Oh man, here we go with the vans again. TDG, are you familiar with that? Massive pain in the ass to transport welding gases in a van vs a pick up. Massive pain having to load and unload a welder. In a van vs pick up. Got a heavy trailer? Yeah you ain't pulling that in a 3500 sprinter or express van. Got long shit it can hang over the tail gate or roof with one strap, instead of a dangly ass string pinching the doors tight to hold your shit in place. Oh BTW veichles naturally have a negative interior air pressure. Meaning with the rear doors open the exaust fumes are getting pulled inside. Mmmmmm delicioso. You gona hand load a 6ft x 8" x 1" thick plate by hand in to your van? Or you know overhead lift with a crane or fork lift like the rest of the world. Tell me how comfortable it's to drive 8-10hrs in a van to a job site, ... I can go on and on on and on on why vans aren't the one and only choice for work vehicles.

Damn I'd try to drive it home too. I wouldn't want anyone to see the brown on my pants after a close encounter with Jesus like that.

Yeah she us thirsty alright, these 6.6l gassers punish you hard for having a heavy foot, even with the 10spd behind em. I had the choice of diesel or gas, but my last diesel was a shop queen, and with the price of diesel, there not much savings anymore. I like to keep the inside of the truck consistent, I only put it at low to cool the inside down quickly. Apart from that, the direct cold blowing on me bothers me too much.

Good idea, they can goon even harder now.

Mirrors and cameras to.

The last one was 2011 ram 3500, it had a nice deep square hole in the center console, the cup holders were on the passenger side so I used the hole more for drinks. And it definitely couldn't hold as much stuff. But on the plus side, it was just the right size and place for holding a bag of road snacks. A bag of cherries, grapes, chips, popcorn, Picards penuts, etc. On this new one, I have to reach forward a bit to grab a snack.

With great power comes great responsibility. My last truck I got 600,000km out of her, the break up was hard though. Going 110km/hr on highway. pulling a loaded trailer. Cylinder 1 connecting rod bearing failed heat siezed stalled, no brake assist or power steering. A bit of a pucker factor.

Thanks! I love it probably the best truck gm has made quiet, comfortable, sit up high. Great infotainment, you should see how much room I had left in the bed after the trip to costco! I'd recommend 10/10

Yes, absolutely. Am skilled trades and do a lot of work on commercial marine vessels, bulk carriers, barges, drill platforms, and tugs. I won't go into further detail as it might get too exciting. It's lemmy they get upset over the slight though of pickup trucks.

Fits 2 sticks of butter, cream, coffee, and chocolate chips in the center console. More updates later.

To soon for a live action re make. Kids are still obsessively watching the original still.

A Feruchemist more likely? Guess the metalmind was empty, or he taped it too much to fast.

Nah just run it once with out, then you just top up every other fill up no oil change needed

Amazon did me dirty with luna and rug pulled GOG from the library. I've been playing KCD2 for the past while I don't do much gaming. Life doesn't give me time so I only get a few hours a week. But still it was my one of few mental escapes. Regardless, I looked into other cloud gaming options and said fuck it and fuck them. I'm going to buy a pc. It's been years since I've kept up with what the hell is what . The most up-to-date I am is that I'm gona pay, pay enough to have to hide from the wife.

This seems like over kill for playing most games I'd do on ultra but I don't know. Plus it be nice to not lust over new titles that I may not be able to run like I did with my previous machine. (Laptop, i7 4700mq gt 740M) which i still use on the regular.

Almost all of my play will be done on a 60" plasma tv. Maybe at some point I'd play on a fancy 4k monitor but that's far away. Because I like sitting in my bed at night and playing with a controller.

It's been there for months now. It happend shortly after I painted the walls. I'm jot going to fix it because why. Kids will slam the door again anyways. Rather a hole in the wall than having to replace hinges or a door.

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
