    Cap where the feed hose attaches, spray a lot of Berrymans Chemtool in it, add a small handful of pea gravel (or BBs, nuts, bolts), put the cap on and shake it until you can't lift it. Drain and shake out whatever you put in, spray in some more Chemtool to rinse it and it should be bright and shiny.

    I'm home every night. I basically live in my truck since we rented our house out. Lol. We stay with family when we go to our "home base." Lol

    Nope.... She don't want in the truck and I don't ask. It keeps peace in the family.

    I'm working on getting close to the way you work less and stay home more but the biggest obstacle for me is my wife. She can only take so much of me over a period of time. Lol.

    That does sound like a bit of exercise. I've never been harassed for being over axle on less than 1000 lbs as long as I'm under gross. Actually, the only time I got popped for any overweight was 1500 lbs over on the trailer with a load of road salt on in the hopper bottom on the cusp of a blizzard. Iowa isn't a very lenient state lol.

    Thats a lot of time and effort for 400 lbs. I'd have ate the ticket, IF the officer bothered to writer one for such a piddly amount.
