2017 Ford F250 Powerstroke Diesel 6.7 makes a loud exhaust brake squeal when I engage the brake. Does anyone know what this noise is? The exhaust brake works great, it just does not sound right. Otherwise the pickup runs and drives great.

Quick overview of my recently purchased antique 3 pound candy scale manufactured by Computing Scale Company out of Dayton Ohio. It is the model 167. I am looking forward to fixing its weighing mechanism and completely restoring it. Looking for suggestions on where to start in regards to getting it working again. It appears to be complete!

My door locks were hard to turn on my old Dodge Ram Cummins diesel. I bought this lubricant to fix some wooden cabinet drawers in my house (worked great) and used it to fix my door locks. It was a little over $15 for a jar and I'd recommend it if you have a hard to turn lock and don't want to break your key. You can purchase it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3OSEbSO

This chest is made of elm wood with brass hardware and the lucky fish style lock. Lots of intricate detail throughout - cool piece of furniture!
