Re: Michelin Tire Pressure
Forgot to add this: yes, my wife and dog were in the vehicle which is on a E450 chassis. also had a full take of fuel and all other tanks were probably empty. Sorry for the confusion. We just got back from a trip to Canada and I am not thinking properly.563Views0likes0CommentsRe: Michelin Tire Pressure
thanks for the replies. I took my rig to a CAT weigh station and that is where i got the numbers. As far as relocating items, that would be difficult. In the back I just have clothes and under the bed I have an aluminum folding chair and other items like TP and paper towel. I have 2 larger compartments on the outside. One toward the rear where i have a BBQ, a bucket, soap and a few other light items. I do have a foam mattress which is heavier than a normal mattress. The other compartment is directly on the rear axle where I have a tool box with a small amount of tools, a socket set and leveling blocks. None of these items can be moved to the smaller compartments outside. I will read the postings above to better understand them, but it appears my biggest issue is that I did not realize Michelin's numbers were per tire so I would need to double the number stated to verify the limits.563Views0likes0CommentsRe: Car towing
you did not mention the size of car you want to tow, but we purchased a 2012 Ford Focus. It needs to have a battery cable disconnected when towing, but Roadmaster installed a solenoid that i press to tow. one feature i like is one can drive up to 70 MPH. of course i drive in the 55- 60 mph range, but when i see a big hill ahead, i will get to 70 to pick up speed.500Views0likes0CommentsRe: Oil Consumption-2011--V10
pauldub is right. the first thing that needs to be done by a Ford service center is to do a consumption test. This involves an oil change and a mark is put on the dip stick. Then drive 500 miles and have it checked again, then again at 1000 miles. If consumption is seen, the engine is removed and valve seals are placed.441Views0likes0Comments
