    I hate those ez lube hubs. There easy to get new grease in but there messy. I see you have same problem as me. That rubber cap wears out and grease slings all over the rim that's been pushed out the front

    Tru-Green quit coming to my area before last summer. So it's been 2 seasons since it's been treated. Still not to bad, but by next year, I'm gonna have to do something! Even if I do it myself!!! :)

    I was gonna say just spray some 2-4D on it. And apply weed and feed. I'm not a yard guy but know a tiny bit about killing weeds :)

    I got small golf ball tomatoes on my plants that are about 4ft tall right now. Our neighbors are about a week away from tomatoes.

    Just picked this up last thurs. 2013 chev 3/4 ton w/ a duramax. Pre-retirement vehicle for me. Of course I had to load it with 2 yr old dry splits, hardly squatted. The 1/2 ton dodge would have been looking into the sky in this shot.

    Can't go wrong with 17 mpg city and nearly 24 highway.

    Looks nice, the power quietness smoothness and economics of a duramax are hard to beat. I'd love to work the balls off a duramax.
    A duramax is in my future if the trailblazer ever dies, could never justify a new one. But finding a clean unmodified non ghetto, reasonably priced duramax is tricky round my parts.
    I joke with diesel friends that the little 4.2 I6 tb has towed more combined weight further than their trucks ever will.

    This is my 3rd diesel, 1st Duramax. I have also had a Cummins and a Powerstroke as well. I tell you the Dodge Cummins with a 6 sp stick will pull a house down, its a seriously awesome pulling engine. Power stroke made me cry when it decided to stall in the rain, it also didn't get great gas mileage either. So now I'm back in it with a Duramax. With this engine it was not the diesel that sold me, it was the Allison Transmission....I was told by many this tranny was 'bulletproof". we shall see...

    They are about as bulletproof as it gets for factory transmissions.
