CT June B/SThread

Apparently it's June already. Have a great day everyone. I've got more outdoor work to do but we keep finding more and more ticks and it just makes me want to stay inside.

Hey there everybody. Headed out to Lyman's Orchards this morning to get some glazed apple cider donuts, and then attempt to counteract that action by taking a nice walk along the Farmington River up near Canton/Burlington. Hopefully we won't find any of your ticks, Greg. Hope everybody enjoys this nice day outside!

This is what my family uses and have had great results. Their yard is backed up to watershed land and they always had ticks. The last 2 years they have been using tick be gone and I haven't seen any on us or the dogs

Good morning everyone.

Wife is in the OR now getting her gallbladder removed. Hope this solves her problems.

In other news the belt on my old Lincoln is squealing. It doesn't appear to be slipping on a pulley, and the belt is only a few thousand miles old. Gonna take a look at that sometime in the next couple of days. Good thing my DD doesn't have a belt!

Good morning guys.

Tom how is you wife doing ?

I replaced the water pump in my truck yesterday with one from BulletProof Diesel.
I also did a coolant flush and put on a new belt.

Good morning all.
Good to see everyone has a lot of energy.

Miles; just think if you had to help some one move with a Prius?

Tom; Hope that all goes well with your wife. Try some belt dressing on the belt.

Andy; I just got tired reading what you did. Question, does Bullet Proof Diesel put out a better water pump?

I think I'll mow the lawn today maybe.

Yes the Bulletproof is all billet aluminum and MUCH better than stock.
But it is also about 3 times the money.
If I was doing it I was going to do the best so hopefully I will not need to do it again.

It was not to bad just a lot of stuff to get out of the way to get to it.
I think on yours you will need to disconnect the tranny cooler linesto get the shroud out.
I just put the Zerex G05 back in.
I flushed it about 6 times and then added the new coolant.
I think if you stay up on it there is no need to go to the ELC.
