    I run it until the rods come out, you run when the rods come out. Two veryyyyy different things.

    So decided to put the winch on the tractor.
    Early but I need to try a new way to get the blower on AFTER this is installed.

    deciding to put lights on this or not.
    Only a 9 amp charging system and I need all I can get to charge while using the blower.

    Already costing my company $1500 for a rental truck for the next two weeks while they diagnose the chevy. If its something catastrophic theyll most likely scrap it at this point because I was due for my new 3/4 ton at 120k anyways. Its most likely something dumb af like a fouled plug. They dont pay me to work on the fleet vehicles (and we arent even allowed to) so it all falls under ‘not my problem’

    Tell them a tundra would be cheaper for them in the long run. Get that new boosted beast.

    Lol.
    The snow has gone to cement the past 5 years or so and I’ve bent the lift arm assemble like 3 times.
    Must be all those gym workouts.



    Then Again





    Maybe Not.







    so this was the most logical.
    After the final mow I’ll pull the deck and then install the wiring, then the blower.
    Not much room in that area so once the blower is on the hood stays closed.

    plausible

    also plausible
    hmmm...I'd check specs on a single row led bar ... my gut thinks they don't draw a lot ... but I'm probably wrong ... and go amber/yellow if you do ... so much better depth perception in snow. :notsure:

    no doubt ... just needs some pikes mounted ...

    Been telling them that for almost 7 years now but the overlording company ‘has a contract for fleet vehicles with Chevy and Ford only’. Whatevs, keep paying to fix em then.
