Repair-It

I'll try to get some pics in the morning.

Hit a deer on the way home from picking Max up from the high school tonight.

I didn't see it until too late to completely brake. Max said he saw another deer ahead of it but figured I'd noticed. I hadn't. The second one I picked up too "close" to be able to stop. I think I was probably doing like ...

I think I'll call it the CTRL-Z mod?

I guess my thought was to find a comparable (maybe lower mileage) truck that the tuning shop was deleting to get all of the used OEM hardware as a kit. If they do a lot of deletes, it might be worth having them install if they're super familiar with all of the hardware and tuning. My suspicion is ...

Bought this log splitter in 2014 or so. I don't believe I've done anything significant to it until this year. One of my Electric Boat coworkers said he had to replace the hydraulic pump coupling when he borrowed it. I think I've changed the oil a couple times.

I left it out front for probably 2 ...

I seem to never document filter numbers, and odd applications like the skid steer are hard to match up:
- The engine oil filter is a Baldwin BT237 / Carquest 85459 / WIX 51459
- The hydraulic filter is a WIX 57052
- The fuel filter is a WIX 33166 / Perkins 26560017
- The air filters are Donaldson ...

I was on RockAuto ordering mainly thermostats for the pickup (seems very slow to warm up when it's cold out), wipers and stuff for most of the fleet, and somewhat on a whim decided to try a "Walker" brand MAF that was listed for the box truck. With the air tube it was like $58 and I had good luck ...

Yeah, not the actual $'s, but that's a big % different. Picked up and installed this morning and let it sit at 12 psi for 90 minutes to verify no leaks. Buttoned up, reinstalled the undershield (I dropped a socket and had to pull it to retrieve it). Back to all stock hose routing/connections ...

Warwick has it for $3 and change. List is $5 something. New London wants $7.
