I'm currently out in the garage doing an oil change on the hotrod and snapped a couple pics or these Gates heat shrink clampsView attachment 359350

Just ordered a new Dorman compressor for the autoride system, Amazon had it marked down to 129 from 563.. mine has sporadically been cutting on and off at weird times and yesterday recognized it didn’t cut on when loaded down in the back so went ahead and snagged one. Here’s the link if anyone needs one. Shipping is a little ways out so if you need one now I suggest going elsewhere but it’s a hell of a deal.

I have that one. Lifetime warranty. I recently replaced it after 5-6 years of use. It was getting loud and sounding sluggish. Highly recommend

I noticed today that I put in one more gallon of fuel than my truck said I used. Truck said I used about 9 and I put in 10. Just wanted to top it off.
Probably a fluke.

Been using remote start lately? I use about a gallon per tankful on remote starts and that fuel usage doesn't register on the DIC in mine.

Yes, daily. I have been for a few months now but just noticed on this tank. I will keep tabs on it.

They are called arbor-vitae or something like that. They are a shrub I think ( not a tree ) I live in PNW and they easily grow here ( the Evergreen state - hahaha )
I planted ( and yes DUG all the holes 10yrs ago and planted the row along the driveway. They were around 5' tall then and now 10 years later are around 12 feet tall.

Zero maintenance - they provide instant privacy and look nicer than a fence.

Deers love to nibble on them also. that is why at around the 3-4-5 foot mark they appear shaped funny.

pretty cheap around here. I bought them at around $30ea and planted myself

Thank you! The term "arborvitae" appears to be the key search word for what I want.

I don't get deer in my yard and low- or no maintenance is my goal. I'm just looking for something that looks like what you have to fill in some plain areas in front of the house and can be kept at ~10' or so to stay under the eaves.

I really wish I had thought about planting something like this as a fence. I built 10 years ago, so they'd be tall and solid by now. Even before today's lumber prices, they would've been much cheaper than a wooden fence.

Need to watch your vendor when buying Dorman parts, especially if you need warranty service; Dorman requires warranty to be done through the vendor. I got the runaround with a TCase encoder motor from one vendor but they were finally convinced to refund my money, as they didn't have a replacement. Stick with a known good vendor.

Awesome!

You think they'd work as well on a hose slipped over a pipe with no bead? I should probably just make a bead crimper.

Just please don't plant the creeping ground junipers. Those are nasty and a PITA to remove.

Had to look that up because I remembered I had "Juniper" somewhere on my list, but that was Spartan and Skyrocket. I won't be doing any type of ground cover like this because it'll be next to the house and we can't have anything that'll allow critters to hide in to ambush us. I'm actually wanting rocks for my ground cover. My back doesn't allow much ground-level yard maintenance.
