What did you do to your non g-body project today [2025 edition]

[CopperNick]

Given what is passing for weather in some states, you might want to drop that truck box and add a sander!! Was watching the regional and saw this state trooper in Missouri demonstrating how icy it was. Basically he was skating along quite nicely on his boots with nary a lick of friction to slow him down. Add a broom and a rock and lots of yelling drunks and you'd have an average curling tournament up here.

Apparently the I-70 Corridor states were getting as much as 5 Feet of the stuff all the way to the coast. Makes me glad that I am up here in the land of the Frozen Chosen. Frozen we might be, 20 below F. at 8 AM but at least I am not out in a snow bank taller than I am and trying to keep my blower from blowing its guts out.

Just don’t hang your knickers out to dry in the breeze Nick! Be like having them starched on the line… figure New England is almost due for a whopper storm. As long as we have the plow up and working it’s all good. You’ve just been sending that cold air at us now!

Uh-uh, pilgrim, that cold air isn't ours. We just get to watch it wander on by. Y'all need a culprit, here, think either Siberia or Colorado, or maybe both if they run into each other and overlap. What we have here and now is courtesy of that Puto-Putin wallah. It is supposed to warm up come next weekend but for us that usually means a dump of that white crud. Sometime this week I have to get back into the shop and sweeten up the gas in the blower tank and maybe do an oil change. That will be my non G-body project. Oil isn't overly nasty for color or smell but has been in there for a winter or two so just based on age and time in it might be useful to do the maintenance.

speaking of which, what IS the typical lifespan of rear diff oil? 20 yrs? 100k miles?

My 2015 F150 maintenance manual says to do it at 150k. I changed the rear around 90k. I'm at 97k now and still haven't done the front. I have the fluid sitting here, just need to get around to it.

That's a synthetic fill though. Not that it's irrelevant, just worth differentiating.
