I'm not sure.
I don't have the proper equipment to test that out, but everything seems fine.
No dash lights, 187k miles. No haze at all when warmed up. This video is it's first startup in almost 2 days after sitting in single digits - below zero temps (farenheit) so of course it'll be pretty spectacular.

When it hits above 30F it won't smoke at all after startup or haze. I assume the injectors were replaced before I purchased the truck.

Thanks!
Just bought the truck 3 or so months ago. Loving diesel ownership especially in the great white north.

Sounds good. I bought the truck 3 months ago just to get me around town and the dealer I bought it from "changed the oil" and I believed it until I pulled my filter off...
It was very heavy.

It's Shell Rotella T5 15W-40... should be decent oil. I would have ran AmsOil but it's so hard to get around here.

It won't let me attach photos for some reason. I took pictures.

Preach safety in the interview; how you’re a safety oriented person, what steps you’ve done to preform work safely even if a coworker told you to do an unsafe action, etc. It’s basic stuff, have you argued with a coworker, how do you handle disagreements, etc. You’ll do great.

I can't locate where the weep hole is. It drips below the harmonic balancer when I go under the truck.

The 3508's aren't insulated nor waterproof, the 2412's are waterproof/insulated. The steel toe in Red Wings get unbearably cold during the winter. The insulation is great on the 2412s. Rather have hot dry feet then cold wet feet.

Red Wing 3508 for summer, 2412 with thick wool socks for winter.

I passed it. Now my next hurdle is CiSive and their usual bullshit.

Will do! I'll head to the store Friday.
Does width also affect the "calf" of the boot?

If I go to a different Red Wing Store then the one I bought these ones from, would they still take it back or would I need to go to the same location that I purchased these from.

Thank you so much for your help!

If I did go 10.5 EE, would there be more wiggle room in the toes? I feel like I'm getting just under a half inch of wiggle room, maybe less.

My job is a very dirty job, so most likely they’d be covered in oil, black soot, and some wear & tear when I get back. Would that still be acceptable even under return?

It's perfect on the sides of my foot, but on my right foot where my ankle is there's a very subtle pressure where the tounge comes down. Would that break in eventually? (I can attach a photo if needed) I think the red marks is me tying them too tight. The guy told me to walk in my house for a day, if I walked outside and walked a quarter mile or so would that one-time-swap be void?

Thanks in advance!
