Cool Name,.. we have a couple members in that area, but I believe both do their own.. Where in Clair are you?

One of our guys is in Lake station, the other just outside of Harrison

By the way, welcome to FTE!!

What year is your truck?

Hey thanks :)

Actually I am really close too Lake Station .... he probably has seen my truck. Kind of hard to miss lol

My Baby is a 03 ......


Yes hard to find a good Place for Oil changes for my Baby. Would do my own but dont want to get stuck with the Oil and Hubby dont have really Time to do it when its needed.

Hopefully William jumps on and give his .02, or even John, both are close to you.

I am in Gladwin....do my own....I burn my used oil so it does not go to waste...if needed I can get it done for you here...I even have 5-40 syn sitting here....I only go to the oil change places with my own oil/filter when I am in a pinch(or dont feel like crawling under the wifes Audi)

Talyn 01-15-2011 01:25 AM

Same here.
Change my own.

Diesels get ripped at oil change places.

Talyn 01-15-2011 01:25 AM

Pat, do you even know where lake station is?

Why yes, yes I do...I own a map, and can use this tool, pretty good I might add...can you see me pointing at my hand now..

Not_His_F250 01-15-2011 08:28 AM

lol at Map ..... are we even on a Map???

I still have Oil sitting in the Garage from 2 years ago....when Mike changed the Oil on the Car. He can change it when he gets home but I have no use for the Oil.
We went to the Truck place there in Gladwin, bought my Shocks from them and gave it a Oil change too. Then went too Schwaffers and they did a OK job but I am picky and they leaked oil allover my Truck. ( they had Problems getting the Filter off)

But anyway...... thought I would ask...

Lees Off Road?????please dont ever go there again....they are...lets say...hacks

if anything go to the Penzoil place in Gladwin...its like 20.00 if you bring your own stuff...plus they hit every grease zerk on the truck...good people there....I think they are about 50.00 for a change on Diesels w/rotella

Pat, Lake Station is not on the map.

=)
Cheers bro.

It is still on one or 2 road signs up here though.

Not_His_F250 01-16-2011 08:09 AM

Lee's thats the one...we only went there once and only because they had my Shocks I needed.
Can I ask why not to go there ? You can pm me and tell me..... :)

Begg to differ my friend, pull up the memebers map, you shall see..

ron86toy 01-16-2011 09:53 AM

I will post here..no big deal...I had them weld some spring perches on an axle housing for my Toyota...I was trying to get it ready for a trip and had a list way too long to get to it....had a friend pick it up for me(they charged me 150.00 IIRC)....the welds were absolutely horrible(my Step-son at 10yo at the time could lay a better bead) and they were about 1.5" off the measurement and about 1" off being centered on the axle....I ended up grinding them off and welding them myself during an all-nighter to get the truck ready. I have also heard many stories in town about there service being not up to par and over priced...this was about 5 yrs ago so it may have changed...but that was enough for me
I no longer go to Myers for Tires in Gladwin also...battery warranty and a prick of a manager

Not_His_F250 01-16-2011 10:56 AM

Wow, yes that would be enough for me not to go there again. Thanks for heads up.
We just had the Oil change done being we just picked up my Shocks, so figured might as well just change the Oil since were there .
But last oilchange was done with Swaffers who left a HUGE Mess of Oil allover the bottom of my truck..so I had lots of Oil on my Garage Floor, I thought I was leaking oil !!

We looked at Rims and Tires last night online lol......I could really get myself in Trouble :)
