Our work trucks run pretty much all day when its cold out
Granted, most are diesel, but minimal fuel consumption.
My truck has more idle hrs than drive hrs

Diesels that idle give me a ton of work

Why is this? Is idling not good for diesel engines?

Absolutely worst thing you can do especially with the new emissions systems... Hours are very critical. I don't know why people use miles for service intervals it means next to nothing. Hours is everything

I don't know much about diesel engines, other than it requires a whole different level of expertise to work on.

In regards to using miles as service intervals versus hours, does this also translate to gasoline engines, as well?

Yes.

Hours vs miles.

Hours are true. Miles are a guess.

If a cop car idles for a 8 hour shift yet covers 50 miles... What do you think comes first, 5000 miles or 200 hours.....

I get fleet service trucks with 3500 miles on the oil yet 650 hours of use. General rule is 200-250 hours on oil changes. Pending oil...

Personally I Send my oil to Blackstone labs to dial in my perfect useage.

It looks like it is sun faded. I'll bet it was pink. Probably a Jedi turd. No clue why a dog would want to play with that. Maybe give it to a racoon?

.20 a round is ridiculous...and that's the lowest price out there right now.

I recently consolidated and reorganized all my ammo, and smiled to myself, thinking how well off I was. Then it occurred to me that I can't afford to shoot any of it ... bummer. Then I remembered that I had several bulk boxes of .22 Remington Thunderturds and the like, saving it for a rainy day. Then I'm like all smiles again. This post probably belongs in the "First World Problems" thread.

p.s. Looked like a freakin blizzard up here in Schererville a few minutes ago.

I just found two boxes of Thunders that I apparently picked up at 14.99 a piece doing the same thing...made me a little sad...

They shut down the Gary job and sent us home at 11 before it hit. See if they cancel work for tomorrow, not to mention next week when hell freezes over
