    I keep forgetting to grease. I keep lying to myself saying I'll do it later. But later never happens. I'm running a 96 3406e.

    It's taken me a few years to dial it in, but I'll run a quick grease on the front end, then do the whole thing at 3,000, then driveline and rears at 6,000, and kinda cycle it like that. Learned the sound of when I've left it too long.

    A good hot water washer will easily put 50°C water out the tip. Melts grease and bugs off the truck.

    power America, we actually have both a 110 and 220 in the yard, 220 makes me kind of nervous on good paint though

    1. When needed
    2. Annual
    3. When needed.

    Clogging fuel filter is obvious, that's when I do the change. Water sep when full
