    I think it is a simple fix , leave the key on acc don't remove the fuse and add a charge line until GM decides to fix the problem 2 or 3 years down the road. I towed a 2010 4 cylinder Equinox with the oil drinking problem that GM finally admitted to the problem in I think 2014 or 15 but to late for me.

    I took the loss and unloaded on a dealer. I just could not sell it to a individual but didn't bother me to let another GM dealer have it.

    Looking to buy a 2nd smaller toad to use when I don't need my Silverado.

    I want to flat tow only and have looked at a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage that is a manual transmission.

    I never looked at the manual or asked the salesman if it could be flat towed and just "assumed"

    because it is a manual it can be but I don't see it on the list of ones in the FMCA 2016 Towable guide

    Anyone know about this model?

    I haven't purchased it yet and won't until I get a concrete answer from the manufacturer

    I can't find anything on the mirage 5 speed  but have a look at the Kia Soul it is towable in the 6 speed standard and lots of 2016 6 speed for sale for a little over $11,000 and you can install a OEM cruse for about $70 . We love our 15 it is a quality car built in South Korea . Have a look at autotrader.com and sort by price lowest.

    The aluminum tape was used to seal off where the register hole was cut in the duct line and it's getting old and turning loose, some of your AC air will bypass the register and go in the ceiling if not resealed with new aluminum tape. Just pull the registers and retape .

    Anyone know where he cheapest place to purchase the M&G system?

    Hoping someone has shopped around already.

    Thanks

    Yes call M&G direct and ask them about the remfg unit it's about half the price of new, the M&G is such a simple design that about the only thing that can give a problem is the O ring on the piston. There is a write up on IRV11 in the toad section with pictures that is a help if you want to do the installation your self, irs a fairly simple installation, one thing I would susgest regardless of who does the installation is to drive the toad a few miles without using the foot brake and check the temp of the rotors ( with a temp gun)to make sure the adjustments are not to tight.

    I should have checked the last page on the job completion before posting.

    I use 80 w90 and Lucas Hub oil 50/50 and can't see any reason to change the hub oil, my SILaw has 5 18 wheelers and they put a few 100,000 miles on them and never change the oil unless a problem.

    Do a search there are threads on here on the procedure to use in cleaning a rear radiator coach and cleaning the CAC and radiator is very important on all coaches but a must on rear radiator. I would also check to make sure my crank case vent is venting behind the CAC and radiator.

    I finally got it all sorted out. Had to open the slots on the front of the frame to get the nuts inside of the frame. Now just waiting on the light kit to arrive so I can finish the bumper fascia cut out for the light cord.

    Thanks to all for the input, it's really helps to have moral support.

    Jim have you thought about just removing the bottom grill instead of cutting the holes and when you decide to remove the tow brackets you can install it back in.

    Looking to see if anyone has installed a blue ox base plate on a 2008 Chevy Cobalt.

    Have run into a little snag as to the mounting of the nuts inside of frame, no visible holes to use.

    Did a search and nothing comes back so I thought I would ask members for help.

    Thanks

    I just looked at the installation instructions and what you should have is 9 ea 3/8 x 16 nut plates with a 14 inch wire attached to each and you just hold the wire and push the wire and nut into the frame channel then start the bolt ( be sure to use loctite and torque) after tight break wire off.

    John there has been some problems with the Roadmaster InvisiBrake while driving not hooked to RV, any dampness in the system or the wires to the system or voltage leak can cause the Invisibrake to engauge the brake just enough you wont feel it but when the rotters and pads will get hot enough that the car might lock the brakes up . Do a google I have seen a number of complaints on that system and some of the folks had been using it for a few yrs before it bit them. I hope I dont make anyone mad just trying to give a heads up of what I have seen posted and I do like Roadmaster Inc products and company a lot.

    Herman you have praised M&G so much and I have always liked the design I decided to remove my Roadmaster Brakemaster out of our F150 and I installed the M&G. I don't know why I waited over 20 yrs it was a easy install and works beautiful, the hardest part was locating the coolant tank and modifying the brace brackets. Oh, one tip to anyone that plans on doing a self install be sure to deplete the Vacuum in the brake chamber by pumping the brakes a few times with the engine off, please don't ask how I found out this.
