John - That's ridiculous. I'm glad you found the cap.
Your missing out on all the fun of changing oil on these bad boys.

Sent you a PM.

A great day today!

Took the truck for a longish drive about 20 miles from here to go to my daughter's softball games. They won one and lost one and the truck ran great. Good day for sure.

I hope all of you are having a great weekend so far. My upcoming week is a three and a half day week. I'll be off half a day Thursday and don't go back to work until Tuesday.

John, this one's for you....



I put new brake pads on the rear today and rotated my tires. When I removed the front left wheel I found a bird plastered inside the wheel! I smelled something funny for a few days and could not figure it out, the smell went away but now I know where it came from. When I rotate my tires I always wash the inside of the wheels.

I laughed and immediately thought of ya when I discovered this poor thing. What a ride it took.

Well, it finally happened to me as well!

I got off the plane at 9am Fri. after a 13-hour flight and a year gone, and drove directly to a Wal-Mart parking lot 5 miles away where my brand new F-350 with 6 mi. on the clock was waiting for me (just unloaded from the truck).

Man-O-Man!! What a beauty! I'm in the process of trying to get some miles on her for the "break-in" before I hook up the 48'er, 250 miles so far and counting.

Savage, that bird flew by the front of the truck while I was driving. I remember it being really close but thought it got by me. It's an odd one for sure.

Hey jet pilot. Don't forget that the def tank is usually not full when you get the truck. Have fun! I'm going to work on mine all day today, cleaning and stuff.

I just ordered a dozen bottles of the PM-22 from Diesel Filters Online. Saved about $3 per bottle instead of getting it from the dealer.
