RE: My have things changed
We recently bought a newer truck and retired our 16-year-old truck. The old truck had 310 HP and 425 lbs. of torque. The new truck has 440 HP and 925 lbs of torque. I love every single HP and every single pound of torque. What a tremendous difference in ease of towing. I feel much more relaxed while driving down the road. Towing now is pure pleasure and easy in comparison. I liked the old truck, but now I'm in love.

RE: Retractable Tonneau Covers
Thanks for your reply. I found out on another forum that ReTrax and GatorTrax are identical other than the name tag.

Retractable Tonneau Covers
We are about to put a retractable cover on our 2017 F350. We had our searching narrowed down to a Retrax Pro MX. But then we discovered a Gator Trax MX. Now we are confused because these two covers appear identical, but the Gator is cheaper. Does anyone know for sure if these two units are actually the same unit with just a different name?

RE: Trying to decide which way to go on fifth wheel hitch
We've only had two hitches so far and both have been Pullrite hitches. I'd certainly look at this brand for any hitch application. We have been VERY happy with Pullrite.

Hydraulic 6 point leveling
We have a Grand Design with the 6 point hydraulic leveling system. The hydraulic line going to one of the rams has a leak. If I disconnect it at the point of the leak, put thread tape on the fitting and reconnect, do I need to be concerned about air in the hydraulic line? Is it like brake lines that need bleeding?

RE: Grand Design slide out malfunction
Thanks for the help. We found a blown 15 amp fuse. Changed it and all is well.

Grand Design slide out malfunction
Our slides will not extend. The battery is new. The manual says to check the auto resetting fuse, which is located next to the slide out motor. But I don't know where the slide out motor is located on this 369RL. CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT?

RE: Valve stem extensions for DRW
Okay, I purchased the correct chuck and I can see how it WILL work to air up both inner and outer tire on the rear. However, I can't get my hand in to remove the valve stem cover. I tried a needle-nose plier, a regular plier and neither would do the job. Is there a special tool for this task or do you have a very small hand available to help out? How do you remove the valve stem cover on the inner dually?

Valve stem extensions for DRW
Has anyone put valve stem extensions on their DRW? We recently purchased a dually truck and I can't air up the inner dually on either side. I'm thinking of doing something to make this easier. What is your solution?

Dually tire pressure
We just bought a 2017 F350 dually CC LB 6.7 4X4. We pull a 5th wheel that weighs about 14,000 lb. This is our first dually. We've heard that tire pressure doesn't need to be as high as our old truck. So we are wondering what pressures you all run in your truck, or what you recommend for our truck.

Small Travel Trailers
My son is looking for a relatively small travel trailer. He hopes to find one with tandem axles, yet that will depend on the total weight of such a trailer. He will be pulling the trailer with a Toyota Tundra which does have a V8 engine, but I don't know what the towing capacity is yet. He would like the smallest trailer that has the tandem axles. Can you suggest some trailer brands we might look at?

Ford Puck System
We recently bought a 2017 F350 Lariat CC DRW 6.7 LB 4X4 and now we need to put a hitch in it. How do I tell for sure whether or not this truck has the PUCK system for the hitch mount? It does have the four small pockets in the bed. But someone told us that the main part of the puck system is under the bed. Can anyone explain what we need to look for to tell for sure whether we have it or not?

RE: 2017 F350 6.7. Inspection?
We bought the truck yesterday and drove it 200 miles home. The inside of the box shows signs of wear, but the rest of the truck looks and operates like new. At this point we are real happy with the truck. Thanks for your help with the purchase decision making.

RE: 2017 F350 6.7. Inspection?
I agree with Weldon only I think the original price was over 70K. All the more reason it seems illogical that the previous owner would pay a high price, take excellent cosmetic care of the vehicle and neglect the maintenance on the engine and drive train. Tomorrow, I will implement Dave's idea and try to contact the previous owner. I am feeling much better about this in part due to all of you. Thank you.

RE: 2017 F350 6.7. Inspection?
Oh,wonderful, I must have misread my own research. Yes the engine and transmission is the part I'm concerned about. That warranty is transferable too so that is good news too. I'm beginning to feel better about this truck due to all of your comments and friends I've been talking to also. Thank you.

Shower drain clog.
The water in our shower drains slowly. By the time our shower is over we are standing in water. We think it must be a hair clog just because we don't what else would cause it. Our question is what should we do to fix it.

RE: 2017 F350 6.7. Inspection?
Well I just found online that the warranty is only 3 years or 36,000 miles. So there is no warranty to transfer.

RE: 2017 F350 6.7. Inspection?
Are those factory warranties transferable to the next winner? If they are, that would be wonderful and easy my mind considerably.
