I live in Idaho and leave my BIGHORN at my daughters home during winter in Port Angeles Washington. Went up during Spring break (she is a teacher) picked it up and headed home. Went from Port Angeles WA via hwy101 to Tacoma then to Portland then to Boise then home. I must have seen at least...

lady figures are great.......just kidding. Put your 5er on the truck, lift the landing gear and take a string and run from the bottom of the tire to the bottom of the trailer and buy a flap that touches the line.....................SIMPLE!!!!! No rock chips or damage from then on.

on the road that connects them! Am I missing something here???????????????

LAZYBOY.........a bit heavy but hey once its in the yard WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I for one would not by underwear if it was made in China. NOTHING they make is worth the loss of jobs in America..................................just my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: don't follow the advise of tourists! I flew a UH1C gunship (lo0ng before the Cobra) and fired darts (flashetts) a mighty nasty piece of firepower. Makes an ugly scene of a human being. Still have dreams about it.

We make specialty quilts for all of the rigs out there. These are super quality hand done quilts that match all decors. Want to by at WalMart then we can't help.....want a real quilt that will be handed down for many years let us know!

we make quilts (50 years) and cover chairs to match...................sell many of them!

anti sway that Reece makes for the side pivots to keep them level on the highway? Cost about $40 and keeps the side pivot from working while going straight?

SUPER SWAYS with a sway lock on the mount and air bags...........................done NO PROBLEM!!!!!!

YES! Compression release....all the same. It can severely damage an engine if not correct to a fault!

thanks.....I wil also write it on my rig......I have CRS!

Anyone know the torque for the wheels on a Bighorn 3580? Thanks

Drive the 5th wheel! Don't drive 75mph! Be careful and you will do fine. If someone is telling you that a 350 is going to stop a heavy trailer better than a 250 say...........NOT EVEN A CHANCE! Use a progressive controller and drive it like it is a 5th wheel. Ever seen someone pass you by...

Feel lucky you don't have the 2003 6.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated as the worst engine ever made for FORD!

Be very carefull about Jakes on non-commercial rigs (after-market)....if not installed absolutely correct you will do serious damage to your engine. Be very careful what you buy and WHO puts it in!!!!!!!!

DON'T do it !!!!!!!!!!!

We do chairs and quilts!

Want to find the best sights inYellowstone and Jackson (also the Hole) give me a call. I am not a tourist here, I live her and have for over 50 years. I am a member of this site and just want to be given the same assistance somewhere I have never been. Most tourists can't tell you the...

Lived there (Fairbanks) for many years (22) and my first trip (1967) on the ALCAN was all dirt and gravel. Now it's all paved BUT watch out for the heaves. Be very careful of those that offer assistance along the way. I have driven the highway 19 times, always a great trip.......stop at Lairds...

USAA insures my BIGHORN at $227.00 year

more like 465 ft/lbs of torque...................765 ft/lbs is cruise for a freightliner. An Allison can't take that much..................READ ON!

When you are quick to respond PLEASE give us all a detailed explaination of what your truck has! The builds, the extras and anything that makes it something that is not standard! ALL and I do mean ALL the responses here follow the "it is factory standard" and "why would I change a factory...

I have NEVER bought a new truck! DO NOT want to take the loss. Went to look at a 2008 F350 DRW Lariate package with 4950 miles (yes 4950 miles) and they wanted 43,000.00. TOO MUCH!

I really never thought about differential temp...............how hot does it get???? Very confused about this.

Re: PULL DOG hit the nail on the head Not sure what you mean by buit in air conditioning but here are the specs: Trip 1 FORD ATF Idaho to Port Angeles WA ..........trans temp average 197 degrees (through Oregon and dead mans pass) OAT 88 F Trip 2 FORD ATF Idaho to Port Angeles...

Ususally there is a SAT for the living room and then another for the bedroom. Remember the SPLITTER you talk about is not called that when you are talking SAT, The cables that run SAT are far differant than cable!

Here is what I have done to my 2000 F250 7.3PSD. All work has been done by a master mechanic and all items have been very researched prior to installation 1. Diablo 45 HP chip...enough to help but not too much to hurt 2. Oversized Transmission Cooler (2 of them) 3. 4 inch exhaust system from...

Ambient +100 is standard and is about correct for trailerless rigs. I changed to Amzoil (No I am not a salesman or fan) simply because of a friend that stated it dropped the overall temp X 50 degrees and it did. The Ford OD off (trailer mode) is great below about 60 MPH but above we can't deal...

I use Amzoil (not a salesman and not a fan) just found it to be the best for heat reduction. We put the ATF in the transmission simply because we were told it would drop the temp........it did by about 50 degrees overall. Who knows, but at the temps we reach pulling these 5ers it is a comfort...

deisels pull a lot of power from the batteries (that's why there are two of them). I have changed my 2000 PSD batteries 4 times. I live near Yellowstone and the winter is very cold (cold soaked.) Don't let the doomsdayers make you worry!!! If you bought your deisel to save money on...

Pyrometer, boost and trans temp......enough to scare the daylights out of you!

By-pass is nothing new, been around for many many years! I have long hauls with over 100,000 on the oils. I have a 7.3 PSD (year 2000) with 85,000 miles on the same oil, sampled at 10,000 miles and bypass filter and standard changed at 20,000. Dropping of pressure is a new one to me, never...

Maybe what we could do on this site is to leave the MPG blank and allow the watchdogs to put in what they consider true and to the point. Actually I have attained 18.6 mpg, the worst being 11.5 but none the less 18.6 has been the case. Have you bothered to check out what my truck is, how it...

I pull my 3580RL with a modified F250 PSD. I have installed an oversized transmission cooler, a pyrometer, a boost guage, a transmission temp guage, a 5" exhaust system, a severe "Donaldson" air cleaner system, Firestone air bags, Super sways, diablo 85 HP chip, superbuild transmission, 10 ply...

by the way MPG is 18.6 with a Heartland Bighorn behind..................................OK!

a 2000 F250 with as of 2/26/2010 a total mile accumulation of 273,678.10 and going strong!!!!!!! Of course it is an original 7.3.

The axels are EXACTLY the same....no matter what someone has t5old you......I worked for Dyna for 40 years
