    Can I ask what you do about the tire monitor system when you run less air pressure ? I already picked up a screw in a tire ,when the air pressure dropped to like 47 LBS the monitor took over my center dash thing . It continuously showed all 4 tire air pressure . thinking this will be a PITA in...

    HillBillyRV Build Thread - 87 Ford E350 Quadravan Pathfinder Conversion

    O this is going to be fun Jacob . I don't know how much propane you will be using . I had a VW Realta that had an outside built in tank ,I noticed it was way cheaper to fill it up then a 20 LB bottle even though it was bigger. Like less then half think 9 bucks compared to 24

    Well unless you are going to pull a big 5th wheel trailer cross country ,I do not see the economy of a diesel. Are local Flying J is charging $ .22 cents a liter more for diesel then gas .That is about 88 a gallon . So if you say buy a diesel and get 20% better mileage but pay 20 % more for the...

    I think if someone is going from an older half ton to a new 3/4 you will not see much of a difference in fuel consumption . Not only are the motors more efficient but the transmissions have more gears and better lockup . Real world dumb guy thinking is this . New f 250 at 60 mph is turning 1500...

    Well I have two weapons against bad gas mileage . One is my wife's Jeep Renegade. We use that to get the groceries and go out for dinner that kind of stuff. Second I have adopted the view that I am retired and do not need to be in a hurry. So i lock my cruise at the speed limit and sit back and...

    Well you should get what you like and gives you confidence when driving . My choice of a 250 came after I blow the rear end this late summer in my half ton ,total rebuild needed . Then on the way to Expo East the transmission started acting up. By the time i babied it home it went bang and had...

    How hard could it be? My home built pop-up camper project

    Great looking camper . what did you use to glue the TrafficMaster on with ? and did it go directly on the foam or plywood .Thanks
  16. M

    Favorite glues for XPS foam.

    I think PL300 is meant for foam. but I never tried it on aluminum ,just wood and concrete. easy to get at big box stores .

    Ford Superduty Tremor "off road" 2020 F250/F350.

    No it is not a Tremor and it is a gas job . I guess I am just saying the truck is specked out to be used as a heavy duty plow with a slide in sander unit . these packages put it in between a 250 and 350 in load carrying capacity . I know you guys are after max off road ability and I was looking...

    Ford Superduty Tremor "off road" 2020 F250/F350.
