We did 12.5 again. That includes a bunch of driving in KS with a trailer too.

Been watching this trailer. Likely the axles are bent from being overloaded.

That looks like a good foundation.

Its still at a good price.

Monday was a busy day for the Big Gulp. Picked up a new trailer and a lawnmower. The trailer needs the brakes rewired and I am getting a set of matching wheels and tires soon. Also plan to put new LED lights on it. Will be hauling the minivan to Minnesota and a load of tools and shop items back.

I picked up the mower for $250. Runs and mows. Needs an oil leak fixed, new tires, and a new battery. We just got back from the car wash. Blasted all the grease and oil off so I can find the leak.

Love the trailer.

Do you plan to flip the mower? What powers it?

I plan to keep the mower. It has a 19hp Kawasaki twin. I think it is leaking where the two halves of the case comes together. Gasket failed. Will just replace all the seals and gaskets. New tires and a battery and it should be mowing.

I wish the trailer was slightly wider. Full size vehicles will be a tight fit.

Gulp did 13.5 tonight. Most of those are local miles with about 100 miles towing the trailer.

Not bad. Have you thought about changing the O2 sensors? Good quality units are cheap these days; even Bosch heated units run around the $40 mark, and they might step up your economy even more.

I have thought about doing some tune up items. Changed an O2 sensor on the minivan and the mileage jumped 5 mpg. If I can pick up 1 mpg with Big Gulp it would be worth it.

www.rockauto.com. Great place for parts.

I am going to pick up new rotors and pads for the minivan. I think I will get new O2 sensors for Big Gulp and a PCV valve. I don't want to touch the ignition system. It runs fine. If I blow another plug then we will go into that.

The AC blows nice and cold out of the home depot irrigation covers they stuck into the ceiling vents.:tup:

I do have a water leak in the back. I thought it was rain water, but it may be coming from the rear AC unit. Noticed today after I had it on that there was a puddle on the floor under the area. The drain may be plugged. No carpet in the back. It was really dirty and wet when I picked it up. Will be placing a horse stall mat back there.

$43 for the upstream and $45 for the downstream. I already have the tool. Someplace.

Is that a Bosch? I find that a couple of extra $ for the Bosch unit is worth it.

That is for the motorcraft parts. I like to use OE stuff.

Me too. You might find that Bosch is the OE. It typically is for Ford.

It may be. Probably Motorcraft by Bosch.
