RE: Rear view Cameras
I bought a rear view camera from rvcams last year. I have the 56-CHNV that cost me $349. I do not know how I lived without it. The sense of safety driving now is great, knowing I can see what is behind me. The system has the 5.6 inch color monitor/ audio and infrared.

RE: Any recent TV buying experience?
Just a little over a week ago I bought a Ford F450. I had to fight for the price. MSRP was $54,365, Ford rebates $6,500, dealer discount about $5,000 and they gave me $7,000 for my 2001 Silverado. I sold the truck to the dealer because I was concerned about selling it on my own, obviously personal choice.
I checked the price of my truck at KBB and got detailed pricing on the F450 from Edmunds.
Like said above shop for what you want and try to get a price that makes you comfortable. Don't be afraid to walk out and go to another dealer.

RE: Best tire guage to check dually
I just went to tire-pressure-gauge and ordered the guage for my truck. First site I went to wanted $99. As noted above this was a great price. Thank you for your help.

RE: Best tire guage to check dually
I looked at the psiclops web site and like the idea of balancing tire pressure of both wheels at the same time. A little pricey at $99 but looks good.

Best tire guage to check dually
What have you found to be the best/easiest tire gauge to check tires on a dually. Mainly the inside rear tires.
On my F450 the outside valve lines up with the inside valve but it is still a bear to get a good reading.
F450 door says 80psi in front and 75psi in rear....it came from the dealer last week with 90psi in all!

RE: Aux. fuel tank
This coming Monday I am getting a transfer flow combo fuel/tool box installed along with a new hitch (Reese 20k) in my new truck. The transfer flow has a 40 gallon tank which is plenty for me combined with the 38 gallons in the F450. I saw the combo at the dealer here and really liked the tool box aspect. This is their new model, all black and should fit just below the rails.

RE: How do you flip axels?
I will wait till I get the hitch installed in my new truck to see exactly how I match up.
I could not remember what needed to be done to raise the fiver.

How do you flip axels?
I did a search but cannot find the answer to flipping axels. I have a new F450, I don't have the hitch yet but I am guessing I will have to raise my Wildcat. Within 11 months I am getting a Carri-Lite but want to safely pull the old fiver till I get the new one.

RE: Purchased F450 today, should I get extended warranty?
Bottom line I purchased the extended warranty from Ford, to make a long story short I ended up paying $1,495 that included the tire hazard and immediate car rental.
Based on the original quote here in Charlotte I saved $250 and got more coverage.
Picked up the truck and it is in the driveway.....wow it is big!!

RE: Purchased F450 today, should I get extended warranty?
Well folks I have already settled on the price of the truck and that has been paid for/partly financed. I hear you talking about oil changes...I believe the oil changes on the F450 are at 6,000 or 10,000 miles, per their warranty, depending on how you drive. The powertrain aspect I will look into.
By the way negotiating for the truck was hard, true that trucks are moving slow but so are other vehicles....dealers are having a hard time right now and are cutting back on staff as a result. Bottom line is they cannot sell vehicles at a loss...somehow they are caught....tough one obviously.
For your info the dealer knocked off $4,890 + $6,500 in rebates from a $54,365MSRP. Additionally I traded my Silverado so personally I was satisfied with my final cost.

Purchased F450 today, should I get extended warranty?
Well it sure took me a while but I purchased a Ford F450 today. Tomorrow they spray in a liner and I pick it up on Friday. I'll post pics this weekend.
The dealer offered a bumper to bumper warranty for 75,000 miles/7 years. The regular bumper to bumper warranty is 36,000 miles/3 years.
Do you think it is worth $1,745 for the additional 39,000 miles and the additional 4 years?
Normally I would pass on these type things but this is again bumper to bumper. This is also my first diesel.

RE: Tool that dumps water off the slide awnings?????
I have the airwedge. Right now I have only one slide out. I keep the airwedge inflated and throw it on top of the bed in the fiver when traveling or parked at home. I use a step stool to get high enough to slide it under the awning.
