    After last post. Reconsidered and reviewed, now thinking he is going to apply lift on right line, pulling with both. Get a little weight off the sunken axle
    Help it climb back out.

    Local News. Ford is suspending orders for 2022 Maverick Pick ups. Thursday is the last day to place an order. Better hurry. I’m guessing it will be plagued with problems. Sounds like they’re having problems, or really pulling out the stops for a 2023 model. Typicality short production years are for a new model design, this time they’re just not ready. Fords hiring 2000 workers for EVs. GM just announced 4000 new hires 2000 near here for EV production and 2000 near Landing, making batteries. Hopefully all these new Jobs will help this area avoid a recession. I.E. keep my homes value from dropping. Otherwise I’m insulated from the ups and downs of the Auto Industry. Still amazes Me how fast things change. Always boom or bust.

    The cold brings out all the air leaks. Every year.

    I think Tidbit or okiedokie gave me the virus.

    First two days felt like someone beat me with a bat. Was like it attacked all the old injuries too.

    Last 3 days was just a wtf sore throat.

    Better now. Can't remember the last time I had a sore throat like that.

    I’m going to have to bite the bullet and change my wheel seal. It’s below freezing till next Tuesday. I’d hate to get shutdown for it. Fuel mileage is running at 4.54 mpg. No blow by. Rings should be sealed up by now @ 78k miles. This Truck burns over 1 gal per hour idling. Last one only .75 gal per hr. That’s the biggest problem. Only difference is injectors.
    Fuel gets higher, it’s going to really hurt. Current fuel cost is right at .74 cpm. 3640 miles at $2677.

    Must have been susceptible to contraction at freezing temp. Most leaks are in hot temps due to expansion.
    Had a radio, cold solder joint in winter, play good in summer when hot. Good it is isolated.
