Holy hell. We have the same truck and drive it weekly this time if year. Was used as a grain hauler for decades and now is on water truck duty. Never goes anywhere unloaded.

We have a 1972 c50 truck that is still driven several times a week. Only 96000 miles.

Yea I’m trying to decide what is more scary. No brakes or asymetric braking at highway speeds.

Most recent (maybe all) model gm vehicles have saved in the OBD2 system a reading for miles since dtc (check engine) cleared. So either it was a new malfunction that just happened randomly, the dealer has poor trade in inspection people, or they cleared the code. But either way, it was nice of them to fix it gratis.

Yes to Grady’s! Grew up down the road. The Grady family are good people too. In a county that swings heavily Republican and went overwhelmingly for Trump, everybody eats there and it’s only occasionally you hear somebody make a joke about the picture of Obama on the wall. And MOST if the time it’s with a smile from…

I don’t personally buy the low speed rated trailer tires, but I think you would be amazed at the amount of people price shopping that do. Most people are wholly ignorant of speed ratings period. But yes, the speed ratings issue is easily fixed.

Sure. Now go add a lift kit and oversize offroad tires and let me know what you get.

Not really. I’ve had both. About the same unless it is extremely hot and towing especially uphill. Then the boosted motor adds extra fuel to cool off and it really sucks it down.

Lol. We’ve ha d some old trucks that get 12 mpg loaded or unloaded.

I disagree. The majority of trailer tires are not rated over 55 mph. And the stopping time for a trailer and 1500 pickup is such that driving faster than about 65 loaded is not a great idea. Especially without proper weight distribution in the trailer, which car haulers are awful for.

Trichinosis hasnt been a problem for domestic pork in decades. Even the usda no longer recommends well done pork cooking because it is low risk. Still not eating it raw.

Also may need a new computer for assembly. And a software package for assembly, several are free. And the requisite knowledge to do the reaction and interpret the data. And some expensive reagents. And......

No it doesn’t. Most Chevy truck based vehicle share drivetrains. Same with Ford. So why would a suburban, Tahoe Yukon, and Silverado differ as much as 3% since they are largely the same drivetrain unless it is measuring something else.

This is truth.

Factory warranty on $300,000+ tractors isn’t worth quibbling over. One season and it’s toast

We have about 5 new Holland tractors of that vintage. One just like it. Good luck finding parts for some of them. Clutches, steering boxes, etc are getting scarce. Other parts are cheap and easy.

“See boss, given my lack of sex lately, I think I’m doing great”.

That one might take a few billion years.

My training is in evolutionary biology. Never say organisms can’t develop resistance to something. It almost always can and will happen with very few exceptions.

In a friend of mines either oral or prelim exam, can’t remember which, he was asked to describe the role of serendipity in science.
