Re: Why is the Hemi Going Away

Why don't you come up here and show us how it's done. Seriously one of the most ill thought out comments I've read on here. Why not go with the conspiracy theorists that the government started them as well to back the theory of climate change. Give your head a good shake.461Views0likes0CommentsRe: New to diesel fuel

These vehicles were all driven regularly so tje fuel was always new. DEF will eventually expire. I would fill your tank if it's going to sit for months. wouldn’t it be better to not fill the tank so you can put fresh stuff in when your ready to go again? Diesel does not have the same characteristic as gasoline, particularly ethanol based gas which attracts water. It stays "fresh" for just about forever in a sealed container. You want to fill the fuel tank though as an air space helps to encourage the growth of bacteria and funguses which can play havoc with your fuel system. I use an additive which also discourages that from happening but it's not an issue if you are going though fuel every week.369Views0likes0CommentsRe: Leaf Spring Failure - Replace the Others?

Broke one last year hitting a nice pot hole. Replaced all 4 including one axle that was starting to lie flat. Age and mileage wear them out.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: its about time
If it is not super important to camp in July/August it's pretty easy to get a site at any of the popular camp grounds in Ontario. We really only book on the shoulder seasons now and leave the summer to families willing to put up with the crowds. June, September and October are still pretty awesome and most certainly quieter. BTW if you enjoy interior canoe camping there are no restriction's for that. Normally I'll tie two weekends together for that type of camping.752Views0likes0CommentsRe: stuck dump valve

ktmrfs wrote: while bleach is a good and quick way to sanitize, getting the bleach smell and taste out of the system, especially since some of the materials absorb the bleach to some degree, I don't use bleach. I'll fill the fresh water tank of approx. 35 gallons, add a cup of regular white vinegar, let sit for an hour or so then run it through the lines. Bleach smell and taste is gone and the vinegar only last for a little while then disappears.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Help with identifying delamination / water damage
