    Jack the truck up and put a big pry bar under the wheel and try to lift it up. If there’s any movement before the suspension starts to compress then the ball joint is bad.

    I stopped buying lunch about a year ago because I was spending $250 per month. It was mostly at a general store with a deli, local burrito place, or a local sub shop since they're the three options close to work. Good food, but that's over half what I spend on groceries in a month. I pretty much only buy lunch now if I have a late meeting because it's also replacing dinner at that point.

    I don't do well with chain fast food either. My most recent experience just reinforced that. It had been 5+ years since either my fiancee or I had been to a chain fast food place, but we were driving back from somewhere late, our options were limited, and we were really hungry. So, we stopped at a Wendy's. I used to like their chicken sandwiches. It was nothing like what I remembered and I would have rather just gotten a bag of pretzels from a gas station. I can't remember what she got, but it looked really sad too. Dunks is the exception for us - I like their refresher drinks even though they're loaded with sugar, and sometimes get a breakfast sandwich.

    I use walmart "supertech" :notsure: heck, some people even say it's the best.

    (I use an OEM filter)

    Yes. Our trucks use 6.2QT, technically. I use a big jug and a mini jug (5+1) and the dip stick showed it was at a good level, so I haven't worried about it.

    It's me. I'm the dipstick.

    We do them right on boat, or at the dock like that..
    Cut the fillets, set each in a foil packet, with above mentioned ingredients( with variations for whomever), and cook them on a grill...

    Only thing I fry is pickles and jalapeños.

    it was my wife, which made it worse. But we were running around, grabbed dinner late, got home started eating, didn't turn on lots of lights until, I heard. "There is something Fing wrong with this chicken." Then we turned on more lights.

    But don't worry, they offered to give us a free meal next time we we went in. I still have not claimed the free meal.

    Still waiting on some DTP connectors for the headlight harness but it's mounted to factory locations and clears everything it needs to.

    I need to do a little modification to the winch solenoid box to run the controls for it cleanly, but before that I need some sliiiightly longer mounting screws for it so I can drill the backing plate in-place on the panel.

    Took a cue from you and cooked the fish together with some green bell pepper. Excellent.

    I'm paranoid about chicken being undercooked too, and sometimes I've been proven right. I picked steak at a wedding only for that reason recently. The steak came extremely rare, definitely pushing it even for me who usually doesn't worry at all about red meat. Someone at our table picked chicken and it didn't look far off from your picture - she did not eat it.
