RE: talking insulation: spray-in polyu vs polyisocyanurate sheet
I have read they make a poly spray foam that is fire retardant for use in enclosed areas were it would be difficult for someone to get out..the polyiso is some good stuff to use is what will be going around my refer unit do to it's fire rating..the only problem i see in using sheet foam is getting a tight seal..i had to use can foam on my bead board to tighten it up...my two cents..

RE: 12v electric.
sounds like your best bet is to just clip the wires and start over putting inside like a northwoods unit.. makes it alot easier later on

RE: Raptor SUV!!!
This is one fantastic vehicle. He forgot to mention the price but I would bet that it is well over $100K. It would have the power to tow just about anything but would lack the required GVWR to carry any meaningful loads. This is a rich guys SLUV(Super Large Sport Utility Vehicle);).
ArizAl
is listed below the video base price is $149,500.

RE: Fiver TV - 2002 F-350 Lariat 7.3L Diesel Dually
the 7.3 trucks are good... the transmissions need some upgrading to be really reliable the torque converters are not to good at high horsepower..it should haul a 41ft f'ver well enough..i worked on a 99 that was used to haul a d4 cat and a cat compactor to job site.. just don't try to tune it too hard..

RE: 5th Wheel Hitch-Rails
when I replaced the bent rails that were in my truck when I got it I just used 1/2" grade 8 bolts, lock washers and nuts and tightened them up with impact gun till they crushed the ribs down and they were still tight when I took the hitch out three years later..so would suspect your's were not tight enough to start with..

RE: Steering Problem With My 2005 Cummins "Shipping Crate"
sounds like the coupling between the p/s pump and vac pump.. turning and braking is putting enough load that is slips/grinds..

RE: 1997-1998 Fleetwood Caribou 11m compatibility
that camper weighs nearly as much as the dakota plus the base is 48" wide your dakota's bed is only about 46" wide between the wheel wells.. that camper is larger than my 11fk franklin and like mike mck i am going to a f550 for safety with mine..
so no it won't work get bigger truck or find smaller camper

RE: DIY Stable Loads?
you could try logging wedges.. drill through them to make a slot to clamp them on and they are available where ever chain saws are sold..

RE: '90 Chevy 1/2 Ton 305 V8
i had 90 extended cab long box 1/2 and the 6,400 gvw sounds about right.. i know it would haul that camper around it might not like it... i used to haul scrap in mine even had 2 tons on it once.. so i know they will move the weight.. if your going to haul it i would recomend getting some 16" wheels and some d range tires...

RE: Spare tire hanger ???
sounds like you bent something when you were hammering that socket on..those spare hangers are touchy.. get a new one from a salvage yard and be sure to check the cable for frays.. having someone's spare come out in front of you on the expressway is no fun..
