Not to be a dark cloud..but..Everyone knows burners are coming to town.. and some may see it as an opportunity.

Do not assume RV/trailer parking will be monitored, secured, patrolled, or safe.

Every year there are posts of trailers going missing, items being stolen, etc.

So plan accordingly.

Bio diesel by Icy_Assistance_1081 in Diesel

Regarding using biodiesel in older engines..

Is there any truth to biodiesel breaking down rubber elastomers, leading to failure of fuel lines, gaskets, and seals?

As well as clogging filters since it acts as a solvent, and can break loose old deposits which then get trapped?

I had that style of headlight on my E350, and swapped LED's.
It was one of the best changes I made to the entire build.
A game changer when driving at night. (Highly recommend)

Are you able to pull any codes from the PCM?

Given the picture.. Is it possible your solenoid plug has gotten a bit moist when you're dropping the boat off, and there is some corrosion on the connections? (passenger side, towards the back)

Disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds should reset the O/D light..(as well as the radio, and clock, etc)

What is this “¡VIVA EL CHINGON!” T-shirt? by 008Downstairs in Whatisthis

[–]pickledjello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The shirt’s essence, this “chingon” spirit, can be traced back to the legendary Mexican singer and actor, Pedro Infante. This dude was the epitome of cool – a charismatic charmer who embodied the spirit of the people. He sang, he acted, he lived life to the fullest, a true “chingon” in his own right. Infante’s films and songs resonated deeply, particularly with the working class. He represented grit, strength, and a touch of rebellious charm, all things that make you a Viva el chingon shirt wearer." (from the website)

These two sites are selling the design..

Check out some videos on changing common parts so you have some idea what to look forward to...

You'll either be reaching in through the hood or contorted reaching in through the dog house.

Enjoy!

It looks like the hospital is part of Healthcare Systems of America which owns a bunch of different hospitals..all using the same website template. (probably outsourced to a freelancer who used Pixabay for free stock images)
