RE: Turn buckle contacting front dually fender..

Best to change your Facebook name to the proper spelling of Cummins, those guys are touchy about the spelling.

RE: Turn buckle contacting front dually fender..

The stinger is the male part of the system. Moor, why don't you post a pic, the stinger, of how you have it when it hits. Unless you plan to leave the stinger in place, why use bolts and nuts to secure it. A pin and a safety is the usual way.

RE: Bilsteins vs. OEM Dodge shocks

So do you have the air bags pumped now? Too much air pressure will give the effect you describe.

RE: Turn buckle contacting front dually fender..

If you switch the stinger to the other side of the truck so the tab is pointing the other way will it still touch?

RE: Auxiliary diesel tank

There is always someone who says who needs a bigger fuel capacity when there are diesel pumps aplenty. No one says you have to keep it full but it is there when you need it. A sixty gallon tank will allow me to carry fuel that I get for a much reduced price.

RE: simple back up camera?

You need to check which Go Pro will do wireless. I am under the impression that only the Black will but might be wrong.

RE: Dometic fridge will often go in 'check' mode while driving

If it goes into check while sitting still, invest into a dinosaur board, that will cure it. I would get one anyway, the box works better.

RE: Reverse Sensing System (RSS) - Need to Disable

While you are under the bumper splice in a in line fuse so you can disable when you want. Or better yet, splice in a switch.

RE: dodge brakes

Jefe, I pretty much guarentee if you add an exhaust brake, you will ask yourself "WTH did I not do this 4 sets of brake pads ago" (or something along those lines.) X2

RE: dodge brakes

Since the OP has not come back with details, I'll add my vote for exhaust brakes. I have a manual tranny and a switch on the stick. I find myself using it both on the road and around town. 90K on the brakes and still more to go. I just wish I could have one on the diesel Jetta. VW brake pads are softer and the way my wife drives they are doomed to a short life. Did I mention if I become a passenger I cringe against the door and tighten my belt.

RE: dodge brakes

The 460 is the best gasser Ford ever produced. I have had a few and still have one in a van. Just my opinion. The brakes on a 80ish van were the worst ever.

RE: dodge brakes

Well CalTrans has that section of Sonora Pass posted 28% and I can tell you with a big camper it is a grunt but not too long. The main thing is if you are climbing it make your gear selection (manual) ahead of time because if you decide to change gears while climbing you are going to be at a near dead stop before you finish the change. I have climbed a steeper one but it was short, on the way to Trinity Lake. It had the added attraction of going around a sharp curve and besides the TC I had a boat. It was a second gear climb and that was when I had my motor pumped an extra 150 hp and on diesel not biodiesel.

RE: dodge brakes

The OP needs to come back and provide more details. Till then I am tempted to call BS.

RE: shocks

If you purchase Ranchos make sure you keep the proof of purchase. They won't stand by the product unless you produce it.

RE: Snake!!!

Growing up on a ranch we killed rattlers around the living area. A working cattle dog is worth more than a snake. Rafting the rivers of Idaho I carried a snake hook to deposit the snake in the river in order let the current carry them away from people. The warm beaches we camped on were a big attraction to rattlers in the evening. Lewis and Clark have an entry in the journals about how many rattlers they encountered along the Salmon River.

RE: Front hitch carrier for spare tire

Man, I carry biodiesel on the front rack which is not too smart but a gas can, unless it was empty, never.

RE: Soldering instead of crimping

OK found a Ideal crimper, like the sargent, in the pawn shop. Still does not have the jaws I am looking for but I can order those.

RE: Front hitch carrier for spare tire

Nothing says you have to carry fuel in your spare tank, only when you need to. When you look at tire carriers pay attention to how sturdy it is. These wheels and tires weigh a lot more than the typical boat trailer wheel and tire.

RE: Soldering instead of crimping

Looked at the three links to crimpers but did not find any with a middle nib so guess it must not be a factor. The 3M did look like it might on the biggest opening. Still ever time I buy a item that has a good crimp seem to be better formed instead of mashed flat. Yea, I know, picky.

RE: Black Tank Rinser

That is about what I made Bob, think I'll cut the slit in the end like yours.
