I bought their AC manifold pressure gauge set and it exploded in my face, and I was using it correctly. It could have blinded me. Bought a 100ft #12 HD extension cord many years ago. First time I went to use it, wouldn’t convey current. Did a continuity check and one leg was defective. Took it back for exchange and because it was more than 30 days MGR said he couldn’t (wouldn’t )exchange it, although you could see it had not been used. His choice, been in a HB store once in the eight years since, and spent $7.00. Solution: bought new male & female plugs repaired cord, still using today. When will these places learn that we as consumers do have a choice where we will and where we wont spend our money.575Views0likes0CommentsRe: Air brakes on Towed

They will also set up the lights and charging line for the battery. Yes, we too had them do the complete set up, Hopefully you have come away with the same positive opinion of M&G factory that we came away with.734Views0likes0CommentsRe: Air brakes on Towed
M&G in my opinion is the way to go. As said, one air line and that’s it for brake hookup. Also if you can take it to Athens, TX, They are 1st class all the way. We are from N. TX, drove down day before, stayed at State Park a few miles away. Following morning drove to M&G, pulled MH in one bay, towed in another. While we stayed in MH We could watch installation as they installed Blue Ox base plate on 2017 Terrain, M&G brake system and air line on MH. In and out in about 2-21/2 hours.734Views0likes0Comments- 370Views0likes0Comments
Safety Chains
I have the Blue Ox safety chains, which have hooks on “towed “ end and threaded links on MH end, I assume there is a reason they are made that way. I have considered placing hooks on MH end as well in order to speed up hooking & unhooking. Any views as to why I should or shouldn’t consider this change. I don’t want to compromise safety for speed, but if it doesn’t, then I’ll opt for the time saved.1.8KViews0likes7Commentsinquisitive
This question is for those with Blue Ox tow bar system. When traveling and reaching temporary destination, ( maybe just a few days) do you always remove the spring loaded pins from the towed? I have always removed them when I unhook, but was wondering, what most others do. And do you have a reason as:to why or is it just a personal preference?

I too tow a 2017 Terrain. The owners manual states” Use of a shield mounted in front of the vehicle grille could restrict airflow and cause damage to the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicles warranty. If using a shield, only use one that attaches to the towing vehicle.” Have you considered a protect a tow? this would protect, plus allow circulation.544Views0likes0Comments
