    Hard to light oven

    Hi Ken, I put an ignitor on our oven (we use it a lot). Went to a big box store and got one for a bbq and just followed directions. I could go on and on about installation and such but, it is not brain surgery. What is really nice is to find the 4 ignitor model and do the whole stove. Beats the...

    LT tires

    On our 2900MK after less than 2 yrs I was having tire wear problems with the Towmax . I did a ton of research and chose the TransForce HT. Because of spacing I had to buy the 245-75-16. I was so pleased I transferred them to our new 12k rig and still going strong. The TV received new Dura vis...

    ATF: Big Country - Hitch Receiver for Big Country

    I just clamped a 2" receiver to my square tube bumper and away I went. MY welds seemed to be a little better than some I have seen. I also took the batteries out of the golf cart and put them in the truck. Very little tongue weight. I can tell you by looking in my rear view camera that there is...

    Lippert Spring Slipping Back

    Had the spring break in the same place. Took the spring off and took it to a local spring place. They replaced the broken spring for 20 bucks. Might cost more if they had to take the spring off and replace it. At any rate it is not a big deal and all your springs are not shot. Catch a pot hole...

    Leaking when it rains

    A/C's are not caulked usually. Take off the fascia on the inside and you will find a long bolt in each corner snug them up some. The A/C is clamped on a foam gasket.

    Heading southwest to Apache Junction

    Took that route a couple of years ago in Jan. from Green Valley to Canyon de Chelly. Temps were in the 60's. They don't usually get a lot of snow up there. I would keep an eye on the wx though.

    Need help replacing water heater outside switch

    I've changed that switch a couple of times. The easiest way is just pry it out with a screwdriver. The replacement switch is fairly common. The RV repair guy was working across the street, he had a bunch of them.

    self adjusting brakes

    The outer part of the hub was hot but the center bearing part was not so much. Have a good feeling about that. I have an infra red thermometer why didn't I use it just for grins. That's the trouble with being a mechanical contractor I have so many tools I forget I have them. Now at my age I buy...

    self adjusting brakes

    Update. Went back and forth in my driveway while applying the manual trailer brake control in order to adjust the brakes a little that I had loosened to make the drum easier to put on. Then took it out on the Hiway for a couple of miles applying the brakes often. When I returned the brakes were...

    self adjusting brakes

    I've never been thrilled with my rv's brakes. So, I took advantage of Dexter's self adjusting brake special at the Gillette Rally. Spent the last two days installing same. (too hot in the afternoon) Found one unattached wire. No wonder my TBC kept going off and telling me I had a trailer wiring...

    Swivelwheel-58dw

    I hauled my GC home from AZ. I started to lose one of the windshields so, I unscrewed the rest of the screws and put it inside. There is just too much travel in the suspension so, you have to tie down the axle part. I watched mine in the camera and there is a lot of movement back there. I used a...

    TST lost connection with wheel while on the road.

    Driving home from our winter place in Green Valley, AZ we had our GPS, rear view camera, TST and they were all unhappy until I put the rearview camera antenna on the back window. I think all that stuff operates on about the same freq. YMMV.

    Looking for ACTUAL weight sticker

    IIRC the last couple of times I toured the factory they said because of new fed regs. the last thing as the trailer goes out the door it goes over the scale and gets its sticker. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Any experience with Spartan tuner and DPF delete?

    I can't speak for Spartan tuners. But, ON the Ford truck site Everyone raves about Mike Butler at 5 Star. He is a Ford pro. They do SCT tuners. Call 843-250-0499. He will give you the straight info. My SCT X3 arrives tomorrow.
