  1. YES ! Somebody gets it thank you!
  2. Yes I'm well aware of how much HDT cost I've had mine for over 7 years .now I've been very fortunate the only thing I've had to do to it is put a new transmission in it and believe you me they are not cheap.
  3. Good idea .the only reason I am not doing this is because I am not a professional truck driver nor am I a professional diesel technician. Although I can change my own oil and run a grease gun.i figure it doesn't hurt to let the pros. Take a look at it.to make sure I am not missing something. I usually do this every couple of years. Yes I admit my previous comparison was a extreme one. And I ruffled a few fathers out there in the hdt world.But like I said before when you live in a world where money doesn't grow on trees this can be nerve racking.
  4. 1st of all you don't know me that well to make the judgment call like that. I spent 19 days in a icu with my wife while she recovered from 2 aneurysms and a stroke. I am fully aware of what the difference is. The point I was trying to get at .was when your not made of money and money doesn't grow on trees it can be very stressfull.
  5. Alright this may be an extreme Comparison. But it's still nerve racking.
  6. Is just realized something. You know that feeling you get your stomach when you're sitting in the waiting room Worrying about Is somebody at the hospital And what the results are gonna be. It's the same feeling you get when you're waiting in the waiting room of a truck shop Waiting for the results of your oil change And PM kind of nerve racking.
  7. Looking for a good price on tires. Need to replace drivers. Currently have Brig stone M726EL 11 r 22.5. Any body know of a good buy?
  8. OK well thanks for The info. I think I've got My issue with the headlight fixed. Yes it was a bad ground Didn't find any evidence of critter's chewing on wires. So the squirrels and raccoons are safe for now. Thanks again for the help.
  9. What color wires Is typically ground. And how can I test the headlight to find which wire is ground.
  10. Is just put a Test light on everywire coming out of the headlights and for some reason every wireComing out of the headlights Is hot And no lights are on. I am thinking bad head light fixture
  11. Call the phone number I listed they Will answer all your Questions .
  12. So last fall before I shut the truck down for the Winter I installed new headlights .They seemed to work fine So just recently I got in the truck fired it up. Got a message on the dashboard that's stated headlight low beam open circuit left side. And then the marker light quit working also . anybody have a wiring diagram 4 the headlights on A 08 VNL 780? Any ideas why It just quit working? It makes me wonder If it hasn't been attacked by some wire chewing critters . Oh is this going to be fun.I have noticed squirrels milling around the truck. Also seen raccoons out there.If they are found guilty of chewing on my wires oh man it's on . I may have to ask for recipes that involve squirrel and racoon.
  13. OK I thought I put this to rest again. call (866) 634-3753 You'll be calling carb. They stated that all trucks that are license out of state Are not included In this new Law. And also we are Licensed as motorhomes Which again the law don't Apply. they also stated All non commercial out of state rv are welcome in California. But seriously if you have any questions call that phone number. that should clear up a lot of this. thanks.

    hitches

    Trailer saver Hitches powder coating peels off. Makes a Mess Other than for that Seems to work OK for me. Although I am not a full timer .I don't think it would last as long as a et hitch. Depends on how you are going to use it .full time .weekend once a month. It comes down to what you can afford.
  15. Well did you know that if you use carb cleaner To clean grease off your 5th wheel It will also take powder Coating off what a mess.
  16. Truck hitch .And the powder coating is peeling off of it. Trailer saver.
  17. So today I thought it would be a good idea to pull the 5th wheel hitch off Our truck to inspect it service it and check for cracks in the Welds.Every thing looks great .Except the paint.What kind of paint would you use to prevent rust?
  18. Looks like you're about ready for a framing inspection. A few fire blocks . And some hurricane clips should just about do it.
  19. Vehicle registration Permits went on sale today for the going to the sun road. Called first thing when they opened .good thing I did .at that time they where just about sold out.
  20. I seen a smart car on Is snowmobile tracks . This looks like fun.
  21. So I'm going to put this topic to bed finally. What you all have been saying about out of state trucks are still allowed in California. It' Is true I called carb Yesterday at 1 -866 -634 -3753. And yes to confirm what all you all have been saying Is True. Our converted trucks that are license As Is R v's Out of state are welcome in California. We are exempt from their new law. Thanks guys for your help
