  1. Local co-op's are the highest price fuel available. They make up for it with your membership cheque at year end. Watch your prices.
  2. Given the air consumption of true train horns, there's no way the tubing and valve size on the company brake handle will do more than an anemic "wheeze..." To begin with, train horns run around 150 psi tanks and compressors, some higher. Then all the tubing and connectors are 1/2", minimum. Size matters.
  3. You can see almost the same thing at most truck stops. Wind pushing trash around, what's left of people after the military industrial complex gets done with them. Depressing as all get out. Used to be a thing, but after our visit 7 years ago, not interested in returning.
  4. Go to any local auto parts store. Buy yourself a common Double Pole/ Double Throw momentary switch, rated for at least as much as the original switch. DC motors reverse by swapping the power/ground wires. 2 of the wires will go to the motor, the other 2 are 12v in, and ground. Connect the new switch as the old, rest easy.
  5. Each magnet coil is around 3 ohms, off the top of my head. Four magnets, 12 ohms. What is the display showing?
  6. "Well, while we're in there, might as well fix this" Just add another thousand.
  7. What's sold as "Train Horn" kits for the bro-dozer crowd runs at 150+ psi. The truck air system doesn't. More pressure makes a difference. Volume can help to compensate, but won't cure everything. Use the biggest hoses and fittings you can get in there. Use the next size bigger wire than the chart says.
  8. I want to say behind the glove box, with the rest of the electrical.
  9. If they cut it on the chalk line, it'll be cheaper than further forward, as the crossmember can stay in the factory position. If it'll clear the bottom of the trailer, leave it there. If it won't fit, sharpen your tape measure, and figure out where it'll have to move to. If it were ours, I'd tend to leave a little less frame hanging out, but I'd have to run the economics first.
  10. You got a leak in the system, somewhere. I don't know what the front tank runs, but it's in that circuit.
  11. Why would I yell? I'm not of the Boomer generation. As long as you're getting closer to a satisfactory place, I'm satisfied. If you retain something, even better, because I won't always be around to help you. Sorry, that slipped out.
  12. It does say that I'll probably be wrong, again. Spokane is too far from Leavenworth, but it could kill a day. Great Schnitzel, incredible brats. Riverfront Park and Spokane Falls is closer. There's a ton of winery and brewery tours, and I think there's even a distillery. Might say something about what it takes to live there.
  13. Bremerton ship yards, with the Navy tours. Space Needle. Boeing used to have a great tour. Downtown homeless camps. If you can't find something to do in Seattle, you're just not trying.
  14. Try it now. I copied off the browser window the first time. The edited post has the link copied from Vern's email.
  15. Posting for Vern:Filters

    Vacuum gauge

    Two options for a dash mounted vacuum gauge; air filter or fuel filter restriction. Sometimes they're disguised as a differential gauge, but it's still a vacuum gauge at heart. No manifold vacuum on modern diesels, all boost.
  17. All it costs is a bit of time. Just sayin. Jeep parts must have more oil in them, I do our fender flares about every 2 years, to get rid of the blotchiness.
  18. Propane torch, used lightly. It'll sweat the oils back to the surface of the plastic. A heat gun can also be used, but it actually takes more care, as the plastic tends to warm up more.
  19. I think I suggested polishing about 3 weeks ago. Just sayin'.
  20. You might be surprised. They're not supposed to be, but...
  21. Other than the title, is this a repost? I was under the impression that you had parts delivered overnight, and were just waiting for the store to open for antifreeze.
  22. Quick answer, the neutral (white) and ground are likely connected somewhere on the RV. The most likely place is in the breaker panel, but it might be in the converter, the fridge junction box, or any other place where connections might be connected incorrectly.
  23. Have you ever connected your phone to an open wifi network? How many hoops did you have to jump through? Wifi dash cams make it easier to download the data via your network (no wires needed), not for the tinfoil crowd to worry about. That doesn't stop them, but that's on them. If you're worried about The Man seeing what you've been up to, in the settings, turn off the wifi. Or, get the dash cam it's own little tinfoil chapeau.
