We were treated to a great changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
It was done in "Silent Mode". No verbal orders given through the whole thing. It was very well done.

I had to come up with a new exercise program. Doing diddly-squats just wasn't enough.

This one is caffeine motivated.

Thanks Benny. Like they always say, Do the work outs you enjoy!". I am really enjoying this one.

Now then. 4 days ago, we pulled into our campsite and got all set up. I was enjoying a quick afternoon workout. We had been there a couple of hours, BOOM! Freaked me out! I thought it sounded like a blown tire! I shortened my workout and went around and thumped the tires. All were solid. Today I'm checking things out and I find a flat tire. Thought maybe a leaker. Hooked up the compressor and had the tire up to 65lbs. So I was listening for a leak couldn't hear any, so I got the tire off the ground to roll it over and found this!

I know these trailer tires are cheap and told the wife that when the first one blows, they all will be replaced. Well, these 6 year old tires lasted for over 4000 miles this trip.

I replaced them today .

We'll atleast you wasn't rolling down the road when it decided to go

It's wild thAt it popped like that but you couldn't hear a air leak

Good idea to change them all

Last trailer tire that blew on me was in a bad spot on a hill trailer was so heavy I bent the frame jacking it up I didn't want to take the trailer off the truck since it was on a hill and loaded heavy luckily I was close to home had the wife come get me to get it fixed

Be safe out there

Last night as we were pulling into the campground the truck was running. Like it wasn't getting fuel. We checked in and the truck acted pretty normal. I fueled about 80 miles back so might be bad fuel. Will change fuel filters today and change the oil, it's close to being needed.

No codes, no cel. Will also pull intake tube and check the turbo. If the filters show crap in fuel, any suggestions on where a person can get rid of diesel? I did not fill at the last station like I normally would. I have about half a tank.

I hope you got this sorted out sucks to deal with it when you at home let alone on the other side of the country


Where you guys at now maybe Google could point you somewhere to get rid of contaminated diesel fuel


I'm sure you did this already but just in case drain the water separator


Do you have a fuel press gauge on there?

Nope, no PSI gauge on her. Did a few things, got rid of one can, caught a ride to get fresh fuel without driving it. Sounds like it's running good now.I have put 100 miles on her since the work. Tomorrow will be the test. Moving to new location. I need to stop and get another set of fuel filters. Hard to get them delivered to where ever I'm going to be. Sadly, might have to bite the bullet and buy from Ford. Yuck.

Finally had some decent wifi to upload. Took a little trip to a few NASCAR Team Shops the other day.
