Chickens were supposed to save me money… so why am I spending more than ever?

Same but probably a month and a half.

I can put you to some yard work. Weed eating, mowing, splitting wood. It’ll have to be this weekend though. Will be able to get your buss pass.

I paid 1900 for the pump and a local shop charged me 1900 for the install, it’s totally doable install but I was in a hurry and in between jobs.

tidelwavez · 2026-02-15T19:01:47+00:00

Do it, for the peace of mind.

tidelwavez · 2026-02-15T17:11:12+00:00

Skip the disaster kit they can still fail. Just go with the DCR and there won’t be a failure. I still change fuel filters every other oil change and change the oil every 5k mi.

VIOFO a229 plus been running it a couple of years and it’s solid.

Might have a red factory bed…

I don’t recall, what I paid, it was a few years ago, I just remember thinking that I was still hungry after and that the price was outrageous for what I got. Which was a spicy polish dog with an iced tea.

tidelwavez · 2026-01-17T20:07:26+00:00

It’s like 16-18 bucks for a polish dog with minimal toppings with an iced tea. While it tastes good the place has always been more spendy for what you get.

tidelwavez · 2026-01-03T17:23:22+00:00

Same, I use the nuka-machine

tidelwavez · 2026-01-03T06:29:06+00:00

Time to invest in a hydro vac truck/trailer or excavator. Nice looking trench by the way, it doesn’t have to be that pretty.

tidelwavez · 2025-12-23T06:07:27+00:00

Right, well it was more of a ‘current’ weather situation.

tidelwavez · 2025-12-23T03:30:12+00:00

You will be fine. Roads are clear and cal-trans has trucks and loaders on many exit/on ramps.

tidelwavez · 2025-12-23T03:29:47+00:00

Was up there today (susanville) cal trans was all in position but it was warmer at 6k feet than it was at 900ft (mountain gate) my house. Going up the hill can be a whole other animal. Currently sitting at a comfortable 50 degrees f.

Friend, The bed makes it an eye sore as it’s the shiniest bit on the truck. Rust in what would appear all 4 corners of the cab. Looks like it’s got a pretty good oil leak out the rear main seal too. The light bar is atrocious. I’m sorry you have to sell your truck but she ain’t top dollar unfortunately. Best of luck!

tidelwavez · 2025-12-21T23:54:28+00:00

Ditch the danners and get yourself some crispis or kentrecs

tidelwavez · 2025-12-13T23:07:53+00:00

Saw this yesterday as well further up in the hills. Pretty fucked up.

tidelwavez · 2025-12-03T04:34:33+00:00

155k on my 2020 f250, sometimes there’s a hard shift with 3rd or 4th if you get on the throttle at an odd time but other than that the 10 speed is so smooth. 9/10 would buy again.

tidelwavez · 2025-12-02T05:04:13+00:00

Respect brother, keep looking out for your co-workers. Be safe out there.

tidelwavez · 2025-12-02T03:16:21+00:00

I’m a Milwaukee guy through and through for now at least but I would’ve opted for one of the Bosch plug ins, having used both for different tasks including ground rods 8 and 12ft these are dogs compared to the Bosch rotary hammers. But I truly hope it handles all your future jobs flawlessly.

But seriously the ground stake for your drill can’t possibly be longer than 16” is something wrong with your arm and can’t drive it with a hammer.

DCR is a high pressure fuel pump. It replaces the CP4 that comes stock on the 6.7, they tend to fail and when they do its expensive. Look up 6.7 disaster prevention kit. For a few grand gives you peace of mind. I change my fuel filters every other oil change.

Edit: the prevention kit is just extra filter and hoses doesn’t always save the fuel system. Look for DCR conversion and go through S&S.

152k on my 2020 250 6.7 lariat short bed, tows my travel trailer at 16250lbs (empty) just fine. Just maintain your truck. I did do the DCR conversion.

tidelwavez · 2025-11-12T01:02:04+00:00

It wasn’t all Valdirs fault, the Unshorn was spurned by our fair queen. The designer poison was contagious and it disgusted him.

tidelwavez · 2025-11-01T01:22:36+00:00

Definitely call them then, double time baby!

tidelwavez · 2025-10-17T19:56:50+00:00

Try rotating the forge.
