I install semi tires and as some of y’all have correctly pointed out, lifting them into a pickup bed is making me an old man fast. Only thing that hurts is my wrist, but same point I like the open utility trailers (specifically big Tex 60PI) for the versatility. I like to throw my **** in and...

My slide hammer disappeared today, so I’m wondering if I should get another one or get the duck bill hammer. I’ve heard the duck bill is better for breaking beads. Occasionally, I do pickup tires by hand (17”) and the bead requires a mega-beat down with the slide hammer. Dunno if a regular...

I need help registering my trailer. I have a bill of sale but the sticker with the Vin has worn off and I can’t find it anywhere. What could I do to get it registered in Texas? I was thinking about getting a parts trailer from a scrap yard or looking at marketplace for like a parts trailer...

Had to change a steer that kicked my ***. It’s a huge sidewall and a heavy truck in soft dirt. Steer was completely flat, so I used a stubby bottle Jack (10”height) and kept lifting it by the leaf springs, then putting heavy duty Jack stands under the leaves, until I could get the bottle Jack...

I turned down 2 customers today because I don't have a scanner. The first just wanted me to check for cleared codes on auction trucks and the second wanted me to look at Code SPN 94/FMI 4 on a Freightliner Cascadia. I read through the service bulletin, but turned down the call because I don't...

I know it’s a tuff ask, but have y’all seen any places offering a 3/8 cordless Milwaukee ratchet with battery for less than retail? Any stores having sales? While I’m here, are there any reasons to get the 1/4” drive? There doesn’t seem to be any more clearance with the 1/4”. One side...

I sold a project car and some of my gym equipment, so I am looking for my next business idea. I want to do pressure washing for semi trucks and residential. I would do commercial, if I can get accounts, but I still have to learn how to market myself. My mentor (he's had pressure washing...

I am not 100 percent sure this is ok to post here, but i received immense help last time I posted here. I asked what size compressor to get for my service truck, and y'all steered me into getting the better one. Good call- when I am on the side of the road, I do not want tools failing. At the...
