Howdy, John Moses' model of 1911..................

If you ever do want to rely on battery power the 6v's have more cycles than 12's. You can re-charge many more times with 6's. The wordt thing you can do to abattery is run it or them down below 12v and not run them back up right away. Fully charge is 12.7v +.............

Howdy, I have 4 6's with a 12v auxillary, for 600AH reserve power. You just have to find a place with enough room for them. I put the 6v's in two semi sealed marine battery boxes and vent them into the stk 12v line. My rig is 5 yrs old and I finally had to replace them. One pair had 6yrs on 'em...

I have not been here for a while but could not resist this thread......... I have lived in Kalifornia my entire life. I was talking with an associate who works in DC and lives in Virginia. He is also a Kalif native. We talked about the quake, he laughed and said it was a way to go home early...

IMHO, just figured that one out, concealed means just that, concealed. When I was first issued my CCW it was a pretty straight forward process............ To start now would be a mind-boggling affair.............. As far as having a loaded weapon in the Horn why would you give LE a reason to...

I still will rely on my Winchester 1200's, 7 + 1 works for me. We use #1 buck vs 00, If I remeber right, I prefer 15 x .32 vs 9 x .38...............from reading Ruark as a child. The previous post stated that the weapon was not intended for hunting, the hollow ring sights make it a perfect game...

When my suspension went south, under warranty, Lippert sent out a guy to replace the whole program......... I can't say much bad about 'em......................

Yep, spend the pesos, it has been mild here this summer, it was 60 10 days ago and raining.......... Today it is 112............................

Re: Type of Grill ? Hey there, for short trips we have used a Masterbuilt stainless table model for close to 6 years, it is pretty much bullet proof. For longer expeditions we use a combo unit from the same manufacturer, out of Cabelas or Bass Pro....... We can grill or smoke with gas or...

Howdy, 6v all the way for us. Here is my standard info site for all things 12v............. http://www.marxrv.com/12volt/12volt.htm

Merry Christmas Larry! I have not seen you for a couple of years and know you were struggling even then. I have friends who have gone through what you are and I know it is tougher than "heck". I hope you are able to break out that big smile once in a while that you had showing me your rig. Best...

My registration is up in Dec, lucky me. When "Governor Moonbeam" takes over in Jan he will do all possible to make things as difficult as possible for us diesel folks. The "opacity" test was originally for comercial trucks only. The BAR lobby got the legislature to require the test, $%^@#$.

The better anodes are worth the money. When removing to change out or flush the tank, make sure the water is cool and open a hot faucet. There can be some pressure and the rod can come out with some "authority".

We use cast iron for most of our outside cooking, they are easy to clean. Usually we use a camp stove or BBQ, especially when dry camping........also when dry camping, we wash all dishes outside. We use 5 gal bottles with hand pumps, saves on average 5 gals a day. By using the jugs we can make...

Hey Chopper, you were lucky alright. I lost the right front on my rig a month or so back. The first bearing I have lost in 30 yrs or so. Mine made enough noise to figure it out pretty quickly When it went up on the lift, same deal, the wheel dropped down 1/2" or so. First time in a while where...

Howdy, I changed out the pump, it was leaking under pressure, and both thermostats, $800. I think the thermostats were fine, springs were good and no corrosion. The rig still runs lower than previously experienced, about 180D, instead of 190 or so. The temp does go up after a hill climb amd...

Howdy, here is a link to a site that has overrun inventory. They seem to supply most of the big retailers. Since the chairs are overruns the availability varies. http://www.macsports.com/Sports-Chairs-s/4.htm

Thanks guys, there are two thermostats to figure out, of course...............

Howdy, I haven't been here for a while. I have a late '05 Sierra, Duramax 4x4. Last weekend it was hot, 107+, and when I returned from an errand I noticed a coolant leak from the drivers side, but could not figure out where it was coming from? The hoses are good and no residual coolant any...

Howdy, I feel the pain of you folks "out in the middle". This is the coolest summer that any one here can remember! We are 45 miles from Palm Springs where they have had 110+ consistently for several weeks. Our place has been in the high 50's - 80's for the last couple of weeks, usually 100+ for...

