I finally sold my wheels and tires. Now I just have to buy a lot of crap for the one ton swap.

Finally tracked down my intermittent turn signal failure. Turned out to be a dirty fuse cavity in the inside fuse box.

Also swapped in a back glass with defrost... the newer vehicles I've had for the past few years have spoiled me.

Did an engine flush with hydrolic fluid and diesel. Letting it air out tonight and tomorrow going to put in straight 30 weight with a quart of CD2, to see if I can't stop it from burning oil. Have to drive 100 miles at 35mph that ought to be fun

SAE30 in Wisconsin during winter?

Hope you've got a good battery and starter. You know once it gets up to temperature it'll burn just as easily as a multiweight right...?

Good to know. I have been wanting some for a while, and I went to HF today to get some work gloves, but the ones they had there didn't have the swiveling box ratchet end. They were 30 bucks IIRC. Had to go to Lowes for paint, and decided to go look, and just got them...90 bucks, though, but I know they're decent quality and their warranty is good, so why not?

I use em often..not everyday though. If your just using them for weekend knuckle busting they are excellent.. time will tell how long they hold up. Had mine for 8 months now.. still no issues

Yeah, these are home tools, not work tools...so I expect they'll be killer for what I want them to do. Only thing is, now I want the metric set, too. Next paycheck. LOL

Just running the straight 30 for 100 miles. That CD2 stuff is supposed to seal everything up so it won't burn it anymore, but have to put it in with thick oil so it doesn't burn out right away. I'll post the web page I'm following
