Same boat here. 30 for a high but wind chills keeping it feeling like teens. Outdoor work can wait. May get froggy and go hack at a few trees with a polesaw as I can get rid of it next weekend. That kind of work always keeps you warm.

Went shopping for the truck today. Picked up NAPA's last 7 gallons of CJ4 Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme 5w40 at $18.99 a gallon. Enough for my next two changes and on Ford's new approved list for the 6.7. Score...

Thanks Troy! But those aren't GY's on the 17. I guessed it would come with Michelin LTX AT2's like most of the 17's on 20's do and was right. So I traded the tires that came with it to my dealer and had them install the tires I brought them. Nokian Rotiiva AT Plus...

No, I just change the oil every 5k and forget it. As OCD as I am, I don't get into that type stuff for some reason. Don't keep track of mileage either. Just regular maintenance when I'm supposed to and drive em'...

Same here, I keep track of oil changes but I dont care about mileage,
when the gauge gets low I put more in the tank
as long as they dont stop selling fuel we'll be OK

Yeah Rodney, winter showed up here again the last two days but right now it is 58* but the little breeze makes it feel a little cooler than that.

I've got to read up on this FORscan you guys have been talking about. Bill was telling me about it when I we had dinner a couple of weeks ago. I would love the high beams with the fogs too. I would love to know what all can be done with it, plus how to use it as I've never even seen it.

Hopefully you can get some more work done on the truck Rodney as it never truly feels like "yours" until the mods are done

Wouldn't be the same without a good ol' boy in attendance. Since the last one you've got me saying "Now see? Youexactlyriiiight..." I'm ready for my next lesson.

IF I were to be able to make it, as it looks at this point, it may just be Trent and I and may not bring the camper. However, I'm still holding out hope something will change.
