The passage door jamb is made of plastic and has broken on the door lock side. Are those available anywhere or does one fabricate a brace or replacement on your own? Any help is appreciated. Trailer model is in my signature. Thanks TomC
I have to replace some uv damaged vents atop my 5th wheel with a rubber roof. Has anyone used one of the oscllating tools with the flexible blade to peel back the lap sealant on the vents?Putty knives work but slowly and can cut the roof if not care...
The stove top on the Magic Chef stove has the porcelean damaged around the center high output burner. The cause seems to be that the burner is recessed too low in the stove. I wanted to replace the top but hated to until the cause of the cracking and...
Being somewhat obsolete myself, I found a NOS hydraulically actuated brake controller at a small town auto parts store. I have had them before on older vehicles and they work quite well. I have a '97 D2500 CTD and wonder if anyone knows whether the c...
I was just curious as to whether many folks use older trucks to tow their rigs. The price of new trucks is far beyond our means. Thus far I have had good results with my older Dodge that I have $8,000 in.

Don't worry too much about the 6.2 diesel. By now you have had the injection pump rebuilt and gotten rid of the assinine rubber drive in the pump. If more power is needed, get a Banks turbo kit. The 6.2 engines are reliable enough with care given to ...
I want to replace the rubber lines at the tank on my truck but with the 5th wheel hitch stuff, a bigger pain than I want to pull the bed. This is easy with the hoist in my shop except... Oh well, probably will have to repair alongside the road one of...
If the truck gets a good OASIS report, I would buy it. Then do as others suggested with fluid change and coolant flush. A coolant filter should then be installed. A bypass oil filter is also a good investment.FWIW TomC
