Re: Tire scam in Utah
Last year I noticed I was low on antifreeze. I took the pickup truck to a garage for a check up. After 10 minutes the service manager asked me to come and see what was the cause of my truck losing antifreeze. The mechanic had run a pressure test and he showed me plenty of liquid around the water pump. I needed a new water pump. The price was a over 600$. I went to another garage for a second opinion. After about 15 minutes, I was again led to my pickup truck to see the result of their pressure test. I could not see a single drop of liquid. Since I was still losing antifreeze, a few months later and almost 1800 miles further, I took it to another garage who ran the same pressure test. No leaking! Finally, at a 4th garage, after I talked to the manager about my experience/results of pressure test, he proposed to run a test while the motor was cold! He had found the problem and sold me a water pump that cost me 186$.386Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rochester, NY to Hobe Sound, FL

My advice is to take the 17, not directly from the 81 but from the 66. I did both.299Views0likes0CommentsNo AC power in some bedroom outlets
In my 2004 Jayco Legacy 5th wheel, I have had no power from two ac outlets for a few months, one from each side of the bed. Yesterday another outlet quit working. I measures 120 volts between the hot side (black) wire and ground. I measure about 80 volts and sometimes much less from the hot side and the neutral wire (white). Under the bed I have an electrical box which has some ac cables, the voltage is fine. One cable from this box goes to another metal box which I cannot reach unless I remove the mattress. There is also a round shape cable that feed the motor for the slide out, I presume. Plus there are some wires.... Any advice is welcome. Tks1.6KViews0likes8Comments
