    I’m betting. Had the fire under it for hours, left the block heater plugged to a generator for a while. 30 seconds bout the best I could get out of her. Had a buddy with a landoll come grab her n bring her to a buddy’s shop to warm up b n get new filters. Grabbed my 1500 series n I’m headed for the house.

    You will never know how glad I am to know there are still people like you in this business. The kind to get up one more time than you are knocked down, the kind to stumble and fall then get up and dust yourself off and go again. I get so tired of these whining butt stains that wear those tight legged pants, wearing a pair of their sisters shoes, and gloves with the f....ing fingers cut out. Sincerely, good luck.

    Not yet. They never mentioned that the tires were rubbing the old fenders and I didn't catch it either so I'm making some modifications to the the ride height today. What they have seen so far they were satisfied with and it will be ready to roll by the end of the day.

    Nope, these don't move at all. Not worth the effort to break out a couple wrenches and undo the hose from the glad hand, since my APU heats the coolant it should be ok. Just have to wait on my wife to get off work to pick me up, which I don't like feeling dependent.

    And I've been informed by said wife we have business to attend to, so here I sit. Of course, somehow I've always ended up not minding waiting on her.

    X2!! Knowing your limits is accomplished by getting back up. Anyone can fall, but the tough ones get up and keep pushing forward. Proud of ya @ShooterK2 , yourself as well as @Ruthless @Logan76 and @stwik are to be admired by the so called “relics”.

    @ShooterK2 well you and me should be getting disability, or welfare something. Still haven't had appt for injection in neck. But I'm feeling so much better. I have only worked enough to keep direct customer happy. But its time to get back at it. Good luck on your maiden voyage and you need anything just ask.
