    Since it is starting to warm up don't wait too long to reverse your battery cables so you have cooling not heating in the cab.

    Also don't forget to top off your blinker fluid as some does evaporate even in the cold winter months.

    And remember to grease the muffler bearings! The work truck's been making some rattling when idling, I need to shoot some grease in them bearings to quieten it down!

    Change the air in your tires from winter air, to summer air for better mpgs.

    Many people forget to remove the engine blanket when it warms up. Funny thing is its usually the same people who complain their A/C isn't cold enough.

    It's also best to wash and lube your nuts too. It's a job I used to get my wife to do, but she's not too inclined to do that anymore. I guess she likes rusty nuts. Oh well,,,,,

    Lug nuts ? In the recent Mount Washington activity one of the one of the cars saw his wheel with all lugs sheared off , pass him .Hate that when it happens !
    It put the car down the mountain and through the woods ! I suppose he was occupied with many other things to hear or feel the wheel problem !
