    How do you deal with rest days? I know rest days are essential but I seem to have this thing in my head that tells me that unless I'm moving weight I'm not progressing.

    Rest days gives the muscles a chance to heal after they have been broke down. Lifting weights and working out when I was younger gave me a lot of energy, plus the ladies was always feeling my biceps. I enjoyed those days.

    Yeah I don't think we'll ever have an apu again. All the money we've spent on this one in the last 6 years, we could have bought a brand new generator every year for 15 years.

    You have the arctic package like we do. If your coolant temperature drops below 32° it will fire up so you're not cold starting your engine.

    Well I found out why I couldn’t get the plug out, it had some solid plastic debris in it and I had to do a little redneck ingenuity rofl

    @D.Tibbitt I didn’t ignore your question it’s just the shop was closed for the day last night and I only have half the plugs out as of now :D

    P.S. I just got all of them out, none of them really look bad, but there was one that was just a tad sandy around the threads

    That part that plugs into the coil pack, the one you have to unplug when you take a coil pack out; do those come with a new set of coil packs or do I have to buy them separately? I’m not sure if I should buy some new ones... none of them appear to be messed up as far as I know

    Ive been wanting to get rid of the apu and mount a honda or similar generator in its place. The generator seems more powerful and way cheaper to maintain.
