    For those that think Dodge may be inferior, Daimler Corp., (Mercedes Benz) as most people know it, merged with  Chrysler in 1995 and they operated that way until 2007. Those were some of the best built during Chrysler history in my opinion. Fiat bought the company out in late 2007 and have been pretty good also.

    Tell me why you can't run the 295-80R-22.5 on the drive axel? 

    I agree Bill, here is an ad for the correct size in Continental. https://simpletire.com/paid?v=1&tireSize=295-80r22.5&mpn=5120370000&brand=continental&productLine=hsr2-sa&itemId=40029&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping_feed&utm_content=surfaces_across_google&region_id=4000049999&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=G_Shopping_Region_04&utm_content=Profit-Bucket_Commercial_LowProfit_Tier-D_RAD&utm_term=&utm_creative=383435609666&gclid=CjwKCAjw3pWDBhB3EiwAV1c5rNRhhtq8I5qTURvUxLEhKxotakrV8U581ooOki6aoRGny61gK2J1vRoC8zMQAvD_BwE

    Who is telling you this?

    So someone is incorrect.

    Your speedometer will show that you are going faster than you really are with 75 instead of 80 also. Be sure the load rating is correct also. You may want to check 0n 305-75/22.5 for a more comparable circumference, just be sure that there is enough space between the duals to avoid kissing.

    After full timing for a few years, I missed my big smoker.  I finally bought a Green Mountain Grill Davy Crocket pellet smoker and love thing.  I can smoke on it of crtank it up and do steaks.  I do not want to mess with charcoal again.

    I have a Traeger brand pellet grill and like Ken, love it, in fact I have two, one is table top, other is a barrel shaped. I will never light charcoal again.

    Well, I learned something new today. Obviously I'm not too old to learn. Turns out there is a large bore valve stem and valve core.  Does your valve stem look like those pictures?

    The good news is this company sells large bore to standard bore adapters.https://tiresupplynetwork.com/search?type=product,page,article&q=large bore valve stem*

    NAPA sells them too. The hole in the rim is .8125"

    Yep Rayn, we all can learn cant we. https://tiresupplynetwork.com/products/large-bore-to-standard-bore-adapter?_pos=5&_sid=45003ccd8&_ss=r Here is the adapter needed to adapt that large bore down so that the valve stems will not need replacing, was listed on the website that you showed, $2.99 each. Then while replacing tires next time have the stems replaced.

    I have membership with both, and have no regrets for either. I like getting the camping world discounts at CW instore, and since the 10% is offered at most campgrounds for GS, I just don't bother to ask for another. FMCA has a variety of benefits that CW doesn't offer, therefore I like both. And welcome to the forum!

    That style sensor is not round, rather an elongated style, probably the stem is too close to the outer rim and wont allow a straight screw on effect. most truck valve stems are made of brass and can be bent slightly for a better fit. Question for OP is, does a regular metal valve cap screw on correctly? If it does,, then you may be able to cover the cap with a short piece of rubber hose the same inner size as the outer of the cap, then carefully  with a pair of pliers bend the stem toward the center of the outer wheel to give relief for the tpms to screw on. If you don't feel comfortable with this task, take to truck tire shop and ask for help.

    Without more information about your awning, (model number) it is very hard to help get you any info to help. Here is a youtube video which might be helpful if yours is the same style. If you give more some of us may be able to help more, good luck.

    We prefer Hwy 41 or 301.  In April the Snow Birds are heading home! :wacko:

    If I knew where he is coming from, you can pick up Florida 100 at Flagler Beach or Palatka this will take him all the way to Lake City, or US 27 at Ocala or even further below, a very scenic drive to Williston then 29 to White springs, just below the Georgia line, either route completely bypasses Gainesville, which is where most congestion begins at this time of the year.

    This is not a troll, but sounds generic. The spark arrester on most engines, generators, lawn mowers, and other such equipment is a piece of screen wire in the exhaust pipe. It is there to thwart sparks from leaving the exhaust system and starting a fire. The spark arrestor can become clogged and cause the motor to run poorly or not at all if completely clogged.

    The Cummins Onan generator is equipped with a spark arrestor so that the unit can be operated legally at U.S. Forest Service sites. The spark arrestor is a filter screen on the muffler that traps burning embers or soot that could cause a spark and start a grass fire if allowed to exit the exhaust ports. While this is more of a necessity on a portable gasoline-powered generator, it’s not as pertinent to a large diesel generator. But the Cummins Onan QD has a spark arrestor, so it is a point of service.

    Look at the exhaust end of the muffler on your unit.

    So, it appears that the older members have a good plaque (Egg).  No one seems to care that the new members are not provided something that they can proudly display.  FMCA is a great group...why is this issue so tough to resolve?

    https://shopfmca.com/shop/ols/products/replacement-plates-set-of

    Go to the above site to order new plates, you will have to log into your fmca account to make the order. Not hard to do, the order will appear backordered, as they are made after you order, can't keep a spare set around for every member. Sorry yours were bad!
