    Fall Arrest systems?

    Even with a lift you need a harness and a lanyard. Also keep in mind that if you do take a fall and have a harness on how are you going to rescue yourself. Plan that out. Suspension trauma sets in in just a few minutes and can kill as well as the fall. It just takes longer.

    Hay, small bales falling apart

    Re-bailed, cut too short, or left out too long and was too dry when it was bailed. Those would be my guesses. Greg F.

    2500HD VS 3500

    I bought a 2017 GMC 2500 HD extended cab (double cab) with the 6.0 LS gas engine. It came with 4:10 gears and the 6L90 trans and a locking rear differential. I don?t think the 4:56 gears are available anymore and I don?t think they put 3:70 gears in the HD?s. I don?t remember what the GVW is on...

    Gout

    Ive had it since I was in my 20?s. What works the best for me is a round of prednisone. Takes the swelling out fast and feels better the next day. Then getting on a maintenance drug like alapurinol will generally keep it under control.

    Xm radio question.

    I would buy a truck that has it already. It can?t cost much. I bought a ?work truck model? that had it. It also has a built in WiFi connection that I use almost every day. I also got the max towing package with it. What a great system. I can run up and down I70 from Denver to Utah and hardly...

    Anybody tried this kind of welding project?

    As mentioned Devcon works great. I?ve used it on a few cracked blocks and it holds the life of the engine. I have also used nickel rod on a stick welder with great results, and last but not least I have brazed them as well with equally good results. Weld or braze an inch or so and peen it and...

    Crazy people

    Wow. She didn?t scratch your trailer did she? A friend of mine bought a new Ford Crew Cab pickup several years back. He parked it out in a field he was running a combine in cutting corn. Got to the end and didn?t see his new black pickup sitting there in the dark and ran the head all the way...

    Pickup dilemma

    With only 132K on it I?m surprised it needs heads. The 360 is a pretty solid engine. They are not known for having head issues. Anyway, an intake set and heads isn?t too bad if the rest of the thing is good shape. You can do a cam change with some better heads and probably get the same...

    Satalite Internet? long story

    I have had Hughesnet for about four years. It?s hit and miss for streaming. Not all that great for what it costs to run. Unfortunately with no DSL or cable available it?s about the last choice we have other than maybe going with Directv and try their service to do it all. Everyone wants to...

    Buick 3800 stumbling

    I have had a few of those engines and I?m with the others. Plugs and wires time. I also like to clean the throttle body, MAF and if it has one clean the air idle motor. You won?t believe what all that does for those and how much better they run. It?s so gradual you don?t notice it. There is...

    Well it wasn?t quite that bad. I remembered my old user name and tried to restore it with a new password and it came up as already being used. I contacted Kim to rescue me and she couldn?t find it. Oh well. Greg F.

    oil stains on concrete

    Lots of good ideas below. One method I have used is to pour some sort of solvent like lacquer thinner or mineral spirits on it then give a good scrub with a brush and then while it is still wet put some floor dry or cat litter on it and let it soak it up. Works good most times. Take a look at...

    Hello everyone. I have been a faithful reader for many years and enjoy this site. I have not posed in a very long time and lost my original user name. I started a new one and look forward to being a part of the board again. Greg F.

    Electric golf cart charger

    Those chargers do require a minimum of charge before they will kick in. You can use a regular 6 volt charger and bring each one up some or 12 volt charger and bring them up in pairs a little so the ezgo charger will start up. If your charger is dead let me know. I have one I will make you a...
