Ahhh... EDPM. The wonder drug! Rather than go out an buy a bunch of single-fingered latex gloves or get the 'snip-snip' operation to stave-off unwanted children, just slather on a couple coats and I'm good for about 10 years :D

I met a couple who bought one of those triple axles in Airstream form. Those things weigh in around 10K#. At first the couple had a 3/4 ton diesel, but the ~1,400# tongue weight was too much for it. Upgraded to a 1 ton and still complained about the tongue weight. Started to go after...

Welp... That project is toast. Next...!

Even if the P-400 is salvageable, would leave it for scrap it as I am convinced that anything Penninsular touched only helped spread a plague of misery. Glad that everybody (and critters) got out Ok.

Here is recent experience with a big name steering box (the blue one): hit-and-miss. Bought one early last year and had to replace the unit after maybe 500 miles or so. Waranty support was good, but did not pay for my shop labor cost. Second one seems like it is holding up a bit better, but...

About running a filter upstream of the LP. Yes. Been there without. Don't install the filter anywhere other than upstream of the pump. Nuf-said. As part of the install, consider sacrificing some sort of rubber-ish material and sandwich it between the pump and rail. Shop that did my install...

Rainy days are one good reason for the dinette. No wet keester from sitting on a waterlogged picnic bench. Another is that the dinette is usually directly across from the galley which in turns makes it available for a bit more counter space during meal prep. Sure, no big deal if it is a...

Blackberry arguably cracked the door open to what we now know as a mobile device or smart phone as it integrated the mobile phone with an ability to access the Internet (over what was known at that time as the cellular network) and install Apps. Raspberry Pi is good at performing task oriented...

Have followed the micro PC sector for a while. Love the concept. Whenever it came time to replace a desktop, pricing of reconditioned full sized computers on Overstock won-out over new price of anything else. Have looked into Raspberry systems which also have a small footprint, but at the...

Good input. Seems the difference in experience is that I am using the spray-on stuff. Rather expensive product for not lasting much over an hour. Will try the paint-on product and see if it makes a difference.

Am surprised that the truck is not shifting funky. When the Burb's ECT sending unit in the crossover started to fail, the ECM commanded TCC unlocks and downshifts in an apparent attempt to warm the motor when the computer thought that the coolant was too cool. Replacing the crossover ECT...

Last I checked, opinions were still in development about the Endurance. Agree that it is the best of the bunch, but that does not seem like much when it comes to ST tires. Given that, I moved to LT tires. Yeah, I know, they are not rated for turn-out and there are plenty of haters about using...

From the risk of insulting the better expert perspective. Might consider double checking the trailer's tire ratings. Not all have a 75 mph allowance. And last I was in California, there were signs on the highway that stated anything with a trailer was limited to 55 mph. This actually caught...

Yeah, there was a V8 craze a while ago... It kind of died out about the same time that the big hair rockers started to get haircuts.

IIRC, Retrofit Source has some videos on reworking lenses and it seems that most methods involve baking the assembly for softening the lens-to-body glue. Once the glue is soft, it is a matter of prying off the lens.

The 2 blade deck has a high lift blade option for mulching. I used them, once. They created so much airborne dust that my nose ran for half a week and co-workers wanted to send me home as they thought I had the flu in the middle of Summer (not kidding or exaggerating). Seeing as I am not a...

Definitely an idea. Am not sure that TwistedSteel's oven is big enough for the 3 blade deck though ;) Back story to why I tried Slip Plate was that when the grass gets wet and/or long enough, it takes a lot longer to do the lawn as it will completely pack and clog. Sure, I could invest in a...

Experience with the spray-on stuff is not good when it comes to mower decks. Product is the Slip Plate spray. Expectation was to either minimize or prevent clumping of grass as even when the lawn is dry, the grass has enough moisture in it to clump on an un-treated deck. The first...

After drinking coffee for two hours, that certainly is enough incentive to water the plants. Just don't let your neighbors see you!

Unless I am missing a couple of things... Am suspecting that the clutch still needs a fan on it for a resistance load. For the sensor port, why not use the existing port in the head above #8? No drilling or tapping necessary. Just remove the plug, install an OE ECT sending unit (sending unit...
