Im having a hard time processing that the Tigers may actually make the playoffs this year. Who the hell could've seen that coming after the trade deadline?

Uncle mentioned AC was getting barely adequate in both these, generally we blow the cooling stacks out at the end of the season with 150-175psi air..
The drought has made everything extremely more dusty and it's a fine dust that gets through..

spent ~2hrs this morning pressure washing the cooling stack on the combine. Stack is rough 5*6 feet, had it at idle and you feel the air flow increase as I made my way through the stack
Semi is up next.
Added AC condenser and radiator on the semi..

This station is just one that I see while driving around with this price. The station I fill up is the best price with $4.15. I'm in Ventura county and the stations near me are $4.75-5.19.
Just came back from a fishing trip in Mammoth lakes and filled up for $4.09 in Bishop. Out in the middle of nowhere and it's cheaper.

Ok, I was just curious. I am in Orange County but pricing differs dependent on area.

We got rain yesterday for the first time in ages. Supposed to be T-storms this week, too. Fall may finally be here.

Good internet, look up school district to email their transportation head to report bad bus driver...
Watched one, personally, short change braking distance for multiple semi trucks in low light, wet, two lane road..
Yellow came on he was way to close to stop safely, driver quickly threw red, truck driver got stopped about the back end of the bus.🤦🏻‍♂️

Good way to cause a very bad day for a lot of people especially with winter coming

Is Dave's Auto Center really that bad to watch? I know he has a hard on for telling me to change my oil every 3k miles and there is no way he isn't sponsored by those speed of air pistons

I feel ya on those, At least the X9's come with reversers now. Saves a ton of time in the mornings. Its one hell of a noise when they do reverse tho, pretty cool.

He's a good parts changer is my short take, and has a wide experience of platforms as well.

I question 3k service intervals for oil changes on regular normal on road vehicles. Just like I question Cummins saying their new X15 can go 50k miles on an oil change I burn 2 gallons doing it, but it's a lease truck and under warranty

We've got a 9770, which 630 been head and 8 row corn is really kinda small for it, but that's biggest we can get away with on the avg terrain of our farms
I'm told we've been avg 5% beens🫣 when we're normally 13-15%

I wouldn’t trust Cummins intervals. Back when emmsions were new in 08/09 I remember having to spin a new oil filter on at 100 hours because they would plug with soot and loose oil pressure. At least they’ve gotten much better.

Yeah that was a mess then, I've been of the position once it hits "ADD" mark change oil.
But these are lease trucks and the company that leased them to us is in charge of maintenance..
Same company that spec'd the trucks to run 1900rpm at 75mph... So🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I'm just a lunch box local company driver😂

One thing on Dave.

His shop is pretty damn impressive to me
Definitely has a nice shop for sure, I've heard guys go OCD nuts about how clean it is.

Other hand... just because you and a clean shop doesn't mean I want them to do work for me..
Just because you can keep tools and space clean doesn't default you know how to build/rebuild something
