    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I’m with Geico on my personal vehicles (5 vehicles) so we contacted them for the service van. $900 for 6 months, mandatory monitoring for a commercial policy. I was Not happy about being monitored but we went with it. Based on my driving habits they dropped it to $600 when it renewed.

    OIL PAN MODIFICATION FOR COLD WEATHER STARTING

    Easiest way to remember it for me is West Virginia...WVA...W=VA. Watts equals volts times amps. Generally you will be dividing watts by 120 to get the amp rating. People also need to be conscious of what else is on the circuit and extension cord length and gauge. Flipping houses I see the...

    Project Big Red

    I was actually driving home yesterday thinking how nice some super duty mirrors on those vent window mounts would be. Then I started thinking where would I mount the switch, how much the ordeal would cost and came back to reality! The driver side is what sucks the worst for me in regards to...

    Pinion nut / seal

    My pinion nut / seal has had a slight leak for a bit. (Sterling 10.25) I have now started to notice the 50 mph vibration so... I have the crush sleeve elimination kit from Russ and had always thought I could attack the seal from the yoke side. The more I google the more I am thinking I need to...
