Re: Sask G drivers lic. Heavy trailer/farm plated trucks
romore wrote: Here a farm plated vehicle can only be used for farm business. Hauling your rv wouldn't qualify. Check with the DMV. Same way in the US. I know most states have laws about only using farm plates for farm business. I can't speak for other states, but that IS enforced in TX.499Views0likes0CommentsRe: Quick question from a n00b
It should plug in by the bumper, but be careful. If it's too short you can pull wires when you turn. I would add a trailer plug in the bed, it's easy to do and makes life way easier. Surprised the truck with tow package didn't come with it already installed. I bet it's wired for it, just have to add the plug itself. The bumper plug SHOULD be good enough to go pick it up then decide what you want to do.72Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2008 duramax and 2011 power stroke issues?

Pre DEF but injector and cooling issues solved. 06-early 07 is the sweet spot for duramax. They changed to the new body style with DPF halfway through 2007. They are referred to as 2007 Classic and 2007 NBS (New Body Style). Key is you want the LBZ engine. Fixed the injector issues, beefed up the cooling system, added a sixth gear to the transmission. Easiest way to tell the difference is to look at the little badge on the doors above the 2500/3500. If it reads DURAMAXDIESEL you are looking at an earlier model with the 5 speed. If the badge reads ALLISONDURAMAX then it has the six speed and LBZ engine. With that being said, lots of guys have had no issues with the newer duramaxes. The 2011-2012's had a few issues when they added the DEF system, but the vast majority of trucks seem to have few issues.405Views0likes0CommentsRe: Another GPI Pump Problem
ECI is the manufacturer of the fuel tank. They are out of California. I have dealt with them once and they were great. However, I doubt that is causing you to blow fuses, but it's easy to test. Take the suction line off of the pump. Go get a few feet of fuel hose, connect to the pump, drop the other end into a full 5 gallon gas can. Grab an empty 5 gallon gas can and pump the gas back and forth between the gas cans. If the fuse blows, the problem isn't in the tank. I'm gonna bet the problem is in the pump.475Views0likes0CommentsRe: E-Z Flex worth $80??
Wow, thanks for the feedback guys. Since I am going to do the job anyway to install wet bolts, looks like the $80 upgrade to the EZ Flex is a no-brainer. Nice to hear about it really reducing road shock. I tow with a short bed and autoslide hitch, so I can't use an air ride pinbox or anything like that. The only gripe we have right now is that overpasses and expansion joints chuck fairly hard. What has started this project is my left tires have started wearing on the outside. There aren't any suspension cracks or broken welds, so i'm thinking that the nylon bushings are worn out and allowing the wheels to get out of alignment. We have actually put quite a few miles on these tires and I will replace them next year, but I would like to correct the uneven wear.520Views0likes0CommentsRe: Second AC options on Puma Unleashed 356QLB

I had actually asked about doing that in a different forum and got no responses. Has anyone been able to do that and successfully get it watertight and closer to level? I would obviously be concerned with sealing it, since it is right on the front of the unit and rain while driving would be pushed against the wedged base.202Views0likes0CommentsRe: Second AC options on Puma Unleashed 356QLB
I have a split AC system like that in one of the rooms of our house. Have no idea where I would mount the outside part of the unit or how I would be able to run the coolant lines into the camper without it looking tacky. Don't think i'm interested in that option at all.202Views0likes0CommentsSecond AC options on Puma Unleashed 356QLB
Ok, I have a few questions about adding a second AC on our 356QLB. We live in west TX and camp in the summers here, so we have decided that a second AC is needed. 1. Our camper is a 30A service, which probably won't run a second AC. Should we look at converting the camper to a 50A service, or just run the second AC off of a separate cord to the 15A plug when we are at campgrounds? I am good at electrical work and have no doubt I could do the wiring, but what parts would I need to go 50A and about what would they cost? 2. Location of the second AC? The bedroom vent would be the easiest place to install and my first choice, but roof there is awfully sloped. I looked up the mounting instructions for a Dometic AC and they specify no more than a 10 degree angle. My roof angle is 14 degrees over the bedroom. The guys at my local RV dealer say that it will be fine, but has anyone actually done it? Second location option is in the garage. I do have the electric beds, which go up to close to the ceiling. Looks like with the AC in the garage, the only way to use the second AC would be when the beds are dropped. This would help us sometimes, but not when we have toys in the garage which won't let us drop the beds down. Who has added second AC's to their rigs and how/where did you mount them?1.4KViews0likes4Comments
