Consider buying a tuner to reflash the trucks ECU. Firming up the shifts by changing the pressure at shift and lockup will make the truck tow better and extend the life of the transmission. I towed a 7000 pound fiver with an 04 4.6 F150 for a year and while it worked, I'm sure the drive train...

Or...how about the manufacturer fixing it once and for all? :angel:

We considered the loft units, but found that the kids really didn't care for the tight fit with the ceiling so close. With the standard bunks they can use the bunks for reading, playing games, etc. They didn't feel that the loft bunk would be useful for much more than sleeping so we passed on...

Just for reference...this place is a repossession company. There will be no PDI...you bid, you win, you come get is AS IS and drag it home! Don't expect to be able to talk to anyone who owned it previously either....even if they know who the owner was they will not disclose it to you. This...

07 also probably means no warranty, but thanks...:rolleyes:

I'm very sorry that you've had some much trouble...I cannot imagine anyone going through so much and still remaining calm and collected.

While I can't speak to this Hensley product, the other Hensley stuff gets rave reviews. Check rv.net for a much larger audience and better chance of a reply.

I know nothing about this, but how does the federal emissions warranty affect something like this? Maybe your over the mileage or maybe the fed warranty doesn't apply to commercial diesel vehicles?

The tripods work wonderfully if used properly. They'll remove nearly all side to side movement from the unit. The trick is that you need to orient them correctly and then load them (weight) properly. I've shown many people at campgrounds how to make their tripod work the way they had hoped it...

I use a guillotine style hitch for just this reason. There is no doubt if it's locked in place and it cannot ever fail!

My buddy towed a 30' lightweight TT (7000-8000 pounds) for 2 years with his 07 Titan crew. He had no issues, but....when he traded the Titan there were serious issues with something in the drivetrain. Noises, grinding, etc. If you're going to tow with a Titan, plan on some problems with...

Nope. Plenty of V10 trucks working every day as rollbacks, tow trucks, construction haulers, etc. The V10 is known for 300,000+ mile service life with very few issues. Get an 05 or newer and you get the 3 valve heads and the TorqueShift transmission. Bulletproof.

So the published length numbers are actually inside dimensions? I was told that length dimensions are from the pin to the bumper. Is Heartland the only one measuring the inside? Confusing if it's true, no?
