    ...and square off the cut for any excess or ye shall be cut in the future.

    Grip close to the lock end, twist, don't cut. Never get scratched again.

  2. Are you scrolling through the available sensor readings, or just reading the pre-programmed display? Our ScanGauge D had multiple points able to be programmed to display on the home screen, but I'm not familiar with the KR version. Also not familiar with the D13, but I doubt it could have a failure without a code.

  3. There's as many versions of Jeep brackets as you want to look at. We ran a Blue Ox system, older style that isn't sold anymore, and would fold against the bumper or remove with pins. We started with a separate set of magnet mount lights, with wire connections at the front and back. We moved to diodes in the wiring to run the factory lights, after a LEO tried to ticket us for "Improper Lighting". He was full of shirt stuffing, but in the interest of not having to return for a court appearance, we agreed to change them before our return through his jurisdiction.

  4. As Rickeieio said, unless they're rare collector cars, sell them and replace in the valley. Smog testing is just 1 of the expenses importing a vehicle to AZ. Insurance is cheaper, tags are probably a wash. The volume of used vehicles down there will blow your hair straight back. Or, ruffle the peach fuzz.

  5. It sounds like you're having multiple issues, just keep on chasing them down and eliminating them, one by one. The last time we had fuel delivery issues, we both got pretty good at maxing RPM before the stumbles hit. Part of the joys of an AutoShift transmission. If you have a stick, I still wouldn't recommend that many miles. The dirty looks coming from the right seat are mighty uncomfortable.

    Just because you post a web link to a search term, doesn't mean there's a vehicle available to rent. Even reserving well ahead is no guarantee that you'll get a vehicle, and even less of a chance, if you need a specific vehicle type. We needed a large passenger van last summer, ended up with three SUV, from three different rental agencies. Had to have three different people rent them, due to location spread, and insurance policies. The initial reservation was entered almost six months in advance, with follow up confirmations every month. The day of pickup, the reservation was there, sans vehicle. No explanation was offered, and a single five passenger SUV was offered in place of a twelve passenger van.

    That in itself is nearly impossible. Getting a residential fridge put in by someone. Home Depot will install in a house but not rv.

    Agree. There are few people willing to take on this amount of work, probably due to the pure bull work of moving the fridges around, and the detail work of finishing the trim to make it look good. There are even fewer fridge manufacturers willing to offer a warranty on their products, due to the "unconditioned" air space of an RV in travel.

  8. I don't remember if I mentioned it, or not, but Cummins QuickServe will allow you to access 5 engine serial number files for free. A quick profile setup, enter your engine serial number, and you'll have access to everything Cummins knew about your engine, as it was built, or serviced by Cummins shops

    Celect or Celect plus: pins 27, 25 and 9 in the actuator harness plug, to battery ground.

    Travel day today, but that sounds right. Don't forget, Cummins is famous for fuses on the ground wires. That means more places for corrosion to say Hello.

  10. In order of your list: any kitchen staples are permitted, keep them in their original packaging to prove the origin. Citrus fruit is a year by year restriction. Leafy veg, pretty much leave stateside. Same for potatoes. Canned items will be allowed, assuming store bought. Frozen stew, soup, or any combined meal, follow the previous. 

    Kitchen utensils are not an issue, unless you're flying.

    Pets will need a Rabies vaccination report, along with a vet signed certificate of health.

  11. Both of those fancy "splitters" are nothing more than a pipe tee, with some internal hooey. As long as your tanks are plumbed level, fuel has to obey the laws of physics, and draw/return equally to/from both tanks evenly. Chasing pipe threads too far can result in a useless hunk of scrap metal, if you're not careful.

  12. I carry a set very similar, minus the locking handles. Comes in handy for other thing around the RV, like stiff sewer hoses. I also have several of the other styles in the toolbox at Junior's place.

  13. Several choices available. Strap wrench style:08-0069_ratchet_1024x1024.jpg?v=14339619

    Jaw style:9779693-21.jpg

    Pocket style:MX2320-US_Main_1000x1000.jpg?v=162584489

    Be aware that the pocket style is filter specific, and has a lot lower size range.

    Harbor Freight locking style:63696_I.jpg

     

     

     

  14. If you have a pump to recirculate back to the tank, add your own filter and housing. Polish your own fuel. If you put a metal wand on the suction, such that you can get down to the worms, it'll be faster. The other option, buy a Costco size box of filters, and be ready to swap them on the side of the road. Not my preferred location, but if you got good life insurance, Mama might be set.

    Yup, your truck has worms. Could be bio-contamination. Doesn't look like asphaltenes. You're South-East this winter, right. Find you a boat area, ask around. You're looking for a fuel polishing company. They pull fuel out, filter it, and send back to the tank. Big business around boatyards.
