WDYDT (What Did You Do Today)

[Bob Smith]

Glad you passed. Sorry you decided, with all your talents, you want to be a truck driver.

I’ll echo Bobs comment.
But I also understand a mans gotta do what he’s gotta do for the family.

Congrats Dave!

[Atkinsmatt]

Good job.

I can’t exactly say I decided to be a truck driver, means to an end at the moment.   

I do agree with you, I do wish I could have made it further into my engineering career, I simply couldn’t get on for what ever reason and I still refuse to work the sixty hours they desire from the job set.   

I’m gonna call it building my talents instead of taking and hiding them from the world.  I’m sure Don or Charles will come along with the scripture reference

Congrats Dave.

On our way through Utah and Montana, my buddy (professional trucker) giggled every time we saw a set of triples, especially with the wind we were driving in. Not allowed in northern Arizona.

How much over weight would this be on my 2007 duramax classic

14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14‭-‬16 ESV

OK,

Thought about it, this seems to fit...

Proverbs 23:4 says:

4Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.

Be wise enough to know when to quit

[Bigdave_185]

This is what I had in mind

So 16-18k loaded? A little much, no?
It will pull it but it might be a good time to put the air springs on that you keep avoiding. ;)

Oh I put them on last year, they have been great

You have a 2500, right Dave? What’s the pin weight? Air bags or not, probably over what the truck is rated for.

[TexasRedNeck]

Guessing loaded it would be 3000 pin weight

[Bigdave_185]

Not sure how to figure the pin weight I’ll message seller


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[rpar86]

Pin is usually 20-25% total weight

That is bigger than my 5th wheel. In my opinion too big for a 2500. But if you are only going short distance and you are careful its fine.

[Bob Smith]

Dave, that is a lot of Trailer for your 2500 single rear axle rig to pull around. Do you plan to take all the friends and their toys too?

[Farmer Jon]

Made the first leg of our trip and found oil all over. I believe I found the culprit. These are the dipstick and filler tubes. Must have rubbed a hole or it's pushing out the dipstick tube and running down.
Also, I forgot all my standard wrenches at home.

Didn't do it today, but buddy and myself are going to do surgery on this pine tomorrow at his ma's place.
Should be fun... might be rotted out.

[TexasRedNeck]

That’s more like a bush. Throw a rope in it and cut it at the base and pull it onto the driveway.

That's the plan

[Farmer Jon]

Made it to Pine Bluffs Wyoming. Spent the night at a distillery. If any of you are in this area I highly recommend it. I am not hard liquor guy but this vodka is top shelf. I don't even have a headache this morning. https://www.pinebluffsdistilling.com/

I know some of you were planning a trip later this month. It's well worth the stop.

thats a good stretch of a pull.  hopefully you got the oil leak fixed and did you drive thru what hit us about noon yesterday?

[Bigdave_185]

I’ll be helping my aunt with some gravel moving today, she is building boxes for a garden and we are building a walking path around the boxes I think lol

Borrowed this cute little trailer from the neighbor,  one yard for my dump truck seemed silly considering the fuel would cost more then the pea gravel

Had a hog slaughtered Monday and picked up 315 lbs of pork today.  Got a chunk of ham and some ribs on the smoker now.

We missed all of it. The oil leak persist but not getting worse. Oil level has not changed so that tells me it's a miniscule amount. I will take care of that when we get to Idaho. It just makes a big mess. Definitely need to hit the truck wash before we check in.

Tonight we are parking lot camping at Little America truck stop in Wyoming. We found a goofy corner with room to run the slides out without being in anyone's way.

Traded the LBZ on a 2020.

[Bigdave_185]

I dug a three foot hole and hit a well


Then I decided to see what was in the well with a five inch hole saw


Look there is water in it!!!

So might as well use the well since it’s on my land?

I’ll cut the top of the ten inch pipe off and put a irrigation cover on it.    And see if it becomes useful later in the “summer”

Lagged a couple pieces of gold to the garage ceiling and hung youngest daughters tj hardtop up out of the way for the summer. She bought a bikini top and a rain cover top for at night.

It cooled off last night so I went and started tinkering with my oil leak. I removed the clamps and cleaned the filler neck and dip stick tube with brake clean. No holes were obvious. About that time the gentleman parked next to us came over to see what I was doing. I showed him my mess. He stated that he also has a 60 series detroit and has had that same problem. He told me to pull the dipstick and clean it off then he disappeared for a few minutes. He returned with a new O ring for the dipstick. It fits very snug now. So today we will see what happens. He would not take any pay for the part. He said they are 75 cents. Go get a few and keep them in your tool box.

Ryan, shame on you.

Dave, plastic culvert laying on it's side could be a well?
Did you smell/taste it?

What are the chances of running into someone with that o-ring Jon. Awesome

[Nate]

Ryan, was that lbz a long bed?

[rpar86]

Yep. Both are.

Been feeling like I have an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other in regard to trading off the ol girl. Do it, don’t do it.

Wife is happy tho, that’s what really matters. It really was time. Will be much more comfortable for everyone, even me.

In a perfect world you could have both, but know how you feel.
I bet there's not another pic like the one you took.

Ryan, you will really like the features that truck has.

Ran some errands, cleaned the house, did dishes, vaccuumed and bought a Nest Learning Thermostat at Home Depot so I get to install that shortly.

I wish the gmc dealer had a long bed when i bought mine 

[KensAuto]

Nate, both long beds?

Moved lots of dirt this weekend at the ridge (pics).

Have a "braking vibration" on the Dmax. Was hit and miss but it reared its head this weekend. Bet the front rotors are shot, just 220k on the factory brakes!

Some reason I am locked out of email on cellphone. Came home to 180 mgs,,,,,,,,

[Bigdave_185]

That’s a amazing run on brakes

This thing that Ken started is only 130,000ish views from becoming our first million view thread

Does that mean Ken gets immunity against future firings?

Anyone?






















Answer: No ;-)

[Bob Smith]

Yes, and just because he is Ken

[TexasRedNeck]

Only if he finally confesses his love for H publicly
