It's not supposed to be crusty...

[Mikey P]

Fooking chimps..

They're only shortcoming
Maintenance..

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Its a generational thing....

Getting ones of their generation to even know where the dipstick is on an engine is a challenge.

That said, I know cleaning company owners who would murder you in cold blood to have Davis and Ely work for them. Two damn good young men, even if they do overlook stuff like the above pic.

 

[SamIam]

Did you see the dang wand?

 

[Mikey P]

Garbage powder coating ain't thier fault.

 

[Able 1]

Who powder coats a brass fitting?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Sorry we're so short on sympathy. I raised 5 men, at a cost of many such snafus and worse.

Smile!

 

[Old Coastie]

Is that an aluminum fitting?

 

[Mikey P]

Part of the bottom fill system on the AT Chem jug.


Been leaking for too long.

 

[Old Coastie]

The corrosion looks like it is aluminum. Next question; are the swaged lines or the tank it is screwed to the same metal, or dissimilar?

Brass on brass

 

[Able 1]

We need another beusage thread...

 

[Old Coastie]

Brass on brass

You are corroding brass like that?

I got nothing.

 

[Mikey P]

Not corrosion so much as rinse residue

 

[dealtimeman]

looks like deposits on deposits to me from leaking long time.

 

[Nomad74]

I stopped using flex for this reason. The stuff kills your QD's and fittings.

 

[Mikey P]

Flex Ice,?

 

[Desk Jockey]

They make more with their time cleaning.

Find a guy that likes to tinker and have him do your preventative maintenance. Let the boys do what they do best...make money CLEANING!

Should be SS anyways with the variety of rinses we use

It's only two trucks.

Five minutes a day is all it takes

Did it stop them from making money?
I'm with Richard on this one.

 

[Mikey P]

It?


No.

 

[Nomad74]

Flex Ice,?

Yes, Flex Ice and Flex Fire both. I have three jugs of Flex Fire left but am afraid to use them. I do like watermelon smell though.

Yeah but there are tons of old retired guys that would love to spend a couple of hours a week cleaning and maintaining the truck. Have him come do it on a Saturday AM or maybe he can be taught to restock, water and refuel the trucks???
He could even go over the actual truck, clean up the tools and the interior. Some of those guys have nothing else to do, let them buy into be being a surrogate dad and watching over your investment.

 

[Mikey P]

Tons?


Maybe in Kansas



They're all at gay pride parades or craft beer bars comparing ears studs out here...

Marty might need something to do.

 

[Desk Jockey]

So have them come and work on the trucks before the parade.

All the good lookin wimins in Cali and they would rather poke each other.

Fook, no wonder you moved!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Seriously every other retired guy wood works or works on lawnmowers out here. Easy to find an old goat with nothing to do.

That is your job pops, when you are not playing carpet cleaner in the mountains. Now you have two part time jobs.

I'm 300 miles away Lyman.


But I found a guy today...


No an old fart but extremely mechanical, knows his way around a rugwash pit and willing and able to help out on the truck too. Flexible hours were the deal maker.

Thanks for the idea Richard!
