I didn't care for him as a Florida Gator. Not because he wasn't a great athlete, and an even better person. It was because he was so damn good at everything he did while a Gator and he gave LSU fits.
His jump pass just Pi$$ed me off!!
After Florida you had to like him.

Are they replaced after a mileage point, time or run till not fixable? Are they assigned to a single driver or many?
All the field service trucks are single driver. We used to replace them at 250k miles, these days its more like 250k miles or major failure, whichever comes first. Some are kept past that.
Have to agree in a fleet setting if replacing after 250k that diesel does not make sense. But for individuals who hope to keep their truck for the life of engine then it may make sense.

Your premise that diesel longevity is not a selling point goes against everything i have ever read or witnessed. Granted my experience with 3/4 diesels are with my 5.9 Cummins and friends International/Ford 7.3 only. Both I would say are the best diesels ever put in a pickup. But I will admit I have no knowledge of diesels past the 5.9 and doubt I ever will.
Odds are the rotating assembly of the engine will still last forever but the fuel systems and emissions controls systems are outrageously expensive to repair. Sprinkle in some complex electronics and the repair bills can get massive quickly.
So while they technically might last longer, the cost of ownership will be higher, sometimes drastically higher, in most cases.
Have to agree again. Newer diesels, well all vehicles, are way too complex to my liking. That is why I will stick with my 04 5.9 Common Rail. It has no emissions BS to worry about. Injector pump should last but may need injectors at some point. Trans has 150k on rebuild so may need another eventually.
It has 360k on it and will probably outlive me. I guess that is a good thing! :lol:

Its real data from a big fleet of service trucks. You dont have to believe it vs your sample size of one. You are wrong though. If you were right, fleets would be buying 3/4 ton diesels and they overwhelmingly do not.
Would be interested to see your data on what your fleet trucks are used for. Hauling, towing, sales vehicles?

I built one and it is all I use. It has 2 22" Weber kettle cooking grates along with the domed lid.
Length of smoke will depend on the size of your coal basket. With my basket i can go 8 to 10 hours depending on temp i set.
Once set temps are rock steady.
Learning curve was small.
Only con i can think of is you have to remove the top grate to tend to the bottom one. I don't need to do that very often.

I think someone is in for a rude awakening when it is discovered that professional sports are not necessary for the survival of a nation or mankind.
Especially a sport where a score of 1 to nothing is considered a great game!
I wonder what would happen if a national say from China approached the son and said "You need to get this info for me are we are going to expose your parents to be deported." I would be concerned about their loyalty to the USA.
Not sure about this but wouldn't the Marine oath include upholding the laws of this country? You cannot selectively ignore the laws you want.
They should have driven their parents down to start the process years ago. But they didn’t.

Yep.
Love it.
I have the Lee 90 gr TL SWC. I shot them as cast with Lee Tumble Lube till I started Powder Coating my bullets.
I load with 3 grains of W231 for a very pleasant range load.
This load is just the ticket as an intro to new shooters.
I only shoot cast so cannot offer any advice on factory rounds.

They look pretty majestic as they cruise just above the water. Fear inducing? Besides raptors, which birds are fear inducing?
Was about to type this. They are amazing how far they glide about a foot over the water. And when they feed they are flying about 10 to 15 feet above the water and then just fold up and dive on the feed fish.
Fun to watch.
