    • I love this idea! Could you please share more information about this filter? 
    • I appreciate all of the feedback. We will take the time to do the math. I believe the front axle is a 13.2k, will be able to tell you for sure tomorrow. The rears are MT-40-14x. If we do single I really want to upgrade the rear to a DCDL locker. Anybody done that upgrade? Easy or hard? Can the rear carrier be swapped out or is it a replacement axle? Not opposed to leaving tandem, just like the looks, additional storage and potential long term savings with singling, but ultimately will let the math drive the decision. I also want to factor in getting a different trailer at some point in the future. Currently have a DRV Fullhouse MX450 with a pin weight of approx. 3300. I want to make sure we will have the additional capacity for a heavier trailer such as a New Horizons, Luxe or something similar. Flying out tonight to Ft. Worth to pick the truck up.
    • Circling back to a post above, do some ciphering to be sure you aren't overloading the rear when hitched up.  Pin weight likely transfers weight from the front axle, depending on hitch placement. I can't imagine having the hitch far enough back to carry a Jeep, that you can even get close to being safe singled.
    • I agree. I hate it that some Dr.'s offices seem to think "Texting" is the way to communicate. I also dislike when they leave potentially HIPAA related information in a voice mail.  Any business if calling should only leave the name of the person calling, the business name and the phone number. Anything else is useless unless it's a question that has already been established and a simple yes or no type answer is expected.  Of course if they don't leave a message they don't get a call back. If it's a Dr.'s office I have no problem calling every couple hours if they haven't responded to a question from a prior call.  Rod
    • And is not just the phone, last night I received an Email from supposedly Comcast. I was on my cell phone and something looked suspicious, more than asking for bank info as my monthly payment was rejected by the bank. Viewing the email on computer, I could see the complete Email address which was weird. No problem marking as spam on two counts. I pay a couple dollars a month for a call filter on my wife's phone. All calls not on her contact are silenced but are received as a silenced call. She can easily figure out the medical related calls not in her contact list. A lot of peace of mind. Clay
