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.

RE: MotorTrend F150 Lightning Tow Test
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.

RE: Generator Security
When our two Yamahas are in my truck they are chained together along with gas cans, tool box, and other items. Sometimes I will use two or three separate chains and locks around each other grouping it all together.
When boondocking the generators are set 30' away from the trailer and chained together and through my spare tire for the truck.

RE: Towing With Air Bags.
I measure the hight to the top of my bumper unloaded. Hook up trailer and after WDH is put on inflate the airbags to get the bumper back to the same measurement.
No idea if that's correct but works for me.

RE: Traveling with Propane on
Always have and always will. I go to diesel only pumps and leave it running while refueling then pull away and shut it down if taking a break or just get back on the road.
Is it the sparks from a vehicles starter motor which are contained or the alternator that supposedly make things dangers at gas stations? I remember years ago on a jobsite someone augered though a gas main and after the repairs were made they put a gas sniffing meter under all our fenders before allowing us to start our vehicles.

RE: Goodbye China Bombs, Hello Made In The USA
I mounted, static balanced and used metal valve stems on both our trailers using Endurance tires. All were born within 4 months of delivery from Simple Tire.

RE: Idle/Drive Ratio
Absolutely. We do oil and filters every 250 hours. Axles and trans every 750.

RE: Idle/Drive Ratio
Just to throw a wrench into the mix. This is on a piece of equipment I drive at work.
Idle: 496 hours
Drive: 366 hours
You mean this is a truck I "IDLE AT WORK"
It's actually a telescopic forklift and the idle hours are so high because most of the time your not actually moving much while working. Setting trusses on a third floor could be 2 minutes of driving in and 15 minutes of jockeying the package in just the right position and then repeat that 47 times per phase X 14 phases per jobsite. Setting beams is another procedure where idle hours build up. All the hooking and unhooking is all idle time and condo buildings will have 25-50 beams per floor.
There are days though where idle is near zero. Unloading lumber trucks, organizing the materials and units and moving them out to where they need to be is a full day of full throttle.
My truck doesn't count hours. Hell it doesn't even have a computer in it.
