    Interesting. I use my old one for my CNC plasma cutter table. Cleaned out the guts. Filled with desiccant. Bingo, free dryer.

    Temps will drop drastically tomorrow here-What type of engine heater do you use ?

    I've worked in WY and traveled extensively through MT. Very familiar. In fact, that is exactly where I plan to revisit. Of course Winter #1 is best for polar regions. Not available everywhere, but yeah. For my money, I will use the Hot Shot winterizer. I do like PS Dieselkeen for summer, but PS...

    I ran the thermometer along the flex tubing and it was in the 160's F at the block and 170's at the governor. Probably would go higher with warmer ambient temps and engine load.

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced?

    You are WAY off base here. If people are timid, so what? All of us can operate a hammer frankly. If people want to help others learning these machines, so what? This place is a mess of information, and it is mostly disorganized. If I make a easy to digest pictorial to help others reduce the risk...

    So we should jack up the back of the truck and watch for movement? I also note that it is recommended that the Ujoints have safety straps, but my search has come up empty. Would loctiite work?

    How many have had their driveshafts balanced? THE POLL

    I'd be curious about the how many have tube deadeners replaced or deleted, per Awesomeness's guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lO81iwFDxHaCD2QMAyim7YneaE2Sr3J58OUeQY-RjdU/edit#heading=h.tbqchn2sf8dy
