Well here I am again. At the campground looking for front truck tires i use my truck mostly to tow. So I have about 1000 miles on the front nexen tires since October. I’m looking for a good set of Michelins for the front about 100 miles ago I got a slight vibration. It’s gotten pretty...

Just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPNigacNtMg I guess a couple of tack welds would work and they could be easily removed with s grinder if any service needed to be done and re-welded. That is of course the nuts are still tight and the threads haven’t loosened up i think...

I have a 2015 3500 with about 29,000 miles (it mostly tows but I take it out once a month in the off season) last year I finally found what had been causing an almost improceivable shimmy in the front as new. Almost like I had picked up a rock in the tread. This year as I hit the Florida boarder...

If you are running low on battery during the night. You need more battery. If your running low over a couple of days. You might want to concider a small generator if your looking for more battery capacity. Looking at the lithium or even the AGM batteries might be enough. My flooded batteries I...

I agree with HD. Everything get the greaseable shackle bolts. Carefully hand fit the knurled shoulders into the existing frame collars and tap them in with a hammer. The knurled collars keep the bolt stationary so the shackle bushings ride on the greased bolts not the bolts spinning in the...

I agree about the ez lube i had them on a cargo tag trailer. As well as towmax tires. Never had a problem with either. But we where loaded about half our rated capacity im guessing as you load up to your rated capacity. Things change. Tires and seals take a beating and definitely upgrade to...

Yes. My experience was excellent as was the first reply the pdi was more info than I could manage but I got enough to explore our new cyclone camping for a couple of nights on their lot. There was close by shopping and great restaurants. I had some questions and we had a small water leak under...

I replaced all my keyed locks with the trimark key one system products i did look into rekeying all the locks to the same key but they are all different and got confusing. The trimark ark products fit with a little work. I had to use a dremel to grind the opening a bit and I needed to make...

Ya. I’m not sure how heavy my batteries are. But they are heavier than I’m comfortable with. But I do fill them with distilled water four times a year and I rarely use my 2000 watt converter without recharging with the generator before I get below 80%. I installed a main 150 amp fuse and pendant...

One of the first things I did was install two larger 6 volt golf cart style batteries and the appropriate battery box. I had to refit the vent tube what I found out is I barely have enough room to lift in heavy golf cart flooded batteries. Next time around I may go with agm i used flooded...

Probably water or fatigue. Its fortunate i guess it’s around a tie down if you want to try a repair rather than replace the wood. I’d try removing the tie down and placing a pan under the hole. And brushing g either minwax wood hardener or a slow setting epoxy saturating the wood. Reusing what...

Ya. My panel is also a bit off on a ‘14 cyclone. As I remember the directions said hold the switch for a certain amount of time mine works after pressing the button a few times and holding it down for longer so far I’m able to drain the tank once a year to refill with fresh fuel though I’m...

You can do some research on the fridge you own to find the current draw. And hopefully you can find the current required to start the compressor which is a very short and can often exceed the generator or inverter as it tries to start In simpler terms. A 2000 watt inverter in about equal to a...

If you install the wet bolts yourself. Check the bronze bushing. A lot of mine where worn or cracked The wet bolts have locking grooves on the shoulders. You want those to press into the shackles and not spin when you torques the nuts. This keeps the bolts stationary and the greased bushing move...

It sounds like your following the recommended wire size specs. I haven’t checked your particular inverter specs. But it’s inportant if you don’t already know about wire size and length that produce voltage drop that’s what the specs are about. If your wire is too small for the load which sounds...
