Replaced the AC condenser last evening as the previous one had sprung a leak, as it is starting to get quite warm out and AC would be nice to have. Now I just have to get the system recharged. The box containing the new condenser came out of O'Reilly's warehouse. It must of had an inch of dust on it. I don't imagine they sell too many of those...

Found out today that the front tank has been transferring fuel into the rear tank while I drive.

Stopped as the gas station on the way home today and the rear tank only took 19 gallons out of 38. Front, which I haven’t touched took 16.5 gallons. But I did average around 11 mpg when running about 65 mph on average.

My guess is that the sump I put it is letting fuel siphon into the rear tank from the front due to no check valve after the sump install. Can anyone somewhat confirm this?

The fuel tank selector valve is a common culprit for this.

It really doesn't have to do with my truck, and what really stinks is that I don't have a picture to share, but I saw a 94 extended cab dually turbo diesel today..........bum bum bum....... WITH THE FERRARI KIT!!!!! How many Ferrari kit duallys are left?

Edit. Washing all those bumps would suck!

Well today my truck developed a miss. Cracked injector lines one at a time, no change on #5 cylinder. It is a chuff with a click kind of miss, but is not a popping noise. I have been around an 83 with a bad lifter, it sounded like a Model B John Deere it popped so bad… so would my noise be injectors?

Well I did a thing. Anyone who's actually paid attention over the last few years won't be surprised. I drove to Broken Bow, NE and bought another three wheeler.

Put the tire equalizers back on yesterday. Checked all the trailer lug torque and pressures.

I want to move south at some point but I love the scenery in this area.

Lots of traffic jams and the GPS took me right through the middle of a festival to a closed road in Easton, PA (I think?)

Sent me down some overly narrow winding roads with the trailer.....

Then I found some hack in PA and decided to swipe his garbage LOL

Here’s a video of it working.
Those older 8ft plows are not light. Was on the F350 we loaded up. Why drag it around on a cherry picker when you have a winch?

Most of yesterday was hanging out. I was sent an extra motorcraft glow plug in an order. Put it on a battery because was curious what a good glow time was. Was around 8 seconds. That was interesting because that’s the same time I do it on manual control that the black truck likes.
