    New place to burn a hole ina piston. No crack, just hole.

    That's definitely impressive. How many pulls do you have on those? What caused the valves to stop opening?

    I remember Kow saying he was hauling his FL over to Adam. Adam was going to build it into a hotshot truck and go to work for him if I remember correctly.

    Brake Flush

    You can speed up the process of trying to get the air out of the system by starting on the passenger side and compressing both of the calipers. Press the brake pedal several times until the caliper fully extends. repeat this 2-3 times, then bleed using the press brake pedal, open bleeder...

    2020 work truck fueling issue

    double check the filler hose. Uncle had a work truck for his company and they smashed the rubber fill tube between the service body and the frame. Truck would take fuel really slow. Yours may not be smashed, but kinked or twisted.

    Any issue with using a gravity feed auxiliary fuel tank on an LBZ?

    I ran an 18 gallon gravity feed siphon tank into the main tank on my 06 LBZ. I would fill the aux tank, then the main tank and then top off the aux tank while it was feeding the main tank by siphon. Once the main tank fill level got to the vent tube in the neck, I would then put on the main...

    Mike, How do I get in touch with you to order the cooler plug? I'll be home this weekend and plan on ordering on after the 4th if it will help the trans temps and does not harm it. Don't know how keeping one cooler would hurt, but with the tolerances of things built in today's era, they may...

    Mike, any opinion on the https://www.wcfab.com/i-31644280-2017-2019l5pduramax-transmission-cooler-thermostat-bypass-plug.html for the L5P? Towing the trans seems to say in the 180 F plus range. Wondering if this will help.

    Better watch that OAL. I think Texas is 60' for non commercial vehicles like that. I know a lot of states have restrictions on OAL for non commercial towing. Someone up north (Idaho or Montana possibly) does not allow double towing at all. State troopers sit at line and write tickets, make...

    New place to burn a hole ina piston. No crack, just hole.

    I think if you can find a good UT guy he can measure the depth with ultrasound. Check with Pat McRat he may have an option since he does CMM. Might be able to CMM Ultrasound them and see the profile of the oil passage.

    I think I remember seeing a stocker like that once before. Been a few years though.

    What did you do to your home/shop today?

    Instead of the Mini Split, they should have looked at some of the new roof top units. Much quieter and have built in soft starts on some models for the Inverters and Solar guys.

    The only way that pig roast gets better is if you are using it to BBQ some pork.

    Eek! What is this in my oil?

    Looking at those particles, it almost looks like your funnel was contaminated during one of your oil changes. I might be a bit protective, but I towel wipe out my funnel before and after use.

    Always a pleasure to hear you are still in the game Mike.

    What did you do at work today?

    Dozer, about the most dirt work you will find in SE texas is probably road construction right now. Houston to TexArkana is huge highway project. Outside of that, timber companies fixing really really screwed up logging roads. Now that could be fun and might require that winch to get you out...

    New 5th wheel

    That's a good slider, I have a different auto one. Watch when you set it up that the king pin is over the rear axle or slightly forward because it will pull load off the steering axle (min is currently setup incorrectly by the dealer who sold it to me). Find the manual, read what to lubricate...

    Anyone “overland” ?

    Love the setup. It would be hard to camp like that, even thought I would probably love it, she needs full bathroom, running water, etc. Love the full extension drawers. I think you could save weight if you used some tubing and thinner plywood vs those 2x. They are probably way more expensive...
