  1. If I only had 1/2 inch of clearance I would be shaving off some of the mounting plates or adjusting the steering stops. Bill
  2. I like it. You forgot it can double as a dust mop handle. I put straps on my pads so it is easier to snag them and move them around but I like that handle. Bill
  3. I agree. I would bet you could go measure a stack of 275/80R22.5 tires and find more variation in diameter. Also on the width keep in mind on the width the one inch is actually only one half inch on each side. I would bet you can change the width at the middle of the sidewall more that by changing air preshure. It is proven that tread design and composition is a much much bigger factor in traction than a inch of width. Keep in mind wider tires can hydroplane faster. Bill
  4. I am running Continental 275/80R22.5 and they are as good or better than Michelin and were over $100.00 cheaper than Michelin through the tire program. Bill
  5. Breezy2, welcome to the forum and thanks for the advise. Bill
  6. We have done some talking books if there was no reception or no good stations. Bill
  7. Part is you don't drive a big rig like your car. You have to learn to drive it based on conditions. Bill
  8. Ray, when I first read that I missed the "garage". I thought it was a lot of heat for an RV. Just be safe and be shure you have enough ventilation. Bill
  9. Yes I have a ACME dolly. What does it say in your owner's manual? Bill
  10. Welcome to the forum. What dolly are you going to use? Different dollies require different setups. Some require the steering to be locked and some don't. Bill
  11. Welcome to the forum. Most water heaters have acess to get to the bypass valves for winterizing. Look and see if you can get to the valve from this acess. Bill
  12. And We won't charge for the service of blaming you. Bill
  13. I am going to blame it all on you. I was looking around to see what might fit your earlier criteria. https://www.nirvc.com/Sales/Inventory/3150B Bill
  14. I will need the serial number to accurately verify what the Cummins website says. They show the 450 and 500 ISM at the same torque. Bill
  15. The only problem with buying used is you may need to look a long time to find that optional configuration. I think I am going to see how a Cummins ISM 450 with 1500 lbs./ft of torque workes out just for the fun of it. Bill
  16. Yes, Good stuff. 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Permanent Spray Adhesive Glue, Paper, Cardboard, Fabric, Plastic, Metal, Wood, Look on Amazon. We use to use to glue things on F-35. Bill
  17. I recommend everyone look at their side walls to see what speed rating they have. Bill
  18. Why not convert that cover to a door? Would give you a place for storage and keep the cats out. Bill
  19. Welcome to the forum. Hard to do long distance diagnostics. What has this very competent RV Repair company done so far? have they changed the flasher units? Replaced all the bulbs on that circuit? How fast do they flash with the toad plugged into the coach? Keep us updated Bill
  20. I don't see why not. I have seen lots of them at different rallies and events. Some have a dedicated poll and some top of their flag pole attached to the ladder. Bill

    That is ok I am confused a lot anyway. I think what you are trying to do is gain information on how to take care of a diesel. You said you knew gas engins, well diesel is not that different. I would shift more towards maintenance. That to is pretty simple. I think Brett is right on the money. Bill
