Stable Load Install

[big_whitey]

Long story short, the stable loads on my truck have failed. Tork Lift has graciously agreed to replace them with a new style. Problem is I am on the road and in need of someone to do the install. Does anyone know of a reputable place along I-10 between Riverside and Phoenix that would accept the shipped parts and do the repair.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Looked a bit more and found Sunbird RV in Indo, Ca. Phone num is 760-342-2442. Maybe that will help you some.

Big Whitey, I looked at the torklift website. There are several retailers in the Phoenix area and also in Riverside. Which one are you closer to. Knowing closer to where you are, maybe I could find one closer to your location and help you out.

2X Have them sent general delivery to a Post Office in the next town that you will be staying.

Did this when when I lost a contact lens on a bike trip. Figured it would take 3 days to get delivered to a Post Office in this region. Identified what town I would be in four days into the future. Rode to the Post Office and picked up package and could see again.

Easier to do General Delivery to a small town Post Office. In large cities, General Delivery may only be available at only one facility under the administration of a multi-facility post office, according to the USPS. Post Office Locator

what race? Don't you know about March Madness. I hope my post wasn't taken as offensive. I have a disability and was able to do my install myself, just takes a little longer. I was Just trying to help. Have a good day.

When you talked with TorkLift about the replacements, did you ask who may be an authorized dealer in the area you're currently in/going to?
They would likely have them on the shelf, be able to work out the RMA with TorkLift, and quite likely do swap.

This response is without a doubt the most insulting and at the same time aggravating post I have read in quite some time..

The original poster is asking a specific request for help.

So let's help this guy !!!

Not all of us can just jump under a truck and start wrenching.. I'm only 41 and will ask for help or spend a few bucks to have a HARD part installed.. I can only imagine a retired person or even a disabled person needing help on the road...

As an employee of a local government agency I work every day making the world more accesable via ADA requirements..

I didn't mean any offense. I was just trying to convey it's an easy install if the hole is drilled. If you can't lay down on your back, that would be a disability issue. I should have worded it wrong. If you are physically able to do it, I's personally recommend doing it instead of spending the money.

If you take offense to that, I apologize. And I'd also recommend you take some supplements to grow some slightly thicker skin.

^ Now that hat last sentence could be considered aggravating. 🙂

Its thick enough to call you out!

I aint skeered ...

I didn't mean any offense. I was just trying to convey it's an easy install if the hole is drilled. If you can't lay down on your back, that would be a disability issue. I should have worded it differently. If you are physically able to do it, I's personally recommend doing it instead of spending the money.

I'm guessing you just don't want to lay on your back? Because if the new style bolt on the same as your old ones, and the hole is already there, then it's like 3 bolts, and may need a pry bar, or flex the suspension some on a curb or slope.

1) UPS might hold them at their local facility
or
2) If sent US Mail, then have them sent General Delivery to a specific town and you go to Post Office and pick them up. I did that on my Alaska trip.

Could you ship them to a UPS store? Perhaps Mailbox R Us? An account may need to be set up. The stable loads are small enough to carry around with you once your get them. Any decent sized truck stop should be able to handle the swap.

You guessed wrong.It is not about laying or not laying on my back. It is about getting the parts shipped to a fiscal address which I can't provide on the road and hanging on to them till I get there. Also it's a little matter of having the right tools for the job which is an unknown .Most jobs are not as simple as they appear,especially when on the road. I know my situation better than anyone and feel the right decision for me and my circumstances is to find a shop to do the install,the search continues.

Are they the upper or lower ? If upper all you would need is an 11/16" wrench. Most RV Ctr.'s stock them. Good Luck

Unfortunately they are lower.
Plus I need an address to ship them too . Surely there has to be at least one reputable shop on I -10. ?? Sure wish there was a Les Schwaab in the area. I had some work done on my brakes in Fresno and all I can say is wow,customer service second to none.
