    So true... Ive spotted and headed off many, many problems before they got serious while doing simple routine maintenance on all sorts of equipment from lawn mowers to trucks to farm tractors of all sizes and everythimg in between.

    I hate loves with a passion . i usually only use them for fuel if theres nothing else around. But the ta had a 6 hour wait for a pm and there was nobody in line at loves. And i had to get it done today because it is not my truck. I knew it was a trap.

    Yeah, but I like the muted pop and crackle after I get it all dampened down even more.

    I cant believe how much of an improvement ive seen in this stove since installing the chimney liner... It burns cleaner, burns more completely, and drafts way better too.

    Just give that particular place all the "advertising' you can. Tell it like it was..
    Remember, a satisfied customer tells several people... A dissatisfied customer tell everyone he sees/meets and stresses the bad. Help them out, completely...

    Makes sense. They often don’t bother shutting mine off, just change them quick. I always shut it off. Can’t count how many times they’ve forgotten to open it up, Truck won’t start. Lol. Mine are overdue now. Tomorrow I’m changing oil filters and air filters. About ready for the 70k overhead to be ran. Bad leak in front, valve cover I guess. Might be diamond seal. If so, the Mechanic that inframed it will need to change it.

    As much as these corporations brag about hiring and training standards, a local manager only can pick from the kids playing in the sand box down the street. They gotta run with what they've got and most times they don't have very much.

    Your story was pretty tame. When I was in the Army I went to the Phillipines a few times and I know guys who got drunk enough that they did more than just look. It's been close to 30 years and whenever I talk to one of my room dogs I start out with "Hey dude, remember that guy in Manila, what was his name...Chantel?"

    I hear Thailand is even worse for that kind of thing. Your story will blow over, theirs won't.
