RE: Where should the water go...
My Tub will fill up with water when that happens only did it once from then on I watched for it to get full it takes one time to learn that it can overflow, water is going to back up in the drain pipes when that happens, a fan and maybe a electric heater can help dry it out, it will take a few days to get it taken care of, good luck

RE: Microwave broke, do i need a special one to replace it with?
You have to find one the same size that will fit in the cabinet, it will plug in on the back side and held in with a metal clip in back and 2 screws in the front, they are much harder to get out than putting back, mine quit one time and the fuse in it had blew replaced that and was fine,that was 8 years ago,

RE: Radiator Question-need advice please
You not knowing where the leak is , it can be other things beside a
Radiator, on a Ford block the freeze plugs are a candidate to leak,
the water pump can leak, their may be a freeze plug in the back housing that can leak, it could be a head gasket bad, you need some one to take a close look at the motor, not just jump in and replace the radiator, unless you see a leak coming from their, and Bars leak on a radiator will work, you need to get it inspected I would say,
RE: Help identify my hitch please
Rise the little handle up and turn it around to the other side of the flat plate and it unhooks the king pin, have it in that position when you hook up and it will flip around to the locked position again when you back the pin in the hitch then lock the little lever back down,
Thanks for that info. I did raise the little handle. It looks like there should be a bar or something that goes inside the handle.
after raising the little handle up crank it around Counter clock wise
that unhooks your pin on your Fifthwheel, have it in that same position when hooking back up and the little handel and crank will snap to the front side again and then lock the little handle down again
RE: Help identify my hitch please
My new 1999 F350 came with a 5th wheel hitch. I see no label of any kind and I'm hoping someone here knows what type of hitch this is. I'd like to find out as much as I can about it. I do not see a release handle anywhere, so I really need to learn more about this hitch. I have some photos of it HERE.
Thanks
