I loved mowing with mine, should of kept that one.

A crick is a one time, short duration ailment. A creek means you’re old and that is not going to get better. It’s either a stream or a river.

Did the wheel hub on the truck, and now doing maintenance on the ztr. 102 hours on it, so transmission filters and oil, along with new blades for the deck.

Don, I ordered from Amazon. $24 cheaper than Rock Auto, $85 cheaper than O’Reilly. Most of the reviews from the Amazon Timken hub report made in the USA, some say China and have pics as proof. I guess I roll the dice. Chris, I got lucky. Even luckier, I don’t need to drive it. After analyzing...

Last Sunday I used the truck to move a project from the shed to the garage and back. When I stopped on the gravel, the left front locked up. Jacked it up, looks like I need wheel hub. Tie rod end on the passenger side also looked suspect. Hub seems straightforward, not sure what the tie rod end...

Nothing but good so far.

Putting the snowblower away.

I’m calling winter snow blowing over. Put the loader on, palletized the snowblower and related parts, and stuffed it above the snow tires.

I put on 25,000 miles a year for work. With a car that gets 37-42 mpg. The insurance/licensing vs the fuel savings is significant. $1,200 a year more expensive to drive something that gets 20 mpg, vs 35 mpg; with all costs figured in except depreciation. The current mpg difference between my...

Last of snow tires are put away, everything is on the summer/all season program. On the plus side, all four vehicles have tire sets that are nearly new. I won’t have that expense for a while. The tires on my truck and my daughter’s car should last forever. I put 3,220 miles on my truck in the...

The factory tires on the ‘07-‘09 1500’s were a great highway tire. Goodyear ST-A’s. Wore like iron. Then they changed something in the next ones and they were nothing special. The wife and daughter’s summer tires are all Goodyears.

They pull in the mud better than Goodyear Duratracs. Found that out, along with the factory mudflaps on newer trucks suck.

That rips it, now you’ve jinxed us.

A Tekonsha P3 brake controller will show a fault if you charge your phone right next to it.

54 miles of highway travel this morning. Light rain, wet roads, 65-80 mph. No issues with traction, I could not get them to break loose. Noise is barely noticeable until I drove thru a couple of tunnels, then I noticed. Tire hum at 75 is about as loud as the 6.0. Quieter than I was expecting...

I’m driving it to work tomorrow, I’ll give it a whirl in the grease pit we call a parking area.

Hankook Dynapro AT3’s were another $14 per tire, with 5,000 miles more treadlife warranty. My FIL put Hankooks on his ‘07 1500, they ride like they belong on a grain truck.

New shoes today. Falken Wildpeak A/T3 W’s. I had highway tread tires on there before. I drive it so little, that I don’t mind a little noise and losing a 1/2-1 mpg. Went from from 245/75/16 to a 235/85/16. Little more bite in the snow. Since I changed size, I replaced all 5. When I replaced...

Bring back the 239 V8, Ford had something with that one. So smooth.... Y, not the L.

How much does a can of flex seal cost?
