    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I had to look that one up.....you are right, better hunters is a benefit. They are considered lucky!! And here I thought it would be due to neighborhood in-breeding...cookoo I think the wife would be ok if cats showed up on our property. But she doesn’t wanna go buy them and neither do I...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Supposed to freeze here in a couple days, so I filled the van from Jerry cans, added some Optilube Winter and went on a 30 minute gawking session. Exercising both the CC and AC of course!! Parked it, added lights to the engine bay, interior and mouse traps set. They are moving in hard right...

    @IDIBRONCO how did you load some of those rounds? They look huge and heavy!! Were you able to just roll them?

    Traveller Smurf (Cubey's '89 van)

    And 16 mpg (double) while traveling 10 mph faster!!! Course, no kitchen or bathroom.... After looking at it, the PS was my biggest concern but @Cubey said once filled it didn’t use any. But @IDIBRONCO is right, no issues, how about little ones? Door seals leak, sway bar bushings, what about...

    Traveller Smurf (Cubey's '89 van)

    I have always been advised to stay away from the big pumps simply due to the amount of volume and foam they discharge. It seems no one here warns against that, so are the big nozzles just fine to use, or do you guys avoid them IF possible...?

    Timing, VCDS, and blah blah computers update

    Around here there is pretty much no stop and go unless mud slides or an accident blocks the road. Traffic always flows so we have ideal roads for mpg. 45-60 almost everywhere within 1 hrs drive. I know the gal I sold my bug too dropped a couple mpg, but that could be driving style. Let us...

    Reconsidering my RV setup

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but those pressures on the door are figures for safety at Max GVW. You don’t have to run them at that pressure. I certainly don’t when not heavily loaded. I find a balance between comfort and handling without too much sidewall bulge as that adds a lot of heat. I like...

    Sorry about the MAC troubles with VCDS. I run it on an old windows 7 computer that I don’t hook to the internet

    Timing, VCDS, and blah blah computers update

    @rreegg what is your ALH getting for mpg currently? Also if your on your 3rd belt change, get the high mileage kit and make sure to get new bolts for the motor Mount bracket that bolts to the motor on the acc side. They also have non-stretch bolts now for the IP pulley, I recommend those. I...

    Reconsidering my RV setup

    The false high top is typically a way to conceal a bunch of surveillance antennas and such. When I bought my van, I saw one with the fiberglass removed. Top was filled with Antennas. Maybe when I cut my top I’ll get lucky like Cubey and have just be blank up there.

    WTB Clean ‘93-94 Ford F250/F350 IDI 4x4

    @Jesus Freak and I thought the price was quite reasonable after the other outlandish ones I was seeing west of the continental divide. Although still too rich for my blood!! I wonder if I get a bounty, or a finders fee!!! Maybe they will buy one of the cheaper reg cab 4x’s and it will end up...

    Reconsidering my RV setup

    I just love airlines!! A business with a customer service department solely to earn a “checked” box and nothing more. Unless I have to cross an ocean, I prefer to drive!! I was on nightshift with a departing flight at 8 am. I’m headed back to SD from CO, no place exotic. I get an email around 1...

    WTB Clean ‘93-94 Ford F250/F350 IDI 4x4

    @tjonesdfw did you find what you’re looking for? I was browsing CL today (don’t have FB) and found quite a few factory TIDI’s. I searched the major cities working from Denver to PHX, the LV to OC and up the coast north to Seattle. I guess search tempest would have worked well also...

    Reconsidering my RV setup

    My side and rear windows open too. But I’m a hot head and sleep really warm. Hopefully your experience will be different!! Also if you go full build out, please make a thread!

    Reconsidering my RV setup

    A lot of the yards around here I get better results when I call. Heck you could prolly just jumper it with a paper clip to get you buy for the few passes you’ll have to climb.

    Reconsidering my RV setup

    I hope there’s shade, cause until you do the build out, these vans get hot quickly. I tried sleeping in mine on night shift, I had shade most the day, but when the sun hit....oofta Conversely don’t sleep on an air mattress. Your body will never warm the air and you’ll be miserable all night...

    Reconsidering my RV setup

    Temp gun? Anything to road side repair the power steering drip? Or just keep it full and resort to manual steering if you have a failure...? OD on/off button? That would be of high priority for me.

    NV to UT road trip

    That sounds like Iron Mountain Road. Depending on direction, did you get out and look through one of the tunnels? It’s aimed and frames Mt Rushmore just perfectly as you drive through it. What about the curved wooden bridges on that road....the beams are just beautiful and a work of art. Yes...
