RE: Chaning Differental oil ???

As a person who just dropped $2,440 on a rear end rebuild I'd do it now. My oil was last changed by myself around 5 years ago and now wish I'd done it more regularly. Oil is cheap comparably.

RE: New to diesel fuel

Been driving diesel equipment for 24 years. We have many diesel storage tanks in storage bins that sit between jobs or phases sometimes for months. The tanks are not what I would call sealed or air tight and the fuel is fine. I would only use additives if you are parking where it can freeze.
I would also keep the DEF tank full when sitting. Some of our issues with DEF have been from crystals forming which I believe are from the tank drying over time because it is not full.

RE: Lubricant for tow bar arms

I just use wheel bearing and chassis grease as I have lots of it for work.

RE: Alternative to bumper sewer hose carrier

I keep our sewer hoses in a solid black tote and all our fresh water supplies in a clear tote. Electrical items in a grey tote.

RE: Firearms in RVs in California

on the road in California your firearm must be unloaded and in a locked container... unless you have a California CCW permit. In your campsite, you may treat your firearm as if in your own home.
To expand just a bit the magazine may be loaded but it may not be in the pistol. Both may be in the same locked container.

RE: Cummins vs Hummer Towing 6,000 lbs

Towing at 70mph is what killed the milage for both. Easily 18% more fuel/energy needed than towing at 55-60.

RE: Can 'O Worms: how long can I expect my 5er to last?

Our toy hauler is 17 years old but it's built like a tank thankfully. I've dragged it all over southern California desert down roads most of you would never consider. Our good friend has already been though two new ones. They literally fell apart.

RE: Why did my water pump stop pumping?

Do you have a water filter? Possible under the sink? I just changed mine this evening while filling the fresh tank up and had a heck of a time getting all the air bled even though I prefilled the filter and bled the water heater.

RE: Is changing to a quieter AC worth it?

We upgraded to a Atwood AirCommand and it is so much quieter than the Dometic that came with the trailer. It also is more electrically efficient and seems to throw the air much further.
From what I understand Dometic now owns Atwood…
I have read that and believe at the time we bought it was also but ours says Made in Australia and the electrical test result papers mentions Australia on it also. If it had said Dometic on it I would of returned it. I do not know if they have changed any internals but if they have not it is well worth the cost.

RE: 7th Gen S650 2024 Mustang

Wonder if it will still run when it is 54 years old like mine.

RE: How many folks want an EV

I would love a electric hybrid with a small turbine or diesel engine. A full size 4 door truck with a 8' bed and 4x4. Having a towing range of under 300 miles is unacceptable.

RE: California to Ban the Sale of New Gasoline Cars by 2035

Just glad I own 3 generators so at least my lights will be on.
Also feel bad for those that live in apartments or rent where charging ports will not be provided.
2034 will have record car sales I bet ??

RE: 1994 Dodge Ram Promotional Video

I remember walking into the San Diego Auto show when I was a kid and just inside the main front door was the all new 1994 Dodge Ram. It looked like NOTHING anyone had ever seen. The particular show truck was silver in color, 4x4, 4 door.
I took a picture and framed it and had it on my wall for years.

RE: Hedging Gas Prices

There was a story about doing just this on 60 Minutes or the like a long time ago, maybe a decade. Seem to remember you could deposit whatever dollar figure you wanted into the gas bank and the pump would reset to the price you bought it for. I do not remember what the business name was nor which brand of pumps you had to use.

RE: Pulled to the left when being passed by Big Rigs

If possible and you see them coming move over as far as you can safely to increase the gap between you both. I've read opening a window on each side of your trialer helps also but not tired that.

I am not sure if I am more shocked at the dismal range or the $92,700 price of the 1/2 ton truck.

RE: tire wrench

I carry a 1/2 breaker bar, 1/2 battery impact, 1/2 torque wrench, 1/2" extension and the sockets that fit my truck and the trailer. Never leave home without them.
