Iām like a month too late. Not only do you have nice hair you answer questions before theyāre asked.
I usually use the copper but Iāve never seen the copper with the graphite. I have some gray on the shelf that Iāve had from way back. I did learn a neat trick to where I used some of it up. I had a tire that was leaking around the bead. No matter how much I cleaned the aluminum rim and tire bead it just kept leaking. The aluminum was just all galled up. I read somewhere to coat it with anti-seize so I gave it a shot. It worked like a charm and the tire has held air going on two year. I think they sell an actual tire bead sealant but have never seen what the substance actually looks like. It might do the same thing.
Please Donāt use assembly lube
Mine kept backing out even with those stripped lock washersā¦ Blue loctite is removable, just helps with vibrationā¦ and yes they where torqued correctly
Iām not sure what Iām doing right, I donāt even use a torque wrench never had any loose bolts or stripped threads from tightening. Well thought out skid dampening would probably solve your problem.
I ran out and bought anti-seize. I wanted to be able to get the pump off if I need to. @marinegrunt @MuscleMyHustle @Chesebro @dperez thanks for your help.
Iām getting there slowly. My trailer is ready for the season the truck bed is just extra. I wanted an 8 gpm and didnāt have room in the trailer.
Whereās the buffer tank?
@dcbrock The 65 against the cab. Itās an old buffer I had. The smaller 25 is for my 12v. I donāt do roofs just use it for concrete and such.
Wow, thatās a 65? I need new glasses.
Thatās what she saidā¦
Iām liking the woodwork, real nice 
I was gonna do 12x2s or 6x2s but they were way too heavy. The deck boards worked well so far.
What size bed is that on the truck?
Eight
That 65 will last you all of 8 min with that machine unless youāre like IBS and hook up to hydrants every job. But I guess if you get a house with 5gpm flow that will give you about 20min.
I had a 4 and 5.5 on the 65 gallon buffer. I only had a few houses where it was a problem running them together. Plus I already had in my yard. Lol
Big difference between that 5.5 and that 8. I had a 65 gallon for my 5.5 and it rarely ever budged off full. Went to a 100 gallon with the 8 and Iāve ran it dry several times. So I have to agree with Rick. Good luck though.
I know it will be a problem once in a while but it wasnāt that bad running 9.5 gpm (4gpm & 5.5gpm) with a 65. I went to a 125 and had almost zero issues. I still have my 4 and 5.5 in the trailer to fall back on.
I wonder if a low water sensor can be installed somehow. My 5.5 never gets close but I did run it down to about 10 gallons on a weak spigot last year. Caught it just in time.
