Pretty excited myself.
My trolling motor took a dump, and I can't go out for a couple weeks anyway.
Handy gizmos. Good luck!

Everything should just use 5w40. Its basically miracle juice as far as lube oil is concerned.

What a fricked up state.
Its atrocious. This SHOULD be one of the best states in the nation. We have the river. We have a very unique heritage.
Unfortunately corruption is so deeply entrenched here that it'll never be rooted out. The people are by and large terrible and the state is basically doomed to suck because of it.

They won't pay the ticket anyway, and likely are breaking a shitload of laws at any given moment so it's a pain in the arse to deal with them for no gain whatsoever. It costs the department money to pull them over. It makes them money to pull you over.

Im not real sure what the complantes are about? The stickers are there so they can tell which vehicles need to be on the road or not.

Its a money grab. Plain and simple. Do you live ANYWHERE in Louisiana? We have the most uninsured motorists in the country. You can look around at any time on any highway and find a clapped out bag of arse with something not working on it driving around. The Mexicans haul entire caravans of rolling garbage down the interstate every day. It doesn't do not one tiny little bit of a damned thing to keep fricked up vehicles off the road. Those pieces of shite are EVERYWHERE and NEVER pulled over.
By some kind of mysterious miracle, the people who don't look like they would pay the ticket don't get pulled over. The people who do look like they could, do.
This is the most fricked up backwards arse shitball of a crooked state that ever existed and anything that can be done to remove money from the pocket of the state needs to be done.

They could collect it by cracking down on criminals. They could write 5,000 legitimate speeding tickets on any given night in the correct neighborhoods.
But that isn't the point. The fact that a bunch of undocumented residents can drag a caravan of busted up shite westbound down the interstate all day every day with zero law enforcement harassment is enough to make me not give a shite about anyone's retirement fund coming out of my wallet. Do something about the total frickin anarchy after Sundown in this state and then maybe I'll be interested in having some of my money be used to support then.

If you're over the age of 30 and drive a decent vehicle, and look like a normal tax paying citizen, no ones giving you an inspection sticker ticket.
I got one at 745 in the morning pulling into the church parking lot with my family on a sunday in st gabriel. The cop pulled a mid-road lights blazing U turn like she was after a serial killer to come get me. Sticker was 34 days out of date. I still don't understand how she even saw it.
So your hypothesis is incorrect. They do in fact give a shite.

The GM cp4 failures were due to cavitation combined with fuel issues. They didn't have a lift pump and had excessive supply restriction.
The CP3 is a better pump, no question. It's just noisy and big and heavy. None of the stuff the egg heads like to see these days.

You have to be careful doing that. It can create a swimming pool like deal where the tent is sitting in a puddle that can't drain. Ideally, the tent tarp needs to be just a little bit smaller than the tent.

Itll turn into ice and be pretty shitty.
Bring a flat shovel and get it down to the dirt/mud, put down a tarp or even better, a big arse moving blanket, and put the tent on that.

Something you'll commonly see is the people who use their trucks as they were designed to be used tend to have fewer issues.

Same reason we all of a sudden have issues with cams and lifters trashing themselves across all manufacturers. Insane fuel economy standards and the application of tjose standards.

Running Optilube XPD diesel additive mainly for additional lubrication of fuel system components.
While it probably doesn't hurt, I think diesel gets lubricity additives at the diesel making place these days. Hpfp failures are not as common as when ULSD first hit the market.
My truck has a CP3 pump which is a great pump but even when I had a CP4 equipped engine, I didn't bother with additives.
From the little bit of failure data I am privy to, the overwhelming vast majority of hpfp failures are due to contaminated fuel, water or DEF damn near every time.

In my opinion they're just fine with the emissions equipment on them but it isn't a popular one.

The truck that's wrapped around the engine.
21k seems high as giraffes arse to me. I would avoid a 5.9 cummins truck just because people think they are worth so much more than they are. The 6.7 is a better engine, and the trucks with 6.7's in them are better trucks. I'm sure you could find a much newer truck for that price. I think my 2018 with 100k miles blue books for 30k-ish.
