IMO, you get what you pay for. My thoughts on labor in HD diesel shops: PM / LOF / A-B-C service- fixed prices Brake work-$80-$100 HR Suspension/ Steering - $100-$110 HR, $80-100 diag Engine Diag- $120-$130 HR, $250 diag min Electrical Diag- $130-$150 HR, $250 diag min Same can be applied in regular automotive, just tweek the numbers.

We have a bunch at our Petebilt store off of Roberts road. If your interested swing by and ask to speak with Derek in parts.

Amazing story. Part of why I love Ford's.

What's it run to and from? None the less its toast and needs fixed.

93-octane vs. 87-octane (Car and Driver)
Dammit Charlie replied to zeitgeist57's topic in Passing Lane
Right? That damn thing is a rocketship. -
I had two friends who committed suicide. One was one meds, and shouldn't have had access to a firearm. The other got in a bad way with some people and felt the only way to separate himself from it was to eat a bullet. He was a great guy, just didn't know of his inner demons. Felt terrible for his wife and father. Nothing is worth hurting your loved ones like that.

What did you do for your ride today? (v3.0)

Cool color, I'd call it Papa Smurf. -
Agreed. The old LT1/4 stuff is a PITA.

Super crazy interview. Scares the hell out of me if the government has this tech.

I had to ship about 1500lbs of steel shelving a year and a half ago. We have a FedEx freight account, and they quoted me about $1,750. The company that was selling them to me said to ask for a special rate where the product is not insured at such a high rate. Turns out the first quote was for $100k worth of insurance. With about $10k of insurance on the delivery it only cost my $800.

Look out west. A good friend of mine just bought an 04 Vette FRC with a 416ci LS3 for 13k. 60k mile car, 6 spd. Second choice was a Z06 with 70k or 15k. The market is flooded with them in AZ

This. We have at any given time $40-80k wrapped up in cores at work. Any time I can push a product in to a coreless item, I do it. Turbos and injectors are my money maker. New Garrett, Holset or Borg Warner for 30% less then a remanfactured CAT, Cummins, Detroit or Navistar product.

Been there. I've been having to work on my reloading skills. They are taking WAAAAY to long. I can probably pickup 2-3 spots if I can get that time in half.
-
2019 UPSPSA book- Page 59, 10-2-4 "A competitor who fails to comply with a mandatory reload will incur one procedural penalty for each shot fired after the point where the reload was required until a reload is performed." Ouch. This is why I shoot IDPA.
-
I'm wincing just thinking about this. Breathing tube, whatever. But catheter? Yeeow
-
Seems excessive, but I'm confirming with my group. Some shoot USPSA. IDPA that'd be only one penalty.
-
Prayers for Anthony and his family. Please keep us informed. -Jake
-
I shot with a group that called themselves a defensive pistol club, but it was pretty much USPSA. I like the concept of USPSA, but prefer IDPA. A little more practical IMO.

I love my Shield. I thought about trying a P365 but decided to just trick out my Shield. Couple mag extensions and a bunch of Apex parts later, this Shield is a badass!

Dewine declares state of emergency over road conditions
Dammit Charlie replied to BIGGU's topic in Passing Lane
I disagree. This would only help those who work in big cities areas. Guys like me, who drive 30-40k a year in state would get screwed. Also a diesel only tax would likely push over the road transportation business out if the state. I think we need to look at the materials we are using in our infastructure and maintaining them. I use to sell the state their plow blades, and I can tell you that a 1-1/2" thick piece of forged steel dragging across a asphalt road isn't extending the life of our roads. -
Sale Pending

Thanks for the bump. It really is a great piece of glass for the $$.
