    Synthetic Oil

    Glad you are happy. I was in the OPE business for a lot of years, and was a dealer and certified tech for Briggs, Tecumseh, Kohler, Subaru-Robin (at that time known as Wisconsin-Robin), and Onan. Also Kawasaki via John Deere. Briggs' QC and durability was so bad it got to where if it was a...

    Synthetic Oil

    If it's a Briggs & Scrap-Iron, a fill of $0.99 Dollar General oil will outlive it anyway.

    OEM brakes replaced at 71k

    My '19 3500 DRW had @68K on it when it met its demise and the pads were close to 80%. Approx 10% towing 41' toy hauler. Love the exhaust brake. The '24 has had an easier life, so far.

    Cummins automatic trannys

    It's interesting to me that Mopar trans are so hated, yet the only failures I have had were a Ford auto in an Expedition @13K miles, and a Chevy with the hallowed Allison that I lemon-lawed within a year.

    Synthetic Oil

    When I was in the OPE business, and they started putting extended oil fills/dipstick tubes on small engines, I can't begin to tell you how many came into the shop plumb full to the top and hydrolocked.

    Synthetic Oil

    Basically, Erik Buell was dead in the water without Hardly's checkbook, regardless of percentage ownership. It was a zombie company/vanity exercise from the get-go.
