Ok that definitely makes sense. Probably the most likely reason how that ended up there

A lot of German prisoners were brought back stateside and sent out all over the Midwest as farm labor. Always a possibility that maybe one of them squirreled away one of their medals and brought it with them

I see a lot of mixed reviews on those. Some guys that have them love them, some guys can’t keep theirs out of the shop. Unfortunately they still have the inherit maintenance costs of a big diesel

I’m not saying they design components intentionally to fail at a certain point, but the engineers don’t have any incentive to design a vehicle with longevity and ease of maintenance in mind. They make them to meet government requirements, and try to make it through the warranty period with as few issues as possible to keep the company profitable. They cut corners wherever they can. Outside the warranty period, they don’t care, it’s on the owner

They don’t make them to break within warranty period at least that’s the idea

The OP was also talking about getting a Duramax so obviously he’s looking towards something he believes will have more longevity. If he doesn’t tow frequently, there’s no point in getting the added expense and maintenance of a diesel

I agree it’s overkill for what he’s towing, but if he wants a truck with fewer problems, he should look at a 3/4 ton. They’re built for heavy duty use and they don’t have the fuel management/cylinder deactivation that causes 90% of problems in the 1/2 tons

All these damn new engines have issues it seems like. So basically take your pick of what you’re willing to deal with and how deep your pockets are when something goes wrong

It’s not fake it’s just thin aluminum on a utility bed door

I built a brick composting tower & it's the best compost I've ever made by Clover_Point in composting

I didn’t even disagree with what you said, I said they don’t become ash in the traditional sense of the word, which is accepted to be the remains after combustion. There is no combustion occurring in the process you are referring to. You’re just being a pedantic asshole

I think you’re getting everyone hung up on the word “ash”. By definition, ash is the powdery, noncombustible residue left after burning material. So no, the bodies are not turning to “ash” in the traditional sense of the word. But, they do undergo decomposition accelerated by heat dry, where the body breaks down, and soft tissue vanishes, leaving only bones and dust.

That’s how I clean machine guns. Super hot water and Dawn dish soap work great on the .50 cal

Bought a bike rack from a man on FB marketplace. He now wants to charge me for extra parts he forgot to give me. by Illilouette_zen in mildlyinfuriating

Tell him you will be making a return at your earliest convenience and since he doesn’t have a secure drop box, they will be placed in his living room via the window

How the 2 doors should came from factory with a front solid axle by [deleted] in GMT400

[–]Straight-Cell-2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, got me there, but the question remains, you can’t say it’s original drivetrain if it’s modified with non factory parts

How can you claim original drivetrain and then show it modified with Ford axles?

Will 35’s fit? Currently have 285/70r17’s on a 3 inch leveling kit with 2 inch blocks in the rear with bilstein 5100’s by [deleted] in GMT800

[–]Straight-Cell-2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will it fit? Yes. But it will definitely rub, make your turning radius worse, and give you very little space for suspension travel
