RE: New Tires Today
All "Sounds" good but there has not been enough time to tell if the GY ENDURANCE will be a good tire. Only on the market for 2.5 years.
Maybe we can say "Good Tire" in 5 years??????

RE: Rough Ride
Weigh your tires, use the weight/inflation chart for the heaviest tire on each axle and add 5psi. Each axle may have the same psi or may not.
I'm betting 80-85psi.
Class Dismissed!

RE: Tires
Good call on the ENDURANCE.
Maybe we can start recommending them next year when they have 3 years of solid real world use.
Neighbors just bought a TT made in Oregon that came with ENDURANCE tires.

RE: Rails vs pucks vs gooseneck mount
Sell what you have and buy the B&W puck hitch. Went from 18k Companion on 11 DRW RAM to Puck on 15 DRW RAM.
B&W's are easy to sell, sold mine first day.

RE: Hitch choice
"I justified the cost of my TS3 after just 30 minutes towing with a B&W Patriot which was a nightmare."
PLEASE tell what was creating a "nightmare" for you with the Patriot?

RE: Hitch choice
I agree a new B&W user should methodically go by their instructions for sure! When comfortable operating it THEN one can consider the VISUAL test.

RE: Hitch choice
God gave you a brain, use it. Pull test is no different than a visual test on a B&W. Other brands I don’t care.

RE: "LT" tire pressures on Expedition
Use weight/inflation chart for your tires, add 5psi to rear and 10 psi to front. Go to local scales and get your axle weights and divide by 2. Simple!!!

RE: What do I need
Coming lately disagree. 5er is slower to respond and takes much more area to maneuver than a TT.
I back my boat fast and easy compared to my 5er.

RE: What do I need
To be clear when backing into a B&W "IF" the handle comes to the "LATCHED" position ti will NOT come loose. Many times I have backed into mine and the handle does NOT fully close even tho the jaws LOOK to be fully engaged.
Handle MUST be closed/locked!!!
This assumes that you're smart enough to remember to take the f'n PIN out of the hold-open position. :M
Lyle
Lyle when Chris texted me about what happened I said "I'm betting he pinned the handle back"
That is way I NEVER pin the handle back. I guess there may have been a couple times I did to keep the jaw open to pull away. BUT I always lock my handle closed as part of my routine. Padlock laying on top of my tool box as a reminder to "lock her up". ;)

RE: What do I need
Lyle, sorry for your loss!
There is always the human factor! Distractions happen unfortunately.
I recently launched my boat right after watching a guy drop his boat off his trailer backing down ramp. He actually removed cable AND safety chain. We were in the middle of getting ready when this happened. My wife and both forgot to remove outdrive transport bracket until in the water with lots of people ready to launch or load. Laying on the swim step i blindly removed all three parts soaking my self to the neck.
Some will say you should have done a pull test. Test I agree but a "VISUAL" test would have done the same.
Your call but you should start a new topic on this to remind people to do the "TEST" of their choice!!!

RE: Duramax class action suit
Exploding saddle gas tanks on GM pickups lawsuit. I received a $500 COOPIN to buy any GM vehicle. Funny part was my truck was a Diesel. I did use the COOPIN to help my daughter buy a car. Also used my racked up points on my GM card at that time.
WTH is a COOPIN?
Ever watched Ron White the Comedian?
