    It's pretty much everywhere under my truck.

    Got any part of a name maybe?

    Oh lord. Thankfully that's not the final color.

    I tried calling the previous owner to also drum up some mechanical history maybe. Didn't think about calling the ready mix places around here.



    To be completely honest I have no idea what it is. It just looks like grout when I was flaking chunks off of the hvac box when I was working on that. Some of it also looks like the "dust" from an asphalt milling machine.

    I hear you, even better when the street signs have all been scapped. It's gotten so bad that what I do now is locate a nearby place of business on google maps and count the streets after to make the needed turn. Vermont is the worst. If the sign is actually there, so much the better...

    Muriatic acid is what they use to clean brick when they get that chalky look.

    Not sure I'd want to put it on a truck. I have used it on aluminum wheels diluted down to almost nothing. It's pretty nasty stuff straight....burn your lungs nasty. A quarter cup will straighten out the ph in a 15k gallon pool. I use to dump it in ponds to kill the alge.

    Last years sugaring season was probably the worst I've ever seen. We didn't even make a third of what we normally make, terrible season. Get your hands on some real syrup and make your own, real easy to do..

    Can't forget about the telephone poles right on the corners:mad: My dad and a bunch of other guys were taking 110ft beams somewhere around Princeton NJ. One of the guys asks how to get in there. "Just follow all the street signs that got knocked down" Lol

    @TripleSix 315 bench is in sight. I've been doing 3x2 at 295 for negative reps in full control. Hopefully another month or so of training and I'll be able to complete a full rep of 3 plates.
