I'm a Dodge veteran; my last motorhome was equipped with a 413 four barrel. 6-7 MPG. About a month ago, I observed three youngsters climbing under their elderly class C on a Dodge chassis in a parking lot in Banff. It had to be an early 70's at best. They were from Quebec. After a bit of a language barrier, I discovered that they were coming down a long steep grade, and their brakes began smoking -- wonder why? After a long examination, he had discovered a loose piece of rubber which he removed, thinking that was the issue. I explained the smoking issue, gave him a quick lesson on descending hills, and pointed out that the rubber was on one of the drag links. Why was it loose, he asked? Because the vehicle is worn out. Anyway, I suggested that he grease it as soon as possible, and take it easy on the brakes. I was young and daring once too.
It's old-timers like you, way back when, that helped me get where I am today.
