Yeah
78 or 80 just to get the humidity down.

It's not bad today but the crickets & cicadas are making me batty.

I am getting some hard rain now.

I went to NAPA yesterday and picked up 15 gals of Valvoline 5w-40 that was on sale.
Thanks for the heads up Miles.

Haha sounds like it, im probably going to pick up another oil change worth at the end of th month

There was some insane lightning like ive never seen on my drive home, and now some good thunder here at home. Downpouring the whole time

In other news, i thought i had "fixed" my hot start issue by taking a video of every start up, then it'd never do it!! lol, but i finally caught it today. Guessing its about time for an hpop, but my mechanic is gonna hook up IDS for me to determine that for sure. Im thinking of just doing just a stock HPOP, instead of spending twice the money on the Diesel site pump. what do you think andy?

It's FRIDAY!

Tom, I don't wish anyone to have to be in Waterbury by 06:00

We had some major thunder and lightning here last night.
Tina was all underfoot.
Looks like one more wall of green moving through before work.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Good morning guys.

Miles I don't know.
Have you checked the FICM voltage and the SCT fiting ?
If it is the HPOP I think a stocker would be fine unless you plan on going big on injectors someday.
