My credo
That one guy with ADHD and doesn't stop talking about cars.
Had a bad day yesterday. Battery went out cuz alternator killed it and then alternator went out so I had to replace it. Then today my tire got a nasty couple bulges so had to replace it today....so now I owe my grandfather like 300 dollars. Great...been doing yard work for barely enough to pay for a tank of gas so not looking forward to paying him back. But I'm happy to have a good tire and a truck that will actually crank over now.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Some days, life stinks. With a working truck, you can at least get to where you need to be. 👍

I poop in the furnace.
It was too hot to take the trash out so I started the truck, cranked the AC, went back inside and 15 minutes later drove the trash cans to the end of the driveway...

I'm doing my part for the environment how about you?

Cleaned the MAF.
Took a mouse nest out of the air cleaner - have no idea how it was running so good with that thing in there.

I left an International 7400 idling for hours today... the driver said the A/C stopped working after 4 hrs.

Yeah just glad I don't have worry about if I'm going to be able to drive to work anymore. Just keeping a positive mind set helps life go a little easier. Know some people I try telling that but they don't listen.:dntknw:
