Ummm, I've retired. Only planted two tomato plants, no corn or soybeans. Now we can go play with the other olde phartes.

Maybe some retired farmer with Shrek hands did your soldering........

Every interstate commercial truck needs an ifta sticker, whether or not you actually purchase any fuel is irrelevant...

Depending on your state of domocile, you may not have a choice. For instance, our farm straddles the Ohio/Indiana line. I could title in either state, but neither offers the option of private truck with a gvwr high enough to catch out truck. Thus, MH was the way to go, and in Ohio, it was stupid easy. Indiana is nearly as easy. Do your homework and make a list of the pros and cons of each. Assign a value (score?) to each item on the lists and see which way wins.

almost had a coffee splutter incident😮

Sooo, any news?

The mark of a good teacher.👍

Where did you source the bad alternator? I've had bad experience with rebuilds from the discount auto stores (Auto Zone, O'Reilley's, Advance, etc. I once drove 50 miles to put a rebuild on daugher's car, late on a Sunday night, in blowing snow, only to have the "new" unit go up in smoke within 30 seconds of start-up. Had to squeeze 5 college girls, plus wife and myself, in our crew cab. Took the offending piece back and got one from a source I trust.

I like Whenitworks. 🤔

That's why we refer to them as laws, not suggestions.

Al, Those air dams don't work well for moving gravel................. Been there.

Looking at your profile, I see you're in the Houston, TX area. Exile just got his HDT registered there, and Big 5er knows a bit about this as well. This was discussed at length just a couple weeks ago. A quick search might yeild some answers.

👍

Let's assume the hitch is operating in it's sweet spot of about 50 psi. When you unhitch, the head rises, and we would expect to hear a rush of air escaping, at 50 psi. But in reality, your pressure is near zero, because you've removed the load. Thus, the air escapes very slowly. It's likely that the leveling valve is fine.

Yup, that's what I've used for a long time. Issue was getting the pics from the cloud to that site. Did I mention Chrome is a PITA?

I was testing because I was whining to my daughter about how much i hate this Chromebook, and want my old pc w/ windows xp back. She was demonstrating that I really can post pics. But it takes several minutes, and 3-5 more steps, than the old way. That 5er has sat in that same spot for at least 7-8 years. It's only a few miles from our house. You can hardly see it now through the weeds and brush, even though it's maybe 50' off the highway. Pretty clever redneck enjinearing.

That's why I mentioned in post 14 of the current🤣 27, that jumper guage and clamps are important. (How's that for slipping in a pun?)

We could tell you were in misery at the ECR. We hope it goes well. Our son-in-law had a disk-ect-omy (sp?) last week. He walked out of the hospital just a couple of hours later. After years of high power pain meds, he's now neary pain free. The wonders of modern medicine.........

The size of the jumper cables is VERY important. Good clamps are too.

"Available........Nowhere." That said it all.

True. Evaporation is what makes yout a/c work......... and keeps the ice box.....iceeeeee.

Phone number on the truck indicates NW Oregon. Looks like a double wide office trailer, and they tried to move both halves while still attached.

So, Darryl, where was that? Up your way?

Kevin, I'm guessing the line you colored green is the culprit? If so, the line may only be bad in the area where it's along the brace/support angle. In that case, you might consider cutting out the rusted section and replace it with high quality hose and good clamps. Don't go to Auto-Zone.
