    Checking trans oil level

    Don't know if I'd trust the E brake cuz it hasn't been used since I bought it and am willing to bet I'm not alone. Nonetheless, can you do the same test by keeping foot on the brake or using wheel chocks?

    Checking trans oil level

    rhodies1, Like travelin2, my '17 has a dipstick on top of engine next to firewall. So while some or newer trucks may not have therm (like some cars/suv's), others do. My question is, what's the best way to check level for those that DO have dipsticks when the owners manual says nothing on how to?

    Oil Temps

    No. The installer tossed it. No fault of theirs as they didn't know this issue would happen and neither did I. Flog says that are not aware of any issues and go onto say that how they make them so more air enters than the stock bumper does. I agree more air probly does flow in, BUT it's not...

    Slides not retracting

    Is it possible the slide breaker is going south? Sounds very similar to what happened w/ours. Replaced breaker w/ more robust one, problem solved.

    Oil Temps

    Just wanted to give a follow up so far. I've been in contact with/ a local metal fab shop, but he' like many others are swamped but said he can fab something up.

    Big Country

    I leave ours retracted while at home because we may not be leaving again for sometime on next trip. IMO, this way, the seals are not exposed to the sun and slides out making for a wider unit in the event of strong winds.

    Gen Y gooseneck

    CW put on what you requested. Yes they should have perhaps questioned you, but if you bought it and asked them to install it, they did do what you asked them to do so how can you go back against them? Perhaps a call to LCI to see what gooseneck will work if any. If another brand is suggested...

    Brakes Not releasing

    I agree w/ hoefler as this happens often w/ our semi trailers and dollies. Can't remove the wheels, but we hit the drums in a cple places and that frees things up.
