    Excellent guide for rig and truck weighing!!

    This works ONLY if you remain factory standard! The main problem with pulling is torque and pin weight on the axel. Dual wheels provide zero as far as pulling, in fact it pulls less (more weight), it allows for pin weight only, BUT not on the axel (only the wheels.) I guess most people believe...

    Get rid of those coyotes and other varmints.

    We shoot them every weekend here. I use ONLY a .223 with a 1/9 twist and hit at about 575 yds every time. Had a custom 22-250 but the expense and the amount of shooting we do drove us away from it. We shoot rabbits (jacks) and chucks on odd weekends and call in the dogs on every other. We...

    Gas Mileage towing a fifth wheel

    Actually the best towing engine ever made was the true 7.3 Powerstroke which ended it's rule in 2000 and gave way to the absolute crap as the 2003 (most worthless powerstroke ever made) and future years. Want a real deisel get a cummins and hook it up with an Allison tranny on a Ford chassis...

    Have you ever been sent to the scales by law enforcement?

    Be very careful of ANY exhaust brakes UNLESS factory. They will absolutely blow out your truck if not installed exactly right. After all the problems the aftermarket brakes have had and the problems they have created it is amazing to me that people still buy them!

    could be almost anything. I would be willing to bet it is not broken but maybe loose. I would guess seperation in the OSB (oriented strand board). If it is plywood it may be a football or a void in the lamination. It can be checked from the bottom......wouldn't worry too much. We fix many...
