RE: Need help Windows Vista
If your going to run windows, it is best to not run in administrator mode. This will provide you with some additional protection. JMO

RE: Use of Cinder Blocks
I would use 6"by 6" treated wood. If you go to Home Depot you cab buy a length and have them cut it into whatever lengths you need. This stuff will last two lifetimes.

RE: I hate ants!! :-(
If they are the small ants, the terro works well. If large ones I have had good results with Boraxo. Just sprinkle it around and they will carry it home. Problem solved.

RE: Progressive RV Insurance Scam
Tough crowd here Surfride, but I tend to go with you on this one. If its not scamming, it sure is intentionally misleading if it states in the declaration "Replecement value for personal effects, and then in another sections stating a $500 limit. But hey if people here enjoy getting ripped, who am I to complain. So thank you for the heads up.
BTW I think an attorney would have a field day with this one.

RE: DEF, even dumber and blind too.
No harm? Did you pull the fuel tank and drain it?
There has been several reports of people doing that and blowing their brand new Ford diesels up to the tune of 10-15 thousand dollars. No way in heck I would drive it one foot without completely draining the fuel system and starting over if I had done that.
What he said X2
We all know that Diesel Exhaust Fluid is 67.5% water, and 32.5% Urea. Since water is the bulk of the composition on DEF; the areas of concern may be the following: (aside from the corrosivenes we have already highlighted).
1. Injectors may need to be removed / cleaned propertly.
2. All fuel lines, fuel pump, must be propertly flushed and cleaned.
3. Fuel filters must be serviced.
4. Remove the water fuel separator and install new one.
5. Remove and flush all existing fuel from the tank and inspect the tank.
6. Inspect fuel line assembly, fuel vent fittings; and hoses.
7. Address probem right away. DEF sitting in the engine will cause much more damage due to the corrosiveneness of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
Common sense tells me not to start the engine, and drain the tank immediately to avoid any further contamination.

RE: China Bombs Got Me
If I were purchasing a new unit, decent tires with ample ability to carry the weight would have to be part of the deal. And the n before it ever left the lot a TPMS would get installed.

RE: Sealing a leaky seam on my epdm roof.... what should I use?
I really like the Eternabond tape, but this looks like the Dicor would work better. If your not going to fix the damage right away, you really should do all you can to dry the area so more damage or mold wont begin.

RE: "Corps of Engineers" Camgrounds? What's that?
COE (Core of Engineers parks).
When the COE builds a dam or other project they own the resulting lakeshore, Every inch of it. They often set up camp grounds on some of the nicer spots along the lake. These are very well maintained as a general rule, sites are clean and level Usually have electric and water on site (Some do not) and a dump station or 3 in the park.
I've stayed at a few of 'em. Very well impressed.
OH, if you or your significant other has obtained the magic age of 62, or if you qualify for another reason you can get a "pass" (Interagency pass or senior pass) that gets you half off on camping fees too. Even nicer. Same pass works at many other places.. Admision to the Grand Canyon National park for example is 100$ off with the pass... You read that right.. FREE. Pass costs ten bucks.
And that is one time only fee as the card is good for life.
I thought that was such a deal I got one for the wife and myself just in case one of us wanted to camp and the otherperson wasn't available..

RE: Scan Gauge II
If you have an android device such as cell phone, tablet, etc. You may want to look into a bluetooth adapter that plugs into the odbII bus port. Then you can use an app called Torque that allows you to customize as many gauges as you like. The adapter available on Ebay for less than $20 and the Torque app which is $5 and your ready to go.

RE: Towing Shouldn't Be This Difficult - Help Needed
As others stated, get the truck working right first. Although not real bad, the weights you gave indicates more weight on rear axle than front, so drop the hitch down a little then put more tension on the WDH. You need more weight on front but if you just tighten the bars it will put more weight on the front end and also more on the rear axle.:W

RE: looking for switch to change hot water tank to electric
If you determine that yours is setup for gas only operation, for about $75 you can buy a device called a hotrod that will allow it to work in both modes.

RE: Added Value of Bearing Repacking
Just completed replacing my bearings and seals, along with putting on new brake assemblies on all axles.
My axles are E-Z Lube, but I have never used the system and preferred just removing and repacking the bearings in the normal manner.
During the process of putting the tires back on and cleaning the interior of my aluminium rims and tires, I noticed the left rear tire had a small blister on the interior side of the tread. I did not notice it when I removed the tire, as I was eager to move forward with the work. Must have hit something in the road. So I ordered a new tire, just to safe.
Yes, it was a greasy, dirty, and truthfully, a harder job for this old boomer than I remembered. And it took me longer than it did it a couple of years ago.
But I got it done. Peace of mind is priceless.
Yep and doing the job yourself you know how it was done. Chances are good that a repair shop wouldn't have noticed the damaged tire. Yes it does take longer when older, but I will be doing my own work as long as I can. 71 and counting.

RE: Jacking a TT question
I have always jacked up using the spring perch. I can't say that's it proper, but what I do and never had a problem. I can understand that jacking on the axle could cause problems.
