TFL is a great magazine, For starting camp fires but that's about it.

RE: Opinion on Resort fees

I don't understand the "resort Fee" and never heard of it.
Our park here in the Keys charges over a hundred a night, (like all the others) but along with what you said we have a free boat ramp for renters and each spot is on a canal and each has a tiki hut dock. We also have two small sandy beaches.
The things that you said were closed are probably the same as ours -closed due to the Covid.
If you don't like the cost, you should use another place, but along the coast and the farther south you head you'll have trouble finding any thing less expensive
GuySounds like you may be at Bluewater Key.

RE: 2011 F150 parts back ordered

On a 10 year old truck I would go aftermarket. I bet it would be cheaper as well.

RE: Superglide Hitch / Capture Plate Question

NO! Don't try this unless you can block the slide from moving. When you make a turn the 5th wheel will turn and slide but not the way you want.
You are asking for a lot of trouble.

RE: 2020 new truck sales

Seems like all you see around here are Rams, I would have thought their numbers would be higher.
I think it's because Ram drivers like to gut the exhause system so you hear them and say what's that noise and look but you don't hear that racket when a dozen Fords or Chevy's roll by so it seems there are more Rams around.I agree. Every time I hear a loud tractor on the road I know there is a Ram around.

RE: Is there something I am missing ?

Make your own decisions. I'm not saying wear them or not.
My neighbor is 68 yr's old and in the hospital with covid. She has not been out of her house in months. Lives with her husband who gets out very little and he test negative.
Do mask work? Who really knows?

RE: How will my new F350 behave in cold temps?

My 2012 F250 has glow plugs I would think that yours has them also.
All diesels have glow plugs like gassers have spark plugs
SORRY not true! REAL truck engines have grid heaters like all Cummins engines in HD RAM Trucks do.
NOT cool when a tip breaks off.
OK, Mr. Nitpicker :W how about “All Diesels have some type of pre-heat system”?
:):)Also not true. I worked for Saunders Leasing as a lead mechanic in the 80's and none of our class 8 trucks had engine heaters or glow plugs nor did my personal class 8 road tractor.

RE: The mac daddy of bike rack overload?

Funy how some believe that simply from a picture they can evaluate whether the load is proper or not...And they have no idea what the wall thickness is on those tubes. I see no problem with it but I was just a fabricator for many years building car sub frames.

Circuit board. Replace it with a Dinosaur. Much better than OEM.
