Re: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
Unfortunately this is what happens with these kinds of builds. Too much time taking pictures and posting things being glued together or a pic of a hammer when that time could be spent getting it done! It was good while it lasted though!1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Gulf coast things to do!
Thanks everyone. We had a great time. The beaches in AL were great, don’t like that they charge for parking though. FL and MS don’t charge for beach front parking! The shrimp festival was good, but only 2 shrimp vendors and a lot of random junk for sale! Still a good walk through. Traffic was bad. Do they really need to shut down the main road In town? It sure doesn’t look like it needs to be shut down! MS was OK, we aren’t gamblers so the beach was it for us. New Orleans? Sorry I wasted a 1/2 day there. We got there at noon and went to the French quarter. Stayed till 8 and came back to the RV. Me and the wife talked and left for Branson the next morning! We could’ve used that extra day in Branson or AL. Still a great trip though! Had a great time at 3 of the 4 places we went!1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Damaged hydraulic leveler hoses
I replaced all of my hoses last year, I also have hydraulic slides. Went to Pirtek where I got much stronger (higher psi) and better hoses. Cost me $1800 but well worth it. You’ll want to do them ASAP because if a hose blows you will have fluid everywhere! On my failure it was after a very hard dip on the highway which pushed the slide out out a bit and ruptured what was probably a bad hose (blew at the pump). The pump ran for hours till I realized what it was doing. The. I learned that the system requires pressure for the pump to turn off. This year the pump failed because of that failure. Pump is $1000!!!!! Replace them all now with higher quality hoses and not those from LCI/Lippert!908Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for LED headlight upgrade options

Ram LED bulbs How long have those bulbs lasted? It’s great to hear what works and what doesn’t. Also interesting on the type/orientation of the LEDs in projectors. To the OP I understand not liking the OE projectors. Yes they’re a bit better than normal old reflector lenses but not enough to matter IMO. I’m no headlight expert but IMO, basically any plain old reflector light with a decent LED in it is quite bright. I have had them for 4 years in my Explorer, 3 years in the MH and about 2 years in the Ram. No complaints.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for LED headlight upgrade options

TurnThePage wrote: I have projectors. I've perused all the Ram websites thoroughly and virtually nobody has had great success using LEDs in projectors. The light scatters. Getting an LED to recreate the halogen filament location is apparently much trickier in a projector. I have a 16 with the projector and LEDs and the light does not scatter. The reflector housings will scatter the light. The LED has to be mounted so the the LED chip is on the sides at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. The bulbs are adjustable so this can be accomplished. It also need the right LED bulb. It has to be the kind with just the 2 chips on either side. If it’s the ones that have about 10 LEDs all over it then the light will be everywhere!1.2KViews0likes0Comments
