SInce my last update of June 2018 I replaced the Cyclone with a DRV, 7-8,000 pounds heavier and a higher pin weight (4,000+). After 5 years the TS-3 is worn to the point that the clunking and banging got to be too much and the wear areas are all worn pretty good. My grease mods worked well with...

Look into whether it is a Ford goodwill thing that the 16's are covered or has the NHTSA issued or expanded the scope of the recall. Here is the text from the 3.2L reductant heater recall. OWNER REFUNDS • Ford Motor Company is offering a refund for owner-paid repairs covered by this program if...

The normal Onan 'green' generator installed by most manufacturers as well as Heartland is not a 120/240 generator. The two windings are in phase and output is limited to 120 x 2. You cannot get 240 out of the generator.

The opening underneath the generator is pretty much 'framed in'. The corroplast is completely removed within that frame. The air cooled Onan's intake and exhaust air from the bottom.

Sounds like it worked quite well. When I bought my first snow blower after a terrible winter it sat unused for 4 years, I thought it was a great return on my investment.

My theory?

Hey Jim, Did you come up with a plan for the Texas house? At our new house in lower Delaware I opted for a main panel interlock and a 50/240 receptacle on the outside of the house. I wanted to add one of those generator hookups that install at the the base of the meter. It took several weeks...

I am not going to suggest you do this, just what I would do. Open the cap, take a sniff. Bad fuel has a distinct odor. If I still had a gasoline gen I would add a can or 2 of Sea foam and then run the generator with a load until the tank ran dry. I've gone as long as 3 seasons when we had a...

I had picked up some of the material used to make the seats during one of my factory visits. I used that to have a curtain made for the garage. And I have no idea why this link displays a link different then my post from my original thread...

The winch was in the forward left corner, drum parallel to the frame rails. Cable went straight out towards center of rig, pulley for directional change towards the rear than up to that pulley on the condor.

I tried Cookie, I really wanted to road test the DRW with air ride , but there just wasn’t any around. So I didn’t have to settle :-)

Promote? I didn’t think so. But I am a user of Blue Sea products, and there are two things that stand out with their products, they are not the cheapest option and everything I have bought is top notch, high quality product. For electrical needs Blue Sea and Ancor are about the best you can buy...
