Window Cleaning Forum / New truck
« Last post by Slacky on December 22, 2025, 09:22:58 pm »
When I first moved out here I bought a truck, 90,000 miles on the clock with pretty good reviews. Anyway after 6 months, 2 days after the warranty expired, the transmission fell apart.

It went in to the garage to have a new one fitted, $6,500. 

A month later that one fell apart. Repaired as that had a years warranty.

Last week that one fell apart. It’s in the garage being repaired, under warranty.

Today I went in to Vancouver to buy this. Pretty much brand new.

It’s got acres of space in the back, I really want a vehicle now where I can keep everything; pressure washer/ gutter vac and window gear.

Anybody want a GMC with a new transmission?

Bought one of the SS electric reel with 6mm hotwater hose. You get 10% off with your first order. I now have 2 Grippa reels and one PF reel as one of my Grippa electric reels has stopped working. Will work out what is wrong with it during the break when I have some spare time. Thanks for recommending this reel.

You only need one reel if you work on your own. Why have you got 3?

Pictures can be deceiving with distances but whilst I wouldn’t want to live that close to them I wouldn’t hesitate to clean the windows there , I don’t see any potential dangers doing that .

There is no way I would buy a property so close to those power lines, no matter what the Government says about the risks involved. They have an agenda to build more houses, whether they are on known floodplains or alongside power lines.

Honestly I would have no issue cleaning that highlighted window, but only in the dry. I would also be very aware of how I extended my pole and how I lowered it. I wouldn't be tempted to move from one upper window to the other with my pole extended. I would also make a mental note that, if I lost balance while working, which direction I would throw the pole.  That might not be the same every time I cleaned that house.

I was watching a USA car program and it was about a volvo car that has done 3 million odd miles and still going strong. The guy changed the oil every 4,000 miles and the guy said that's the reason the engine keeps going. Every year I run my fuel tank down low and put 2 cans of Catclean in the diesel tank. Then i run the van down the motorway for 30 miles and back again. Then I change my oil, oil filter and diesel filter and my mate takes it for a MOT. If you maintain something it usually lasts but if you look at UK Govs you see the opposite view. They wait till the thing falls apart before they have to maintain it. That's why our roads don't get maintained properly because they have no plan inplace because that means they need to find the money for the plan.
