So people know where my attitude has come from lately. Job is excessively tough lately and I just wanna be in the woods to get away from the chaos. Every day is a struggle to get up and work because of some that make it hard. Weekend comes and it’s all good till Sunday. A lifetime of the same s*** and always digging and clawing gets to a man. I’m sure many can understand that. Party like a rockstar on the weekend so you can do what’s needed during the week. Not b****ing here but I am getting tired. Sometimes it hits us more then other times. We’ve got so many that just take from those of us that work hard it makes our dollar mean nothing and work harder.
If anything ever happens I want my s*** spread across the trails so I can be where I want to be and rest. If I’m buried in the city I’ll haunt those f***ers forever lol. Oh what it’d be to be free

I don't know how old you are. I don't know where you work or what your job is. I don't know what your family/home life looks like.

All that said.... I've had many jobs in my career. Several made it damn near impossible to force myself up in the morning, and that was usually(always) because of the people I worked with.
The job I have now probably has more stress than all the others but, I don't dread it. I don't even mind going to work. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather do a million other things, but going to work isn't tearing me apart.
Maybe it's time for a change.

Man that’s what I was trying to convey and reach out to the group last night before I got my ass handed to me about money and needing to sell my s*** off. I wasn’t b****ing about money I was actually b****ing about the job, we all have been there. Thanks for recognizing.
The job has become tough at times. Been in the field for 30 years and know what I’m doing. I’m a hands on guy and usually enjoyed that, always had pride in what I do, not afraid to tackle anything. I’d rather build something for the same price as buying it because there’s pride. Kids these days don’t have any of that. Miss days, in late, come in still drunk,leave before things are done and flat out have no pride.
My issue is as a painter in the field I busted ass, 25 cars a day. Never was I behind nor yelled at, just kept chugging through no matter what. Now as a manager I just cringe. It’s amazing how much crap you see and how hard it is to keep people on target. One week doing this I get ass beatings then my whole career getting my hands dirty. Yet still have to do my old job and others when people can’t show up. It’s really tough sometimes! I’m sure it’s obvious I’m not really a people person, and I don’t appreciate flack especially from people who don’t know what they are saying. It’s a tough gig for sure at times even though usually I like my job. Can’t paint all your life and expect to live long time so that was my move.
It sometimes sucks to see some that use the system and work as little as possible. Taxes come and after what I pay in and they get back and all benefits they receive we make the same yet I’ve been doing this forever. I’m sure many understand what I’m saying, it’s frustrating especially with all the stress involved.
Just want to relax someday and can’t wait for that. It has absolutely nothing to do with working on my own stuff or projects. That I actually enjoy and relaxes me, when I can make time. Work has been stressful so that’s what I meant by wanting to relax! Woods is my get away but now even there I think about the job and am an ass. I was just trying to vent, usually say too much and well this is another one of those times. Just hope it gets easier is all.

I know how you feel! When I first went to work as a plumber,the company got behind and I felt like it was the employees fault so when we had to start working overtime and I worked even harder than normal thinking the company surely can't afford to pay over time and have the same production out of me, I would run to the truck for tools and back to the site trying to make up some time, sure glad I didn't have to work much double time, I would have killed my self! HA! I moved up to crew leader, we had a big apartment complex going, once the framing was done with lockable doors and windows and they locked them every night, 18 of us would stand around in the mornings for an hour waiting for assistant super to come and and unlock the doors and I would lose 18 hours of production a day, I tried to meet with the super for a week to talk about getting the doors open, he was always on the phone and wouldn't come talk to me later in the day, so four days of this went by, Friday morning went to the super's office and he was on the phone and waved me away like always, bout the third wave I stepped up on chair then on to his desk and proceeded to kick everything off of his desk including phone, told him what I thought of him and wanted the doors unlocked before we got there Monday morning, Monday morning the doors were all locked until my # 8 unlocked the building were were working in, the assistant super came around an hour later to unlock the doors and we were working, he asked me If I had kicked the doors down, I said no but it sure was nice to go to work on time, Tuesday morning the doors were unlocked.

7.3 injector or DT 444? I have put a butt load of those in.

 

[Mopower58]

If we did all eight we used to snatch them out one at the time and never drain the heads. If you drain the heads it takes forever to start.

 

[DG Rider]

7.3.
And you're right about draining the head. Poor starter.

 

[Mopower58]

I used to hate seeing fuel in the coolant. I always replaced all 8 injector cups. Used loctite on the cups but disliked replacing the injector o rings.I used STP on them and the injectors were a breeze to reinstall. If the fuel had been in there very long I replaced upper and lower radiator hoses and plastic coolant reservoir tank.

Most of the ones that all 8 were replaced were hard to start after sitting overnight.Seems like A's in the 94 and 95's,then B's in 96-99.5's then 7 D's and a EE in #8 on 99.5 and up.

That's what my 5.7 does great off the line and falls flat at higher speeds and gets 13.1 average MPG

What kind of up date?

 

[CumminsPusher]

What kind of up date?

Supposed to be an all new truck from ground up. I would definitely expect a better power plant. Seen pics of a dually and heard rumors of diesel.
