Burns ok in a closed system stove like ours, just not as long and as hot as good hardwoods.how does cotton wood burn?
Neighbors don’t like the smell so I quit burning it.

My bed is just one massive dent, lolProbably has a spray in bedliner but doesn't want to get it dirty!
I would bet half the trucks I work on don't have a dent in the bed.
Got a version of that called Tulip poplar here. Like burning soggy cardboard.Burns ok in a closed system stove like ours, just not as long and as hot as good hardwoods.

I just did a motorcycle tank. When we oil and chip the roads we use slag instead of rock it’s real hard. I used that insideOld timers would put a tractor on blocks and ratchet strap a fuel tank full of steel shot to the drive wheel. Just make sure to block the wheels good in case she comes down.![]()
Interesting question. Pretty sure I win cause I'm staying outside the cage well armed. Just need a spot to set my coffee if it happens in the morning.Last post then bed
I say Grizz
There are fools on Facebook that are saying Gorilla
I had to remind them a Gorilla weighs 400 and a Grizz 800 and stand 3 feet taller and has CLAWS
What do you guys think??
I think the Lion even beats the gorilla
Claws are hard to beat….View attachment 1165500
No personal experience but my brother's brother in law buys them for his route managers. I believe they had 6 at last count. They've been bulletproof and get great fuel mileage. He gets rid of them @ 90k miles. He told me that was because the 3.0 uses a wet belt to drive the oil pump. The belt is at the rear of the engine so the transmission has to be pulled and the cab is also lifted to replace it.Does anyone have any experience with the 3 liter diesel engine that gmc uses in their sierra 1500 truck. I’m looking at new trucks and looks like they get good mileage on them. I’ve seen lots of reports of problems with the 5.3 v8 lifter issues so think I want to stay away from it. Thanks

My Dad worked at a steel mill and when I built my house, he suggested using slag instead of rock for my driveway. Wan't sure how it would look. Got any pics of your driveway?Ahh yes, lots of slag around me. 2 steel mills within 30 minutes so it's used everywhere around here for driveways, road berms, etc...
Recycled crushed asphalt is a good one to use and much cheaper than gravel.My Dad worked at a steel mill and when I built my house, he suggested using slag instead of rock for my driveway. Wan't sure how it would look. Got any pics of your driveway?
It works great on roads. It’s harder and more porous than rock and snow seems to melt off better. I’m from the same general area as you we get it from granite city steel millMy Dad worked at a steel mill and when I built my house, he suggested using slag instead of rock for my driveway.

Gorilla, but I wouldn't count the bear out. The lions and snake don't stand a chance imo.Last post then bed

Depends on where you live. RAP price went way high about a year ago around here $600.00 for a tri-axle load. Hoffers claimed it was from the cost of crushing it going up. can still get 2a modified for tad under $400.00 tri-axle. I used to get road millings from the township too, (for free) but they started stock piling it to reuse as base material in road reclamation projects. So back to getting stone.Recycled crushed asphalt is a good one to use and much cheaper than gravel.
The slag is definitely more than 3/8 chips. It’s around $30 a ton delivered here for the townshipGorilla, but I wouldn't count the bear out. The lions and snake don't stand a chance imo.

Slag never breaks down. If you get the right mix it's great stuff. This was a slag pile at the mill I work at.My Dad worked at a steel mill and when I built my house, he suggested using slag instead of rock for my driveway. Wan't sure how it would look. Got any pics of your driveway?

Well I took out the paperwork . Engine was advertised at 341 hp and 371 ft lbs torque . The dyno showed 381 hp and 427 ft lbs torque. I’m very pleasedThe only complaint we had was from a guy who had a pretty rowdy 327 in his 69 Camaro that had a rod that wanted to see daylight. We put in the 375 hp 350 from Blueprint. When he picked it up and started it for the first time he was disappointed with how smooth it idled. Needless to say he was pleasantly surprised with the driveability and when he got on it the first time he was amazed how it pulled right up to 6k rpm. Another added benefit was enough vacuum to run his brake booster.
