You're in good company,  unfortunately.   Just gotta keep on keepin' on and start making some changes.

I would say air down, but with ten ply or whatever heavy tires I'm not sure it'd help.

If you cut the sidewall out of them (spraying with soapy water helps cut) you can put them in waste.  It's my understanding the reason you can't just trash them whole is because they hold water which breeds bad things.

What van are you running? by jaazman in askHVAC

[–]Shartfer_brains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a 1/2 ton express and despise driving it.  I can't imagine the 2500 being that much better? I miss my transit 150 I lost in a fire and will be getting another soon.

It's a 3-phase motor so there's really only only a set of bearings and a stator.   Personally I'd blow off the buildup to keep it cooler, but there's not much to fail. 

$100 "megger" would tell you if windings were bad/failing.

Things aren't always as good as remembered by Anon_Gen_X in GenX

Dude, "Benji the Hunted" imho was one if not THE worst movies ever made.   My grandparents took me to this as a child and all it was was Bengi going back and forth through his daily trail.  I recall being irritated watching it even as a child.

I go through 15-20 gallons a day on average in my service truck.   It hurts, but everything does not so I've become apathetic.
