  1. Enjoy Dave! That's a great one Brad!
  2. Your reasoning sounds reasonable! Full time or travel a lot? Jack will certainly help you figure out your mission statement. Great group of guys there.
  3. I believe my bed height is closer to 46" and when I load slowly by cable, I have about a 1/2 inch clearance. Picking your area for loading has the most effect on clearance, if needed, place a 2x6 under the bottom of your ramps and or that piece of angle iron at the hinge of the ramps. I do get into the car and drive it off. Adds a couple hundred pounds, but doesn't touch bed. '

    You can insert links into your posts.
  5. Here he is under members. https://www.rvnetwork.com/profile/2747-scrap/ I think!
  6. What was the last thing you had done to the truck? Start there and work backwards. Before disconnecting everything, try to tighten everything.
  7. A Merry Christmas To Everyone!
  8. Jim, did you change trucks or are you posting the OP's truck?
  9. Rick, that is Jim's truck, not hatrack's track. And I'm wondering where my signature went!
  10. What year truck do you have? Some of the Gen 1 trucks will stay down once the key is off. Gen 2 and newer - I'm not sure, but I know of a couple that will come back up after key is off. Doesn't sound like a leveling valve problem, you've just got some air leaks as mentioned. Have fun finding them.
  11. Jim, you've probably already looked here.;
  12. Can you post a picture of the truck?
  13. If you haven't been scared off yet, then contact the companies. They have contract inspectors all over.
  14. Forget the DOT inspection. You don't ever need that. Put the funds toward a real inspection company that you can probably find in the resource guide, or I'm sure one of the guys will chime in with a name or two. Get the records on the truck from the seller/volvo. The money you invest in a mechanical inspection will tell you what you need to know in order to move forward, slash the price, or to run.
  15. That is fantastic JB! I was getting worried for you and was about to encourage you to follow all your hots wires to junction boxes, switches, and outlets. As they say, always start working backwards from the last thing that was done! You must be living right!!!
  16. Are you sure you only have 1 transfer switch? I had a front and rear power cord plugin, plus the generator. Both my transfer switches were side by side.
  17. I was told by the city electrician who came out to check out the blown breaker in the RV park, that we should check out and tighten the lugs every year! Keep searching!
  18. Just a thought, Jack had helped me re-wire my transfer switch a number of years ago on the Teton when it had shorted out! The switch was behind the partition sliders and the smoke smell was pretty strong in the rig. Find your transfer switch, open it up and see if you have any thing blackened in there. Good Luck.
  19. I know you said yours was running, but was it just on idle? Wouldn't run under more load? Did you try the breakers on the gen?
  20. This happened to us during a power outage in the city this last summer. A good friend Bill, pointed out that there is a sticker that says something like Check Oil Level Every Time Before Starting! OK!!!! So with barely a 1/2 qt. added, it started and stayed running! Don't you just love sensors!
