Is this dual tandem trailer for sale a scam?
I know this isn’t what we normally talk about but I put it in bullshit corner because of that :) Wondering if you guys think this trailer has been converted from a single axle to a dual? I am about to meet him tomorrow to buy, but he said it takes a 1 7/8 ball…. Red flag lol. That ball is only good for like 2000lbs and a dual tandem trailer is supposed to hold 7000lbs… Also noticed the V portion of the frame looks like it’s but welded to the frame for the deck, I would have thought a real dual tandem trailer would have the V portion running under the deck… but I’m new to this and don’t want to get scammed. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it :) https://www.facebook.com/share/19Q61j2fxs/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Business is not for the faint of heart
Well as you guys no the seat and guide is down. That’s only part of the story on the aug 7th we had an attempted bank hack on the business account. So we have had no access to the account till today. Good times. But on the bright side we move a bunch of shop stuff and the new seat and guide machine showed up today at 4pm. So the last few weeks have been just stupid. I am going to be glad when the shop is done and I am moved.

Banks air intake not so great
I bought this from dirty diesel to go with a new stealth STR turbo I had been saving up for. I ordered the dry filter and not the oiled one in which it was specifically stated the dry will filter more dirt. I have checked the intake twice after two road trips on dirt roads, both times, the intake was dusted… First time I thought it was the filter minder grommet, so I rtv’d it to insure a proper seal. Pulled it today and it was slightly dusted and it appears the dirt is coming from the filter dealing surface. There is a light light dusting that I can wipe away with my finger… so this time I have greased the sealing surface, and made sure the filter is fully seated in its groove, hopefully this is the last time this happens. I’ll pull it again in a week and if it’s dusted I’m going to show some pics, and hopefully people will avoid purchasing one because of it. I will also contact banks and see what they say. I really hope this works out cause I gained 1mpg and already spent considerable money on it. If anyone else has any advice post it up

@Robert Winkworth well hopefully someone finds this thread useful. If it’s not a paper element and it’s not oiled, it’s probably going to pass dust.

@Robert Winkworth right on. I have the oiled one on now, I’ll check it in a week after some dirt road driving and see how it holds up. I have a feeling it’s going to be just fine.
Shop cooling
If you have cooling in your shops for summer what do you use ?

Honestly a make up air that handles heat and air condition (all in one unit) is your best choice. You could put it on a pad beside the shop and take off ducting to the shop from there. I have seen a lot of shops use this configuration with ducting running up the wall and split to diffusers in the ceiling. In the summer it spits out ac and the cold air will fall to the floor. Depending on your R rating of the walls and your overall volume of the shop, a company can size it properly for you. You don’t want a unit to big or too small so it doesn’t short cycle or run too often etc. If you are interested I know a company that will size it right for you, I used to work there but don’t anymore. You could ask them for a quote, they do this thing all the time.

Well the move has started at least I’m the non-essential stuff coming from the shop. This is just one of the loads this weekend. Your 4500s put in the work in, but we still got some more work to do to it. She’s having an overheating problem.

What do you think is up with the overheating?

@Robert Winkworth heard aftermarket ones are hit and miss for quality. Any recommendations on brand for replacement? I’m sure mine will go at some point here
