All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Checking wheel bearings....This guide shows what a damaged bearing looks like and what its cause is. I find examining the race to be more productive as wear and damage is easier to see on it than the rollers.Re: Observation on Dealer “Service Packages”I miss the days when you could pack your own muffler bearings. All the new cars use the maintenance free ones that cost 10x as much to replace.Re: Entering Canada with prior misdemeanor adjudication witihhelBest to deal with embassy and get it taken care of. While the border guard can make an exception at their discretion, even if they let you through it is a one time deal. (There is a border crossing reality show here and that issue comes up a lot. After the one time exception, further entry is automatically denied) Since you intent to enter twice (to get back) they would probably refuse initial entry to avoid issues.Re: Android Smart Phone with Dumb Owner, and 5 favorite appsI have several favorites but the most important is my security program. There are several good ones - I use lookout mobile security - it has the ability to track my location, make noise even if set to silent, scans all new programs, if someone tries to unlock it too many times incorrectly it takes a picture of them and emails it to me with the time and GPS location. Also backs up a few items - all free. A paid version has more backup features as well as the ability to remotely lock the phone and wipe all info (good if lost or stolen) A handy android tip: Your android requires a google account which automatically comes with google+ available. Even if you have no intention of using it as a social network it comes with 15GB of storage so I use it to automatically backup my photos and videos. (set to backup on wifi only to avoid data charges) If I loose or destroy my phone, my pictures are safe.Re: New Wheel Bearings InstalledThere is a certain satisfaction gained from doing a job yourself. You now know the condition of your brakes and bearings and can avoid worrying about them while on vacation. (Also, it's easier changing them in the driveway than on the side of a highway while wondering where to buy parts on a weekend.)Re: Campground = low income housing???They are as highly variable as anything else in life. If you are pre-planning a trip, google maps satellite view can be helpful or even street view if available.Re: Heavy duty 12v alternator?I recently replaced the anemic undersized alternator on my Ford 6.0 with a DC Power unit. Happy so far - puts out as much amps at idle as the OEM one did at driving speed.Re: direct tvCanadians aren't supposed to use theirs south of the border either. Heard of a snowbird who called tech support and when they found out he was in the US, they cut off his account. Might work the other way around too - FCC rules and all.Re: Inspection / wheel bearingsI agree with changing the races with the bearings. I don't know why they are even available separately. Roller bearings are contact items - everything your roller experiences so does your race. This brochure is a handy guide to analyzing the condition of your bearings.Re: Hyway 40 between Hinton and Grand PrairieOver the years I saw 1 black bear, countless deer, many elk, lots of rig pigs, several coyotes, some owls and an eagle. Still haven't seen a grizzly though.
