You done oil and fuel filters yet?

I'll be doing my third oil change when I get back next weekend

I've been towing heavy so the oil change interval is shorter. Particularly with dinosaur juice.

12,000 miles, time to move to synthetic

Yeah I’ve been using T4, I just switched to synthetic. I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to run full synthetic 1030 in these anyways.

I get all my oil and fuel filters from https://www.dieselfiltersonline.com...iter-powerstroke-diesel-filter-and-parts.html

They are a lot cheaper than the parts store or Ford. I buy in bulk too to save on shipping.

Gosh that seems like a lot of up keep compared to plain gas. I dunno if it’s worth it.

#stillnotnathan, #ainathan

It ought to be! Turning 50 YO in ~ 3 weeks. This alone justifies a special Subforum knife.

The skinner would do nicely for a 2025 forum knife...

Where can one find info about the next sale? https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/the-next-sale.1405869/
Stated as a question to not violate the thread "rules"

Yes, that is the plan

Jo and I are on Emerald Isle on the North Carolina Outer Banks for our annual vacation. Cell reception has been spotty. I'm going to try to do a sale on Friday

Just enjoy yourselves, that’s what is important

Did you get serial number #1 of the “Brothers” UF2 to hang in your trophy room/office wall, shop area?

 

[Gusbuster]

Nathan what’s the difference between Delta 3V at HRC62 and Cruwear on the FK3 in terms of functional use, and corrosion resistance?

BTW Hope you and Jo are having a great time on Emerald Isle.

 

[fnordmorph]

Nathan the Machinist , tomorrow's Friday sale questions; cruwear fk3? Cruwear edc?

According to my query, Cruwear is lower than 3V in terms of toughness, better than ordinary 3V in terms of blade retention performance, and lower than ordinary CPM3V in rust resistance
