Henlo :3 It's your faithful Prezi, back from the dead. Well, more like Illinois, but same thing. Anways, ya girl works on trucks for a living. My friend recently told me ABS stands for "automatic brake check system," so... she inspired me to make this thread. * * * Ask me anything. Or just come chill and talk about cars/trucks with me LOL. * * * I know vehicles can be intimidating. Don't know how to change your oil and want to? A tire? Have a check engine light you're curious about? Your mechanic tell you something is wrong with your car and it sounded like he was speaking a foreign language that doesn't exist? Ask away. PIC CREDITS TO ME |

Do get dirty working with cars? Do you come home smelling like oil? Have you ever gotten hurt on the job? |

Yes, I work on trucks so it's especially dirty. After they drive so many miles and do so much with their trucks, the buildup of dirt, grease, oil, coolant, any fluid really from leaking gets nasty. I have black hands all the time 🤣 almost nothing gets it off!
* I usually smell like a mix of diesel and oil after work, but sometimes I get lucky and do computer work all day! *
I haven't been seriously injured on the job, but I have broken fingers, gotten a concussion, and make myself bleed at least every other day. |

Not by itself, but you can get an adapter and use the fifth wheel + gooseneck adapter to use a gooseneck trailer with your fifth wheel. |

40 is a bit of an exaggeration. We have been dealing with our trucks gelling up just now this year, but the weather has been consistently -25 to 0 degrees. Your fuel can and will gel up, I would say under 20 degrees is when you need to begin to worry. Your vehicle will not start with the fuel gelled. But you can prevent this by using winterized fuel and winter diesel treatment like Howes. I would recommend the diesel version of whatever you're looking for still. My first truck was a gas truck and I regretted not getting diesel every single day. |
