What’s that saying about measuring and cutting!

I needed a 14ft but I couldn’t pass up the deal on this 12ft bed. It’s mounted temporarily to this truck because both of my 6.0’s are down (weird I know) and as luck would have it it’s hauling season on the farm and I need a truck. Maybe I can wedge my Lincoln SA300 in that space and make it my new service truck?!

6.4 Powerstroke not getting up to temperature? Well this could be the issue. The gaskets fall apart and keep the thermostats from closing.

Anyone know why they put these extra parts in the oil pan?!?! Seems like maybe there’s a better place for all that.

Anyone have a push rod straightener I can borrow? Little welding and some straightening and she’ll be good as new! At least I found all the pieces...

Fairly common issue on the Chrysler 3.5L engine. The roll pins break, which lets the rocker shaft rotate and slid, the oil holes no longer line up and the engine starts making a loud ticking noise.
215k miles on this one though! Replaced the rocker shafts and she’s running strong again. Pretty damn clean engine for having 215k on it.

Once in a while you need to drain the rust out of radiator!! LOL
I couldn’t believe how much junk came out of this Toyota Forklift cooling system.

We were able to split the Ranch Hand tractor and get a look at the clutch. Looks and smells, lol, like it got cooked! Now comes the challenge of finding some parts for this thing.

Weather getting cold and your vehicles battery might start letting you down. Bring your vehicle by for a winter inspection!

Nice foggy night for an EGR repair on a Freightliner Cascadia DD15
