I'm wondering what everyone uses to clean the garage floor in their Cyclones. Vacuuming gets the rocks, but what have you used to actually wash the floor and ramp door? dont really want to just douse it with a water hose. Thanks!

Ricatic, I couldn't agree more with your post. I have quite a bit of experience with chips/tuners on all different pickups, as most of my friends/co-workers have diesels and the first thing they want to do is go Fast! Some have found out the hard way that fast trucks aren't reliable. Since I...

Yes I do have a short box, the pin is 2 inches ahead of the axle, for this very reason. I think I might be needing some shocks on the truck, may be some of the problem. Also thinking the triple axle haulers would probably resist this type of movement more because of 2 pivot points in the...

I posting to ask what you all think about the way your Cyclone tows, both loaded and unloaded. Also, I'd like to know if you have/don't have airbags or any aftermarket suspension on your pickups. I recently made a trip with 2 bikes in the back of mine, around 1,700 lbs, and the rig was...

Re: EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: IA, Amana* - 10/1/2010 to 10/03/2010 It looks like I'll be in Cedar Rapids working all summer and some of the fall, and I think I'm going to stay at that Amana colonies while I'm there. It seems like they're the only place around that allows 50 amp, full...

When I winterized my 3010 to leave North Dakota it was dark and I just flipped the switch in the water heater cabinet to the down (I presumed off) position when i drained it out. It sat cold over Christmas for 3 weeks and when I set it up in Kansas yesterday I realized that it was actually in...

Ha just kiddin with ya... Can't beat the ride of a Chevy and you've got that Allison. I'm about to turn 100k on mine next week and hopefully it is with the Cyclone in tow out of ND for quite some time, the next job is in Kansas. Where are you at in Nebraska, my hometown is about 90 mins...

HT, it looks like you've got a bulletproof rig (except that D-Max!). I will definitely be putting insulation on the floor of the garage, that is very cold even with skirting on. I haven't got the itch to rip down the whole insulated underbelly yet, and I'm supposed to be out of here by Christmas...

I second that, Beulah was the first place I ever set up my Cyclone, or any rv for that matter. They were helpful and quick to answer any question I have had and told me to call if I had any problems with it, even though I didn't purchase there. This kind of person to person service means a lot...

The board is 1'' tongue and groove insulation board from Lowes. I just cut it to fit a couple inches up on the body, and at first it was held by the boards and packing tape. Packing tape doesn't hold in a 50 mph wind, and I lost half of it already once. Now I've got 1x2 inch stakes at most of...

Haha, I've had the long johns on for over a month, now its three layers and coveralls, no Harley riding going on here! It's currently -3 and feels like -17, and it feels about right. I'm working at the Great Plains Synfuels plant, they produce synthetic natural gas, as well as anhydrous ammonia...

Thought I'd post some pics of my 3010 all skirted in here in Beulah, North Dakota. It hasn't been above 10 degrees in over a week and I'm surprised how warm I'm staying. I'm glad that Heartland gave me good enough insulation and heat to stay out of the motels since thats why I bought it!

Thanks, do either of you have any pics of the upgrades? I'm sure it lights up alot better and night and during the day as well.

My truck is an 06 3500 Ram with a 2.5 inch lift, 35x12.50 rubber, and 4.10s. I've got an AFE Stage 2 intake, 4 inch exhaust w/no cat, and a MADS Smarty chip (70 hp), ISSPRO gauges monitoring boost, egts, and tranny temp. Weighing 24k (Cyclone, Harley, truck/garage full of tools), at 60-70 I've...

I was thinking about changing all my clearance lights over to LED and also adding another stop/tail/turn strip light right above the factory one. Has anyone ever done this? If you have, who's lights did you use? I'm thinking about using some from United Pacific or Maxxima, had good luck with...
