Dad just gave me these two bottles for my truck.. this company is having him use it in his equipment at work (tons of JD turf equipment and tractors) and his truck to see how he likes it. the bottle on the left treats like 80,000 gallons and the bottle on the right is 28.5 to 1 and has 32oz. Ill have to see if it makes any difference in performance or mileage, im hoping it will, but it was free so its fine if it doesnt

Afternoon guys, got the truck all set! Justin, thanks for the tip about the frozen driveshaft, I hit the fitting with some grease, then pulled on it with a huge prybar, and it moved in the rest of the way, both sides now match! Also took off the brake caliper on the driver side, put the wheel stud back in, then the caliper back on, and was real careful putting the wheel on, tightened down, all is well! I just have to bleed the brakes a bit more!

Kyle,

Where were you working out on FI?
The Castle at the extreme East End?

Did a bunch of work out there almost 20 years ago.
Beautiful spot, but windy ALL the time.

Jim, I know that we were on the private side, the little one lane dirt road that goes out east, this house is 4 floors, flat roofs, tennis court, pool, right on the water. We are going back sometime next week once the other crew tears down the chimney, hopefully they tear it down properly!
