Just excited enough about it to tell all you guys. They are calling for 3-8" depending on lake effect totals. I can't wait to play around a little bit in the silvy.

 

Throw up your snow fall totals if you get some Hoosiers. Sorry, just love snow. :uhoh:

Sounds like fun. We had an interesting evening. Right before 5pm, it snowed like crazy.. but only making the roads wet, then the sun went down and froze everything. Anywhere it was wet, was glass. There were several accidents on my way home. :uhoh:

Went out shopping this morning, came home hooked the hose up and rinsed the truck off. I am sure the neighbors think I am nuts. At least it got the fresh salt/sand mix off. Then did an oil change on freezing concrete. Next purchase is a small kerosene heater for the garage

We only got about 3 inches up here. Wind switched to NW and all the lake effect is still hammering LaPorte County. I'm pretty sad.

 

Ryan, that is a good looking lab. I want to save one from the county shelter here in a few months, that is when I found out how much the new job is going to pay. The rents wanted nothing to do with animals but now I'm on my own, for good. Time to get a buddy!

Well actually I am working in the same place, just got a promotion due to finally recieving my degree in December of this year. I am now upgraded to Engineering Dept Project Manager. We have a Project and Facility Management Dept but my father is the Dept head, so that is an obvious no go in the goverment sector.

 

I was/am, until January, part time during the semester, full time not in the semester Chief Field Inspector for our dept. I did erosion control and final certificate of occupancy inspections, and plans and specs review with some small job project management thrown in.

 

Now it is time for the big jobs. :D The haven't finalized my salary yet... but I do know I will have full benefits, vacation time, and A JOB. That is the biggest thing.

      Casey from the Texas Hill Country

      By Fish_truck · Posted

      Howdy! New to the forum of course! My name is Casey, just picked up a 2024 high country midnight edition. First “new” truck in 24 years for me. Driving a 1998 Z71 since 2002. Have been on the GMT400 forum with lots of good info and help there. Nervous about driving these newer trucks and all their electronics…. Did a lot of work on the Z71 myself over the years. New truck is definitely a nice upgrade after 24 years. Photo of the old and new, still keeping the Z71 - has 320,000 miles on her and still running well!

      We did 250 on our tractors until we switched to Amsoil. We doubled after that.

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋
