    What he said. Siezed to the spindle or siezed to the hub? It's the spindle you have to be very careful to protect when you are cutting. Hubs can be cheaply replaced.

    I also have a Silverado ext cab - but mine also has a big toolbox making the 6.5' bed even shorter. When I had that same Saranac to haul, I used a set of "bunks" that I made up. I took 2 10' 2x4s...

    I have never used a torque wrench for spark plugs. Just do it by feel. If the plug has a crush washer, you'll feel it crushing the washer. If it doesn't, just turn it until it is good and snug...

    5150 max RPM is right at the bottom of manufacturer's spec. It will breath much easier (and last longer) if you prop it so that you are maxing out near the top of the range. Not much kills an...

    What Jack said - your fish is too damp. Let it air dry for a short while before doing your coating. Then, let it sit again on a wire rack to "set up" before frying.

    You are overthinking the waypoint functionality. A standard GPS unit is only going to have repeatability to about 25' to 50' or so (sometimes even less). That means, it will get you to the general...

    Best thing you can do is have an active predator control program. Kill off anything that eats turkeys - especially young and eggs. Coyotes, bobcats, armadillos, skunks, feral cats, etc.
