mercer transportation

when i go home im getting one i've needed one so much lately lol. My goal is to buy things like a power tool's to remove my own tires and what not.

 

A big air compressor and gun would be nice, but a 3/4 inch breaker bar and 5 feet of pipe gets those tires of.

 

Google "Nut Buddy"

 

I had to replace the muffler on mine last week. $51 at KW, I came out of there with it on my shoulder, thanking the lord I don't have one of those DPF trucks.

 

Look into a walker or donaldson flow through muffler. They cost a little more but it's a big improvement in power and fuel economy. Those factory mufflers are very restrictive.

 

That's a cool tool.

 

As luck would have it, the fifth wheel is adjusted to the max, but a quick look on line and the rebuild kits are sub $250. Add in some cradle bushings and a steam cleaner rental and I might in for less than $400....we'll see.

 

I got a 12 ton bottle jack from harbor freight, but it's the low profile one... I think it was 30 or 40 bucks, fits into those tight spots where a standard one can't, and it fits nicely in the side box.

 

Well today i've been doing some work on the truck and trailer. Just looking over things and making sure shes Good to roll next week. Well i found some oil near my turbo where it hooks into the exhaust port.. Im reallying hoping thats for idling for about 30 hours lol...

 

30 hours of idling? I doubt my truck has idled 30 hours since the day I bought it. LOL. I do hope it's just from that tho. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
