The wet season...what weird vortex am I in just down the street from you?? We haven't had squat for rain and all the neighbors ponds are looking pretty low, if not empty.

I'm thinking of updating to a Jotul fireplace insert. I have a Fisher insert, and it will take a helluva long log and heats the house well, but it's a hungry stove... I'd like to lower my wood consuption some, plus I'd love to be able to see the fire like when it was just a fireplace. I have...

Interesting...I'm getting chipmunks and squirrels a little too close and personal with the vehicles. How did you set this stuff out to get them?

This was an interesting and timely decision on Ford as I'm in the middle of evaluating our first year EV pilot using two Lightning's :LOL: . I manage the fleet for a large water utility in Northern VA and our board wanted to test the viability of EVs. They did not take the recommendations...

Beautiful trucks, ya'll have. Always jealous of the higher trim level stuff. I look at the order guides for all the Ford trucks yearly, as I run the fleet for the local water utility, so it's my job to spec and order our trucks every year. But all we get is XL, have to be responsible with the...

Another vote for B&W. I just picked up an adjustable drop hitch from them for my new-to-me 2016 Duramax.

I don't think BAP's comment was directed at you....

FORScan is a pretty robust scan tool option. Since our fleet is 95% Ford, we have the Factory Ford IDS & FDRS, but if not, we would have set up something similar.

They are proud for sure!! We've switched from Whelen to SoundOff Signal on all our fleet lighting here. I've been very impressed with their products, support, and pricing! I feel they are still overkill for the tractor use 85% of us on here would need lights for, but they are another option.

I mounted two pods on my B2650 as shown. I used the pods because I had them from a Holley clearance sale from like 5 years ago. I mounted the switch on the outside of the right-hand storage bin. Out of the way and easy to wire. I also tied into the existing work light wiring for the power...

Thats good news! We have seen the horns themselves fail and or draw a large load. It does stink they are buried, if you can unplug them and just hook a test light to it and hit the button a handful of times, that may lead you to a wire vs horn problem. I just thought of this, it's also...

Ahh, well then that's some good detective work!! Failed horn relay or blown fuse are all possibilities!

I've changed many a clock spring in that generation truck. Failed horn & cruise operation is a classic symptom; airbag codes are also not always present for whatever reason. You can pop the airbag out and test the clock spring wiring, just don't probe or ohm any of the yellow wires/connectors.

Very smart. I had to run up 95 north of the Baltimore area last week for work; it was a miserable drive.

That's a heck of a trip!! I know exactly where you were in Zion Crossroads. We'll occasionally go down that way to get on 64 when we head to her parents' place in Powhatan. We avoid 95 like the plague between us and Richmond if we can help it. I also much prefer the "back roads" as there's...
