Bruce made those cars look pretty!

He did an express detail on the vette. I'll be honest with you $125 for him to make it look like that. It's not even worth my time to attempt to do it at this point. I'll keep some quick/speed detail spray and microfiber clothes but the rest of the outside car cleaning stuff I'll probably sell.
switched my mower from bagger to a mulch setup, did the front and a reasonable chunk of the back
changed my wife's oil and confirmed just how MUCH i hate oil filters that screw in from the bottom. one of these days i'll find a way to not make a mess with them.
then i saw my oil catch pan/can split at the seam and make a small mess... fortunately i keep cardboard boxes in the garage for just that reason.
redeemed the afternoon by firing 50rds through a new-to-me 22 pistol.
I have one of the cheaper plastic ones I got from amazon and it sucked. The surface maxx attachment was hard to stomach at $150 but it absolutely saved me in aggravation and in time.He does an amazing job. The amount of gloss he gets on the car is stunning.
How did the Surface Maxx pressure washer attachment do on your driveway? I was looking at those at Lowes but didn't know how well it worked. The cheaper plastic ones are ok but not great.
None yet. I've got everything in, but made no progress on the RV. I really should get off my ass and work on it right now but it was a busy day and my back is still weak after hurting it a couple weeks back...
If you are going under the valve cover might as well replace the gasket/wiring harness.Sold my 2017 F250 Platinum 4wd Diesel and bought a pos 01 7.3 f350 2wd dually.....well it’s not really a pos but in comparison......(Yes I’m being spiteful). It’s only got 140k so there plenty of life left in the drivetrain. Serviced the engine with 2 quarts of HotShot secrets Stiction eliminator and 13 was of Schaeffer’s 9000 synthetic oil. Antifreeze was dark so I flushed it with 2 quarts of motor craft vc9 flush and dumped the system about 5 times till it drained crystal clear. Left water in it for the drive home and to work tmw to see if any oil or fuel floats to the top. (Leaking injector cups/oil cooler o-rings) changed the fuel filter and ran out of time for the night. Much more to come as it seems I traded a truck payment for a repair payment....

I had to do the up pipes on a 7.3 I had. I went through international amd they had an updated version similar to the bellowed that the 6.0 has.I’ll take a look at them...seen plenty in the 400k range that didn’t leak. Usually only go bad when the glowplug terminals burn up on the 4 connectors. We stock all that. Went ahead and grabbed an ebpv delete (pedestal and outlet) along with new up-pipes because I hear a leak. Drivers manifold has a gasket so I doubt it’s there. The passenger side is still the factory machine fit seal so mayyyyyybe....uhg. The absolute only thing I like about the truck is how it rides. First dually in all my years. And no solid axle beating me to death up front. Wonder if the boss would notice our 1400hp drag trucks 7.3 motor missing......hmmmm
Great older truck. It happens.

It was the up pipes and baby's butt and seems like something else and was just like $20 more for that kit

Do you work on these diesels on the side?
Just tackling the neglect, and probably a 6.0 headlight swap. These stock lights are the dimmest I can remember having.
Hahahahahahahaha. I 2nd this.Only if tempted or forced.
Ahhhh. I have a 6.7 and need a passenger side exhaust manifold changedOnly if tempted or forced.
Or if you try to order at a drive through...........Favorite thing about older diesels is they sound like diesels, i get told all the time "i cant hear you over your truck" lol

same is often true for people in electric cars, so it's not the diesel engine, it's the quality of the drivethrough hardware...The person ordering in front of me has to holler their order
