AK, I was going to until this delayed my commute by 1.5 hours



Which made me late to go pick up this bad boy too. Last night was a struggle, LOL. I got stuck in that same traffic twice..... and I'm really not too sure what the hold up was the second time. The first time was the roll over with a yard sale from hell (belongings from the truck all over the freeway). My original plan was to go Saturday instead, but now I've got the F150 staring at me saying "fix me". Guess it depends on if I decide to use the original style plugs, or wait for some SP432's. I really need to get it done ASAP though. Already tried wiggling the plug wires, etc. Same same.



BTW, that there Craftsman snow blower has a brand new carb on it. Was fogged for the summer. Has a new crankcase of Amsoil, and has electric start. Couldn't pass the deal up. It's a 6 speed with 2 speed reverse. The tires look new as well. Hardly any rust at all on it. It has a Tecumseh on it.... which seem to be the more popular motor on winter equipment around here. Not too sure why, but I will say the only Briggs motor I had on a snow blower seized on me.

I just next day'd some SP432's for far less than Autozone wants for them. Ridiculous pricing over there anymore!

Growing up used a push mower with a Briggs engine and it lasted 20 years. New mower with a Briggs engine can barely get past one year.

Wasn’t me on the eco guard oil filter... I don’t think I’ve used those before. I usually change mine with every oil change so 5k miles and yeah I would never go 30k miles on one oil filter

Figured out who it was... it was Blupupher. I got a couple for my little Yaris to try out. Probably going to cut one open first though.

Sorry for the confusion 2100.

And yeah, 30K on an oil filter is flat out nuts. Probably uses an orange filter too. LOL.

Damn Whitey. Now I understand. I also have one of those snowblowers. I may have to bring it out tomorrow if it keeps snowing tonight. We've finally got about an extra 2 inches today.

Check this out guys. This was last week when we got the first snow that didn't last.

Over here in SC if there is any snow everyone loses their minds. You would think we had a winter adaptation of Mad Max over here.

It doesn't have to be snow here, any precipitation whatsoever and it's mad max style with the 4x4's mostly in the ditches.
