Jim, Yes, it was Elixir. Thanks for the info. Steve

The last time I opened my left side basement door, one of the shock stabilizers pulled out of the inside of the door. After further examination, I see the the entire door is rotted out in the inside. I looked at the right side, and it may be the same. I have tried to keep caulk around the...

I had a 2001 F-350, and installed a temp guage. When I had the trans flushed and filter changed, I installed a new aftermarket torque converter. The front trans seal was leaking and needed replacement. I also had an 06 Ford heavy duty trans cooler installed. It was about 3 times the size of...

Sears Compressor on Sale Just wanted to let everyone know that Sears has their 3 gallon air compressor on sale for $89. Normal price is $139, normal sale price is $99. I have never seen it this low. I have one and am pleased.

Here is a link to one similar to what I have. I bought one with the ability to tune also. It is plug and play, and you can get a matching pod (matches the interior of my F-450) that fits on top of the dash, just under the driver side grab handle. I had analog guages on my 7.3, no more...

That is why we put our 85 lb retriever in the trailer. He thinks he is a lap dog. He won't stay in the back on the floor, but constantly tries to get in the front seat. He is 9 years old, and in hind sight I wish we had spent more time trying to get him to ride in the cab. We do have a crew...

Overall, we are happy with our unit. I do think Lefty makes a good point. I have spent many hours changing and correcting things, like adding a brace to the fresh water tank, JT's, replacing tires, digital thermstat, the tent in the vent mod, extra rollers in the bedroom slide, opening up the...

Yes, we have a golden retriever and we put him in his cage right at the door of the trailer. He doesn't ride well, and tries to get in the front seat of the truck. We have never had a problem doing this. On longer trips, we let him out at the rest stops and give him water. Safer in the...

Walmart has the Ford oil filter with gasket, as well as Ford oil.

I have a BrakeSmart trailer brake controller for sale. It has been used for 2 summer seasons, and includes all hardware necessary for a 1999-2006 Ford truck. I bought a new F-450 with built in brake controller, and no longer need this one. This is by far the best controller I have ever owned...

I had the same thing happen to my 2001 F-350 at 20,000 miles. The dealer installed a rebuilt trans, and new torque convertor. I now have nearly 110,000 miles with no problems.

I have an 01 F-350 and had the same problem. It would only leak when towing the trailer, and when backing it in the drive, a slight incline. I always use 4 low. What I found was a bad front seal. The 01 has a very small trans cooler. I talked to Brian at BT transmission, and bought a front...

$4.04 at the truckstop where I buy it, and $4.19 at the local station.

Thanks LK, Exactly what I need!

I bought the portable 50 amp from surge guard after reading that answer, but haven't figured out how I can use it on a 30 amp service.
