    Thanks for the quick responses...You have given me some good leads to check out. I will be making some phone calls tomorrow. I could just buy one locally, but wanted to get your opinions on what you have seen, used, or heard about. Thanks again Maxtor

    Bicycle rack

    It is getting closer to our departure for our trip and we had a 2" receiver welded to the frame of our 5th wheel. We are now looking for a bike rack that will hold two bikes, that will fit the 2" receiver. Anyone have a good place to buy one? Any preference to the brand? One ladies bike and one...

    For those born from 1930 to 1979

    I would agree, but I think the time periods are off. I would say born between 1930 and 1959. It changed drastically after 1960. I am glad that my mind works part of the time to remember the great times we had as a kid. People had a lot less, but were more happy than today. When we were kids, we...

    Who is parking their truck today?

    Aklim; I know you are posting what you have read, but what I am saying is do not believe everything you read. :)

    Who is parking their truck today?

    All of us that are quoting numbers, really do not know for sure. Only the profit figures that have to be public should be accurate. Companies juggle their "numbers" for their benefit. To say they made 9% or 15% is just a wild guess compared to the actual figure.

    Who is parking their truck today?

    Yep,,, I agree... I also think that as per other posts, the ONLY way we are going to get prices down is to boycott one company until they lower their prices. They will lower them because they will not want to go out of business. I don't care which company is boycotted... They are all equally...

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    You are absolutely right. It doesn't matter who we target, but if we did not purchase from one of the companies, and if they wanted to stay in business, they would have to reduce prices. Exxon, Shell, it does not matter, because they are all equally guilty. If you want to start it, I am with you...

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    I have not bought diesel since January. I still have around 104 gallons in the truck, and do not have any plans to drive it in the near future, until April 21st. We don't really need the truck unless we are pulling the 5th wheel, so it sits. I did start it up today to get the fluids moving...

    update on peanut

    Hey Bill; Just an observation, but we have the same harness for Luke as you do for Peanut. When they get over 1 year old, with that harness, they pull the wife around as if the wife is on roller skates. If they see a cat, they get 20 mph bursts, and it is funny to see the wife holding on for...

    i think i broke it

    You now have joined an elite club.. Many bike riders have done what you did. I am glad that you heal fast. Later on in life, that does not occur. Years from now, you will be laughing about it, and telling how it happened around a camp fire somewhere around Mojave or Bishop. :D

    New Member needs help

    There are advantages to having an automatic.. 1. Ease of operation. 2. Being in stop and go traffic, or traffic gridlock. 3. Living in a place like San Francisco, where you have steep hills, and you need to take off going up hill pulling a load. If I lived in San...

    New Member needs help

    I also have a 6spd, and it is not meant to drag race with it. Put it in first (lo)and go 10 ft and shift. What our 6spd PSDs are good for is towing and getting good mpg. Also very good at going up or down mountains with a load, by down shifting easing wear on the brakes. With the manual, you...

    '06 6.0 Fuel Gauge?

    Since new in 06, I have never run our main tank (38 gallons) below 1/2 tank. Now that we have the 74 gallon in bed tank, we probably never will. 19 gallons equals 351 miles on our truck empty at 70 mph. Pulling our 5th wheel 100 gallons equals 1400 miles at 60 mph level ground, no head wind.

    Time to tighten the belt

    Hey Crumm; Sorry to hear about you selling your boat. The economy is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. It is nice that you have toys to sell. There are many people that do not have anything to sell and they are about to loose their jobs and homes.

    Newbie needs tree pulling advice

    Best tree pulling truck I know of. My dad told me that many years ago, they had a huge dying oak tree in his home town by the tracks, and city officials were figuring out how to get it down when a engineer told them to wrap numerous chains around it and hook them to the back of his train...

    Inverter generator for camper

    With everything being equal, most 6 volt batteries last longer than most 12 volt batteries. Remember you need space for two 6 volt batteries to supply 12 volts of current. How long can you run an inverter depends on your usage and your batteries. That question is like asking how high is high. If...

    Inverter generator for camper

    Bush the only bad thing about that is if you want to watch TV, you need to run a generator or hook up to electricity. We have the two Honda 2000i generators, that are very quiet. At night when you do not need the a/c, 2000 watts is adequate to run most everything in the rv. We ran one Honda for...

    superduty problems

    06, F350, 11,000 miles, no problems. They must have built mine on a Tuesday. Continental tires are wearing fine so far. Limited slip works fine. 4x4 works fine. Egr and turbo works fine. Fuel mileage is great. Only happiness here. :D
