I enjoyed meeting many of you and helping others out.
I have decided I am no longer going to support the site as the site owners do not not want to police their site, assist in making it a positive place to be, and hold anyone accountable for breaking the rules.

How to diagnose a Ford IDI pickup that will not turn over or turn over correctly. (Van’s are similar.)
This tech article is to help those less familiar with how your starter system works. It will help you through a set of tests to help you figure out what to do when your truck will not turn...
This thread is how to set timing on your NA or Turbo 6.9 or 7.3 F250 or F350 pick up.
When should you check your timing?
Every 30,000 miles. As your pump and injectors wear, they begin to open sooner generally. (Lower pop pressure.) This changes your engines timing. As an IP wears it may take...
I have used a lot of brands of brake parts over the years with varying degrees of success. I also learned many years ago some of the best ways to avoid disappointment is to simply -
1) Ask for and premium pads, shoes, calipers, and drums. (Most parts stores sell 3 different quality...
I wanted to post this since it is a weekly question “who/where do I go for injectors and injector pumps?” I believe this has been posted by vendor but not a list.
Unlike a oil filter, ignition switch, or fan belt. Buying injectors and pumps at the auto parts stores or worse yet online have...
Recently while towing a loaded a trailer I came off the freeway off-ramp to find out my power assist brakes were not working. Fortunately the light was green, there was no one in front of me and I could just take a left at the end of the on-ramp and slow down to a stop with the 40% braking I...
Checking in with the membership. As usual CA likes to show off and push its own special agenda. It is already impossible to find ethanol free gas at a pump. (Can buy 1&5 gallon cans at $20 a gallon.) Now more and more corner gas stations are pimping only 20% biodiesel blends. So it’s getting...
Found this gem outside of Walmart the other day! Then thought damn, why did I not think to invent the 4th Wheel travel trailer! (Note the dually axle on the trailer.)
So give it some thought and post something creative like .
He must of been thinking while outside the box!

etrailer.com (Has most of what I am looking for.)
expediter.com (Have found they often have wheel bearings, hubs, and...
You all have seen it, mabye even did it. That vehicle tangle up with their jackknifed trailer blocking some of the HWY.
Thought you all might enjoy a couple of trailer crash video' I found on Youtube. (Links below.) Folks towing too much trailer with too little vehicle and some just over...
Show us a pic of your brake controller!
Tells us why you bought that one in particular. Then give us the pro's and con's.
I have the Tekonsha Prodigy 3 brake controller.
I bought this because I had a P1 and later needed electric over hydraulic. (P1 does not support but P2 and P3 do.) The...
Show us what you tow!
I tow -
1) Shamrock Boat which happens to be a Yanmar oil burner!
2) A Big Tex 16' bed car/utility trailer. Use for jeep trips and general hauling.
3) A Triton 20' bed snowmobile/utv bed over trailer.
How about you?

I wanted to give back to this community and share some valuable lessons I have learned over several trailers and tens of thousands of miles of towing.
Watercraft trailers unlike cars and trucks never seem to make it till 30,000 miles before needing brakes or 50,000 miles plus before needing...
