    Another 'what tow rig' thread.

    PM me and let's chat about it Yes, has the 10 speed. Driving it home from Rock Springs via Bear Lake and Logan used 13.1 gallons for just about an even 300 miles, so nearly 23 MPG.

    Tow issues (hopefully) resolved. 2021 F250 Power Stroke. Now just need to make a plan for selling the problem child.

    Correct. Will be interesting to get the full check up once it gets here.

    Located it using the tour operator and guide I had back in May. They are also handling the shipping arrangements ($3,500 to LA). Actual form for import seem surprisingly simple, enough so to make me worry was missing something. Ended up deciding to use a customs agent to handle things...

    Land Use Alert Defund the Bureau of Land Management National Monument Planners

    Frustrating thing to me is that as much as the GOP complains about the abuses of the Antiquities Act (most of which are valid complaints), when they recently help House, Senate and presidency there was no efforts at reform. Seems like one of those things that is mostly used as a political...

    Did some drives yesterday (with 300 miles on the road to make it happen) plus has my brother do a first drive in a truck in Wyoming. Current top candidates: 2015 GMC 123K miles, leather, one area of paint flaked off with some surface rust. $37,500 2016 Ram, 147K miles, leather, some mild body...

    Can we talk dogs?

    Today was a reminder of the fun but risks of outdoor adventures with dogs. Treating one for a snake bite and had to do surgery on another that had a fish hook break off entirely under the skin!

    Diesel mechanic?

    Stays until codes are reset. First time with nothing else done ran great for 2 years. Interesting. Is a 2008 Duramax. Never found or did anything first time it happened and gave 2 years trouble free driving This time around all they came up with was replacing air and fuel filters. About 200...

    Another 'what tow rig' thread.

    Looking like our budget would put us looking for trucks mostly in the 2012-2016 range with 100-150K miles. Any major year to year changes in those years with the major truck companies (Ford, GM, Ram) that are worth paying extra attention to?

    Diesel mechanic?

    Tied into my tow rig thread, truck did the same thing again over Sardine Canyon while taking one of the horses to Wellsville. (Check engine light on, "engine power reduced" message, speed limited to 30-35). May want to give one last chance to solve the problem, knowing selling a vehicle with...

    Political So now what

    I agree that difference in opinions does not equal fear or hate. I clearly don't have the same political views as many here, doesn't mean I hate anyone. But the tone of many comments come across as hateful to the LGBTQ community (or at least individuals) and a fear of their influence...

    Political So now what

    It has been in the last few years that I have had a pretty significant change of views when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues. I have come to realize that I do not need to understand someone's life experience that is different than mine or have any really concept of the how and why they feel how they...

    Political So now what

    Absolutely have listened to the song. And in reality it wouldn't have raised anyone's attention if it hadn't been filmed in the location it had (site of lynching, which I agree those involved likely didn't know) while being a song about 'good ole boys' threatening violence actual lyrics...

    Political So now what

    What I find odd/frustrating/mildly entertaining is many of the same people who respond to a controversy over a country song with ' it is only a song, don't be a snowflake ' are the same ones have melt downs over a beer can they will likely never actually see in person.

    Another 'what tow rig' thread.

    The Duramax I had before this one would have to be bled and primed to restart after it ran hot on steep climbs a few times. I don't remember exactly how much fuel was in the tank each time, but know the drives we had ahead would have been minimal half tank. Both times kept running at a forced...

    See a lot of funky little mini vans in other countries. Think they could make fun daily drivers.
