Rock auto is the best, half the cost of any local parts store for the bearings. I needed mine bad so I ordered through rock auto but also at auto zone and returned the ones I got from rock auto to auto zone lol

Lmao! I could have done that, but Autozone didn't have one in stock. It was about the same price as Rock Auto too. Summit wanted $175 which is crazy! I got an email from RA saying it was shipped already and to expect it tomorrow.

Rock Auto is the bomb!

 

Drove to Casper and back. Didn't do too bad, got 18.8 mpg round trip, and was plowing the wind for most of the way.

 

The 6.2 is a hoot :driving:

 

I get to use it for what I got it for on Thursday...hauling stuff :cool:

 

My driver's seat would shift forward when stopping. Thanks to this site, I fixed that!

 

Unfortunately, found that the chrome part of the front bumper is a little wacky, so I'll need to realign that. Shouldn't be too bad.

I did you get interrogated at the border checkpoint? I couldn't believe that when I saw it coming through on I-80 in '13. Like we were entering another country. They just made eye contact and waved us through ... but WTF!

You talking about the fruit Nazis? No, and on I 15 the check point is about 100 miles over the border. Was just waved through. Was asked one time why I was in commercial lanes. I have Company name and DOT lettering on side of the truck. Wished I would of said because this lane looks faster.

It isbt boarder patrol. It is Ag department. We need to make sure things coming in are clear of pests that will harm our fruit and veg production

Got a uhaul trailer to help my friend's gf move. Loaded that trailer up, we'll load the truck up early AM when he gets off duty. I also didn't feel like driving 10+ hours to MS with the truck shaking from out of balanced tires, so I got them balanced which means if I'm lucky 2 hours of balanced tires and 18+ with them not. Hopefully I can move later tonight when it cools down and at least clean the windows and headlights off. Think I hurt my back so who knows.

Ahh gotcha - was totally different from the one I saw on I-10, 16 years ago. That one was clearly labeled as an AG checkpoint. This one in I-80 looked just like a toll booth here on the East coast, only 10x bigger. Maybe I missed the sign.

Alot of factors are involved. Pay by mile. So miles are everything. Company I work for doesn't get the high mile loads it used to. And ery seldom payed miles back.

 

Electronic log books come into play Dec. 2017. I think its gonna be a very dangerous to be on the roadway. It's gonna force Truck drivers to drive tired and recklessly.

I hear most big OTR companies have been using those E-logs for a while now. No way to fudge the numbers on those ...

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
