Getting fiber buried at the neighbor’s house today. Wife calls me at work to tell me the machine tipped over. I pull up our security camera and find that it caught the event.
I tried posting the video here but didn’t work so I put on youtube. Make sure you have the sound on.



and here is a pic the neighbor sent. That mini-ex didn’t even move it. It rolled just before 2pm today and is still laying on its side tonight.

Hood my beer:

With a 9640-pound curb weight and up to 1000 horsepower, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup

Crazy! A crew cab long bed 4x4 diesel truck only weighs 8,000 lbs.

Batteries in the dump truck finally gave up the ghost. Not mad at them though, 2012 and 2013 batteries.

All the same junk. Interstate pulled out of our shop for warranty’s. They were all gun ho while we were buying but once warranty’s started they never came back

I get my group 31's from the Pete dealership in gboro. They are usually around $85 out the door.

My wife needs one for her Pilot. What is a good brand nowadays?

 

[Shreddinlettuce]

Like all things interstate probably had “changes” beholden to their stockholders

Honestly - since they are all junk nowadays anyway - go to Walmart and get their Gold battery. Its a 3 year warranty.... but... if you take it back at 2.9 years and say, "this battery is bad" they'll just swap it for a new one. Then take that one back 2.9 years later....
my 4runner has a slow draw that keeps killing batteries bc I'm too dumb to disconnect it and too lazy to fix it. I'm on something like number 6 over probably the same # of years.

Anything made by East Penn mfg. are good batteries in my book. Napa, dura cell, deka there are several

What ever parts house is most convenient to you. East penn probably makes it. If you can get 3 years now you’re doing good. Walmart idea is good but who wants to go to Walmart lol . O’Reillys or whoever else will have your warranty under your number. I run O’Reilly in all my stuff but I’m there daily so it’s convenient

Electric fuel pump next to the tank in the front
New cooler cause the old one looked like someone tried to clean the fins with a hammer
Springs hold the collector to the header primary pipes.

This will go in place of the fuel pump and hold the ign coil.

I've got a cowboy hat that got messed up a while back. Saw a video the other day about reforming them over a pot of water on the stove and decided to give it a whirl. Turned out pretty good. Made a simple braided band. Then I found a guinea feather and thought, hmm how many folks have a guinea feather on their hat... Im not a huge cowboy hat guy, but I do enjoy wearing them time to time.

Then Ollie saw it and wanted to wear it.

Also. small but cool little addition: a throttle cable tube with a small roller for smoother throttle pedal.

Most folks seem to have the ignition coil mounted on the left side of the fan shroud. But your shroud doesn't seem to have the bolt holes.
My 1600 has a less fancy version of that mount now, I'm not a big fan bc it is really crowded by the mechanical fuel pump, we're moving it to the shroud. But w/ you pump elsewhere, why not.
My PO included an electric pump he never put on it, but I don't really see the point and really dig the convenience of being able to easily run it on a stand.
