RE: Hwy #20 from Anacortes into Idaho
Use extreme caution when approaching NewHalem.
It is a huge, notorious speed trap.

RE: Strange Ram 2500 Vibration
Had a very similar experience that went on for hundreds of miles and many hours. Then BANG! I nearly lost a back wheel. Looked at wheel and suddenly only had 3 lugs of 8 left and they were loose.

RE: Ucconnect? Worthwile?
It isn't worth it to me because anything I need is easlily available elsewhere. So I let it lapse.
So far haven't missed it.

RE: Rotella for GAS Engines
Rotella and Delo for diesels contain zinc to prevent wear of flat tappets although the level of zinc has been reduced as of late. Zinc will cause premature fouling of the oxygen sensor in vehicles equipped with them.
depends on which formulation you use. I've seen Delo and Rotella that is both C and S certified for the latest ratings. I believe that Rotella T5 is only C rated, at least that is what I recall when I last bought some.
If it is S rated for the latest S rating SJ?? then it has reduced Zinc.
With the switch to roller cams on OHV engines and the increase in OHC engines, few of the new vehicles have a flat tappet cam. But lots of cars through at least the 90's do.
That's what I wrote: "the level of Zinc has been reduced as of late".
Any level of zinc is bad for 02 sensors and that's why it has been totally removed from all gas engine oils for modern cars.
(Yes, I know there are specialty oils with zinc added for old cars)

RE: Exhaust Brake Buying...
The OP's 2006 Cummins is FULLY exhaust brake ready. Valve springs and trans are built for it with no modifications.
I've had a Pac "brake" for more than 10 years without any issues.

RE: Reese River Nut #58507 undersize - too loose for 75 ft/lbs
They do not "require" "rivet" nuts. They tell you to use them with tubular frames rather than bolt through them and risk collapsing the tube. That would lead to loosenes.
If you have a C channel frame you don't need them.

RE: Bathroom Sink Faucet
You don't need to worry about dimensions. Faucets either have 4" (bathroom) or 8" spacing (kitchen).
Your faucet has 4" spacing and any residential faucet will work fine.
Or, you can use any single hole faucet with an escutcheon plate to hide the unused holes.
Hmmmm I have 8" center lav faucets :h
There's no law that says someone can't stick a kitchen faucet in a bath.

RE: LP Detector
I am testing the power-on timer theory with my new one. I'm disconnecting it every winter for about 6 months.
We'll see if it lasts twice as long.

RE: 2015 Rockwood Windjammer 3025W - 30 or 50 amp service?
This site link lists 50A as an option along with second AC- kind of a bundle. Mine was listed the same way.
So if it says second AC, it will be 50A.

RE: 110 outlet with 12 volt socket?
It's (safely) done all the time with 5V USB charge ports and 120V receptacles but I don't think anyone makes a 12V/120V outlet combo. Probably just not a big enough market for them but I could use one as well.

RE: 50 amp cords
While the dielectric grease may make it easier to get apart it actually hurts your electrical connection. Dielectric grease does not conduct electricity.
Fortunately this is a myth.
Prove me wrong :)
Go out to your rig yank the battery cables. Gob the grease on. Then put the cables back on, hit the starter. Again. Again. Twenty times. Then grab a brewski and wander around for the rest of the day scratching your head. A year later you'll remain wondering how and why.
Theory always takes a slapping when it faces practical experience.
It takes no effort to prove it doens't conduct electricity. Simply stick the leads of an ohm meter in it and measure.
Besides, "Dielectric" letterally means that it doesn't conduct.
I made thousands of dollars off guys that slathered that stuff on connections in avaiation. I have no doubt in my mind that it causes the problems.

RE: Outside wall damage advice
Filon repair is not difficult or time consuming for those that know how to do it. I had a couple of spots fixed by my dealer who has a guy come in once a month just for this pupose. Same guy goes around to a bunch of dealers.
They had the trailer 2 days - mostly just waiting for temps to warm up in the shop.

RE: Honda Generator EU2000
Mine did that too from the time it was new. Honda test-runs them and lets the fuel dry up in it.
Ran 1/2 bottle of Seafoam in it during a 5 hour run and it was fixed permanently.
