I took the truck in for it’s 50,000 mile service last week. Actual mileage was 49,600. According to their checks, everything was just fine. My three year old battery showed as still having 73% of it’s life left — or rather, 475 cranking amps of it’s new rating of 650. … Continue reading →
I was puttering around, minding my own business. I trolled through my Bloglines feed and pulled up Tech’s 51313 Harbor Street. I’m behind on reading. I was out of town over the weekend, but in the back of my mind, I knew he’d written two new posts in the last … Continue reading →
