    Irregular tire wear on steer tire

    One of the problems with irregular tire wear is that it continues even when the "problem" is repaired.  That's why it's very important to catch it early.  This is the place that can repair it right the first time.  Worth the drive from anywhere you are!

    Tires

    I would just stay away from the Chinese tires.  I've seen some very bad wear patterns with them that cause significant ride and handling problems.  I personally have switched all my vehicles over to Michelins, but some other good brands are Hankook, Toyo, Continental, Bridgestone, Yokohama, and...

    Bad to fill with garden hose?

    I have a filtration system in the MH for the drinking water.  I also keep about a case of water in the fridge, as I like cold water and am not a fan of ice in my drinks.  At home I can fill a pitcher, yet I found on the road in Louisiana, an open water pitcher in one's fridge can result in one...

    Class C over cab window help...

    If the windows are flat, I don't think the thickness will matter. To me, it looks from the pictures like there is a rubber seal around them.  Then it looks like they tacked that wood on the bottom to further hold it in.  If that is the case, you should be able to pry up that wood, then pull...

    Buying a Journey DL 34HD

    If you can take it to a good Truck Alignment shop, they can align both axles.  They will check that the steer axle and rear axle are properly aligned together.  This will normally cost around $250.  The back axle out of alignment can cause not only that problem, but irregular tire wear as well. ...

    Total rebuild

    I really am enjoying your pics and updates.  That's a great job you're doing with it.  And I always figure that no man, or woman for that matter is guaranteed tomorrow, so it's best to enjoy today. I hiked up Angels landing at Zion National Park a few years ago.  I really enjoyed it, but don't...

    Blowouts

    As a truck driver, I have had blowouts on tires at 55 mph.  But they were all older than 7 years.  Now with my own company, I don't run recaps on my equipment and make sure no tires are over 7 years old. Trailers have the same tendency as RV's, they age out before they wear out usually. ...

    Where do journalists go to school?

    I thought they all were graduates of DNC, proud alum that send in their contributions religiously.  That of course, stands for Democratic National Committee.  Please, no hate mail, that was just a joke.  ;)

    Blowouts

    Well, even with a TPMS I check the pressure manually before each trip if it's been stored for awhile.  But if everything matches up, and I spend more than a month out, I check manually at least once a month.  Low tire pressure is the number one killer of tires, but running tires exceeding their...

    85 MPH in Montana?

    Sometimes in West Texas I'm running down the road in my truck, with a gross weight of 80,000 lbs, praying that I make it safely to an exit with a safe building to go into, and I see RV's on the road, and I'm thinking what are they thinking?  They have a choice and they choose to be out here in...

    85 MPH in Montana?

    I don't think it does.  I think people want to get where they're going as fast as possible, and they don't care about the carnage they leave behind.

    Watch what you say on line.

    Yes, do to all the information on me on the web from the many government contracts, and other business I've done, I sometimes wonder why I continue to bother with shredding my address on my mail before I throw it away.  And any web search will bring more up on me than I would like.  It would be...

    Still here, decided to just start new thread

    I'm praying for ya'll.  I've been through that, and now though, it is much better.  But it really rips your heart out, and stomps it.  You're trying to do the best you can for them, and they seem to hate you for doing it.  For my parents, I think they were just going stir crazy from lack of...

    Still here, decided to just start new thread

    I would encourage you to stop by "The Cloisters"  http://www.thecloisters.com/ My parents have lived there for almost 5 years now.  It's a wonderful place, the only thing is they don't take Alzheimer patients.  They have a dining room where everyone  eats.  And I think it's like a park...

    What have you carried in the past that you no longer do?

    I have used the Chainsaw, and extendable pruning sheers.  ;) Come-along, interesting, I wonder if the CG would let me fence in my site?  I have a couple of those at the farm, barbed wire, posts, clips, oh, but then I'd need the clip pliers as well.  :-\
