powered Equipment in the house or garage

    The "awareness" is more of a scare tactic. Use proper batteries and chargers and they will not catch fire. I've had lithium batteries parked in my garage for over 18 years now (4 different Prius, 1 Hybrid Civic, 1 Hybrid Lexus). Not to mention the power tools that have lithium. Oh yeah, there...

    How to stir peanut butter in 30 seconds.

    Take those same dry roasted peanuts, put them in a food processor. Blend until consistency you want. Maybe add more once smooth to get "crunchy".
