Pull, yes. Stop, maybe. Handle road impacts and pin weight, not a chance. We tow with the setup in the sig, and now that we actually drive with this combination for extended distances, we are looking to upgrade. It was fine for a summer or two, but now that we are actually putting some miles on...

Well, took a volt meter to the wires on the rear axle, nothin, nada, zip! I have 12V at the front axle. I am venturing a guess that the rear axle is daisy chained from the front one rather than ran back to the front. Are there any known palces to check the wiring outside of checking any...

Yes, however I noticed the amount of drag varies as the wheel turns. I backed off 7 clicks from lock up.

So I finally crawled underneath and adjusted my brakes (on one side so far). I had to go back and do it again since I had them way too loose so as not to lock up at all, even on gravel. Got it done the second time, tested it and it appears that I got it right this time. My question is this...

Also, if you time leaving great falls at dinner, the best steak we have had here is just north of town off the interstate at a place called cattlemans cut.

We live in great falls, and have made that trip a couple of times. It is boring. Following highway 3 to great falls is a shorter drive, but just as boring? Also, the predominant wind is out of the SW, so you will have a cross wind the whole time. And, if traveling this weekend, we have a...

Locks are put on motor homes to prevent movement while driving by people moving about the coach. Obviously not a problem with a tailer...

I currently tow an XLT 285BH with an F-150 with MaxTow package. This was the ONLY combination that would work on paper with a 1 series truck and a bunkhouse trailer. That said, in real life I tend to be over the RAWR by ~400 when ever we use it, I am under on all other ratings. That ~400 over...

Napa Gold for all filters if available. Most are made by Wix I believe, but a few $ cheaper most times I have found.

Same thoughts, jumping ship???

I was so ready to pull the trigger on a DRW, but I just cant bring myself to do it until this fuel pump mess settles down. I am not willing to take a $10K+ gamble on a $50K+ truck, even if i think my insurance will cover it (then premiums go up). I WANT ONE SO BAD!!!!

The OEM companion uses the 4 attachment points installed by Ford vs the single gooseneck adapter.

So I always hear talk of GCVW, RAWR, etc., but no one ever talks about hitch capacity much. I know what the technical answer is, but... I have the opportunity to get the exact truck I want, but it has a B&W turnoverball already installed. I was wanting the new Ford factory solution to get the...

I didnt see anyone mention the possibility of the high limit switch. That too will cause these symptoms. Happened to us last spring...

I mounted mine inside the front bumper. It is protected from any rain by virtue of location in regards to the hood opening. I didnt want it under the framerails in case we went thru some deeper than expected water.
