Interesting someone was saying how cheap it was to live in your area yesterday. Gas here is 2$ cheaper. How much are eggs? At least you have an excellent view.

LOL  Karnut I estimate we live at least  150 miles apart as the crow flies and he in a more highly demanded area. Mountains make everything farther away....LOL  I'm closer to poor old NM. 

 

BTW the rich Texans here leave about October and roll back in bright and early in late June.....the wives are an issue. Once they realize its 100 miles to Pueblo or 90 miles to Taos they stop coming up with their men.....LOL  

 

I have the perfect woman to help me. Now if only she'd lift those sand bags for the trail boss bed.....LOL

$4.70 in town. Usually 20 cents at least a gallon cheaper next town, 60 miles round trip away.

I paid $3.88 for E15 at Maverik in Alamosa where I have to go for VA care and get the truck washed generally twice a week.  City Market and Walmart are our attractions.

 

We are going to have a Mardi Gras party Monday at 1500 so all are invited.....chain up...LOL

Egss I don't remember the cost, just know they weren't cheap. 

Our costs for utilities have gone up for sure compared to city living. 

 

Living rural means traveling for basic needs. Worth it to us. 

 

 

 

 

I feel ya on that. I am VERY fortunate to have maybe one the lowest cost and most engaged electric CO-OP's in US. So my electric ( I am all electric with a Honda Gen backup) allows me VERY low electric costs.  Also I am super insulated in attic, spray foam in crawlspace, ETS heater driving 90% of my heat. Big Ass Hunter fan moving that warm air. Insulated curtains for double doors, etc.  Giant windows provide a breathtaking view but leak but I take that. 40-80 mph winds up here on the mesa on the side of the forest move most of my snow, LOL.

For a bit it jumped to $3.29 a gallon and now it's back to $2.97 at a few stations for 87 octane.

 

Diesel down to $3.61 today.

Hovering around $3, it goes up and down about .10 every couple weeks. Diesel around $4.50

$3.50 a gallon here. $4 for Diesel. $2.60 for E-85. So, diesel down a half buck and gas up twenty cents. Ethanol holding steady.

Has been hovering around 2.89 awhile. Suddenly up 10 cents this past week.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
