i hate to ask but can you afford to replace the truck or fix it if you buy a brand new 5th wheel? the purchase would seem backwards to me .

As soon as those timing chain tensioners and cam phasers start making your truck sound like a diesel or half the plugs brake off in the head when you're doing a tune up and you'll wish you had the 6.2. I'm a ford guy turned wrenches for them a few years even went to college for them but the one...

I've looked at a lot of trailers and 5th wheels lately in my opinion the newer ones are made cheaper and cheaper and last a lot less time . I see a lot more newer campers for sale with roof leaks and issues than I do older ones . A lot of delaminating and other issues that keep me looking...

I'm just relaying information but my 2 coworkers that RV looked into good Sam and passport Am they saw nothing it offered that their normal car insurance didn't offer for similar money and said their own insurance actually offered more than the others for around 15 a month . I don't know what...

If you checked the front end and there was no play then the bearings are tight . If you spin the wheels and don't hear any unusual sounds they probably aren't dried out or broken and if you pop the caps off and the grease looks clean and no signs of damage I'd say roll on 18 wheeler roll on :)

On a "year old " trailer like that my credit union would be at 2 percent I believe . Heck I have 3.99 on a 12 year old SUV . Credit union or the highway imho

3.73s put the diesels where they make power the most and on a gasser 4.10s typically ring that same bell . I am a big duramax/Allison fan myself even after going to school for Ford if that tells you anything and a big Cummins fan too . However if I were buying for myself it would be duramax they...

I really like the four winns liberators they really get my heart racing haha :)

most of the boats I like have I/o set ups I want plenty of seating ! Not a pontoon fan either . Is an I/o going to cost me more than an outboard ?

There's a lot of things you can skimp on wiring is not one of those things . Call an electrician .

in our fleet we recently got around 100 new vans for the workers they're running Goodyear tires a good majority of them have required replacement at 6,000 miles . Another kind of van in the fleet also runs a Goodyear tire and the sidewall is so thin were constantly going out to replace them...

I'm not a fan of Goodyear at all very poorly constructed tires short life span of rubber and tread wear .

Someone else posted this just a few days ago same situation you might search for it !

I haven't seen any tire these days that lasts 9 years I've got a set of 6 year old tires on my f150 and they're split all the way around please check the date code on the tire and let me know what it says I really would hate to see you have a blow out .

You're in for a big and expensive project . For starters all new tires I'm sure they're dry rotted and unsafe for a 900 mile trip . I'll assume it's carbureted if so it will need rebuilt And the fuel pump will need replaced because the diaphragms wear out when sitting dry for years . Tank or...