Hey Ray, Macsports is a manufacturer and their inventory is produced by over runs of distributor orders, so they never have a consistent inventory. I have watched the site for fun and it changes rapidly....................The first chairs I ordered came back out of stock and could not be found...

The tag on the lounge claims 250# and we have had two people on them, over 300#'s. I think the disclaimer is for liabilty. They really are bullet proof...............

Howdy, I had a couple of chairs blown into the fire so I was on the lookout for some good replacements.............Here is the site that I found........... http://www.macsports.com/ Browse the sports and recreation channel....... We bought two lounges...

Here is my quick reference to all things 12 volt............ http://www.marxrv.com/12volt/12volt.htm

Howdy, I bought the CW unit, I thought they were using Ray's design.....................

We have a set and are happy with them. I don't think they help with stability at all, but they do increase the "footprint" so that we don't use pads every time we drop the hook. When the ground is soft, and we use pads, the weight seems to be dispersed pretty well and eliminates a lot of...

Stop gears are slipping!!!! Howdy, I have had the same symptom since day one, the gears finally stripped out in Death Valley two weeks ago! Luckily the rig was high enough to get the truck hooked up. The leg would not retract so I had to pull the whole ODS leg in order to get home. The...

I had to take the horn in to repair the ODS landing gear. The gears stripped and had to pull the leg in the field. Joe at J&L noticed the "boo boo" on the same side where a rock jumped out and tore a small section of the metal skirt. Rock attacks are quite common in the desert. He said that...

Upgrade Tires.........3670 RL. We had two flats / blowouts with the China Bombs. When the GY's were being changed out the difference was obvious. The tires were noticable heavier and the side walls were considerably thicker. We also have a TPMS that gives you a lot of confidence going down the...

Research The Serial Number......... Howdy, I do not reload but I do have an '06 that was handed down to me. It was sporterized back in the 50's and has been shot a lot. I would not hesitate to take it out and get some elk meat even today. Your concerns over the metallurgy of the action are...

Howdy, we stripped the gears on the ODS leg Sunday AM, had to pull the whole leg off to get home,&*%$. Fortunately it let go when the rig was high enough to hook up.................. One note, the gears were slipping for a while, I did not realize what the sound was............... It should be...

Howdy, the WIFI works the very best from the bar at the Furnace Creek Inn. I am not exactly sure why that is, but after exhaustive testing I am sure of it. Make sure you go to the pool, the naturally warm water is great, with no odor like mineral springs.........................

Howdy, the forum has grown since my first visit in 2006, for the better I might add. Initially most of the posts / questions were from people looking for solutions to problems, mine included. The discussions seemed to have evolved into more information sharing than a sound board for negative...

Howdy, I have posted this before but still find it valid. Our rig came with a 9100 series PD unit, with the charge wizard, which is the back up for the new unit. I went to a Xantrex inverter / charger with a 100A charge rate. We dry camp, mostly, and find the dual purpose unit really handy. Our...

Thanks Bob............................

No problemo nhunter, I hate to admit it but Ford seems to be doing a pretty good job all around these days. My contention about the Powerstroke's seems accurate, they need to have them in stk! HA! All kidding aside, caissiel makes a valid point, there should be something dependable available.

Howdy Ray, nope, he added air bags and a KN "type" air filter, other than that the rig is stock. The dealer made no noise at all about the air filter. We both talked about a tuner but opted not to for the warranty question. After I put on the AFE intake and cat back exhaust I have all the power...

Thanks guys, the truck is under warranty, extended I believe. He has talked to GM directly and the dealer has given him a '10 Sierra as a loaner. The rub is he does not have his rig to go to the desert with his SOB toyhauler, by the first of April the Mojave season is over, too hot. Thanks Bob...

This does not sound right, a friend of mine with a Chevy 06 DMAX has been told by Chevy / GMC that he can not get a new turbo until 3/28/10. You would think there was ONE available somewhere..............

Dresslers........ Howdy Larry, I have been using Dresslers for my hunting dog supplies for years. To give you an example, kennels are usually 10-20% less, Nemex wormer was $60, they sell the same product, labeled for humans for $18, and it is 10x as strong! They sell a wire folding kennel that...
