    Add a quart (or enough to dip tip), crank over to see free, then crank and idle a little while. You may be surprised, takes a little while sometimes to run plumb out...

    Mega carriers should not be allowed to travel with their spouses in big trucks.

    "Abject" poverty, worse than being in regular poverty.

    Investigate terms of checking... Stop engine on level, let set 15+ minutes, check and record/remember. Same way each time. You could have been good unlevel in FL and or bad unlevel here. Rested in FL, hot stop here
    More pore conclusions are reached by wildly random tests.
    I had a 1988/89 ISUZU 4 cyl pickup. Dealer salesman told me the day I picked up, pull the dipstick, it will be dry... Stick it back and pull again to get a reading. Thing was always that way and whoever has it is still running.

    Worst load... ever.
    I’m glad I didn’t have to get it out.
    Potash that looked like it been in a barge that’d sunk.
    Basically red wet dirt.
    Took 3 guys, one in the hopper with a stick, two others one on each side, hammering my hoppers, which I didn’t like, but had to get it out.
    The industrial shaker box wouldn’t budge that stuff.
    I’m going to DH home, I noticed some popping from the front end, sounds like the old FLD series, only heard it when loaded, I figure spring bushings, cause everything else is good and snug.

    Now are we supposed to rate someone we’ve never worked or hauled a load for? F89E453D-DCE9-477F-A33C-2B85515F3E5E.jpeg Those guys trying to get that stuff out were not happy.
