    When it’s waxing the filters are junk
    There’s a difference between clouding and waxing
    Once it starting waxing .. your F###ed

    kind of periodically testing rig health with various stress tests, 1DEC22 after a 13 hour break running the bunk heater with no tripac, oil at 14f and batteries at 12.1, battery drop to 10.8 on one slow full crank and DD13 popped right off like it does in the summer. 10W-30 Mobil Delvac Extreme FE synthetic yellow cap. this truck has full skirts tho, makes a big difference with keeping cab heat leeching out around fuel tanks and blocking wind.
