Re: Tire Pressure Monitoring System for FW
I currently use the TST 507 and have had it for a few years. I purchased the repeater and placed it in my 5ver's front basement. I no longer have any dropouts. I power it directly off the rig's 12V battery. I just have to connect/disconnect the power, which is part of our checklist.964Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Tires
I kept my 6 yr old Westlake "G" rated spare under my 5ver. However, I bought a new tire and wheel, along with replacing the 4 tires on the rig. Replaced the Westlakes with Hercules H-901 STs. So I now have 6 "G" rated tires. I carry the new 6th tire in my rig's basement. I hope the Hercs perform as well as the Westlakes did.506Views0likes0Comments- 584Views0likes0Comments
Re: Do you always have to pay inside at Truck stops?
There are semi drivers that are worse than RVers at the truck stops....ask me how I know.....one that comes to mind: 2 truckers were BSing with their cells phones, when I asked them if the one blocking me could move up, he just looked at me, and continued BSing with the driver next to him....I had to back up and change lanes.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Hope this is OK for this forum - DEF question
X100 Lantley....the lack of a gauge or even a dipstick is the dumbest, cheapest thing......I think on the newer trucks, they now have a gauge. On the topic of DEF mpg.....I for the most part, only use my truck to haul my 5ver, I keep detailed records on a spreadsheet and I get about 450 MPG of DEF. Lastly, I asked my salesman where the DEF fill was....and I did tell him that was a stupid place to put it....he said how some folks not paying attention were adding DEF straight into the fuel tank (which I did read how that was happening early on).220Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hope this is OK for this forum - DEF question
My GMC has the DEF intake under the hood.....I don't even mess with the DEF Jug's spout. I take it off, use a flexable funnel (has a long tube). Wife holds funnel and I pour. Works great and she doesn't mind helping out. I do have to stand on a small stool, which we carry in the truck.....we also need to use the stool to reach lock/unlock our hitch.220Views0likes0Comments
