  1. Not real old but a 1990 Starcraft-cream-tan-blue and burgandy. Whitewall tires-4 burner stove-dark wood-lots of 110v and 12v lights-blinds on all windows. The curtains and upolstery is like something you would have your home. After 1990 the models went down hill till no more. Old school baby.
  2. Wife and kids and I went for a hike in Glacier. Getting late and wife says we need to hurry and get back to the truck. Its getting late and the bears will be coming out. Get back to parking lot and there's a mamma grizzly and to cubs beside truck. Parking lot was closed the next day. Bear Alert
  3. Old friend of mine just posted on facebook his court date and fine for filling up his truck and driving off without paying. His fine is $50.00 less that it woulda cost for paying for the gas.
  4. My daughter was asked by U of M Hospital in Mi. to do testing. Partner she worked with had it and didn't know and sure enough daughter got it.
  5. Dumb and then I got dumber. First thing I thought this guy musta just got married.
  6. Have a 2014 Ford F350 crew cab 4x4 and need it at times. With 80K I pull a 12k lb. living quarters racecar trailer. Luv it. Rides great and no problem. 19mpg highway. + or -12mpg on the flat. In KY.-Tenn on I75 on the big hills will push 13mpg. Lots of power and the newer ones have more. Had a F250 with the 6.0 and with 205K only replaced one injector for $275.00. Worked for GM for 40yrs. I drive myFord because its a work truck. 90% of tow vehicals I see at race tracks are Ford or Dodge.
  7. Had Gulfway on my Peterbilt. Went to SF for allittle less money doing declared value on both. SF is 15 miles away and Gulfway is 1300 miles.
  8. Found info on manufacturing date like above post. Mine are 4919 which is 49 week of 2019. I am good to go.
  9. Got an email today. I bought mine in 2020. Will just have to wait till next week.
  10. Got about $1,500.00 into mine and that would include the frame sandblasted.
  11. Hello My 1984 Peterbilt 359 suspension is usually good for "2" Months even in cold weather. The other air is good for "1" week. It has way more places for leaks-even has air wipers than newer trucks. They used rubber lines with flare fittings. Bought some new seats and they go down in a week were the old Peterbilts never did. They got plastic lines with push-loc fittings
  12. If its just stain etc. in spots the best thing I 've found at 71 yrs. is bleach white tire cleaner.
  13. You should have 12v at 2 locations when the brakes are activated. Is that 12v just your 12v hot wire?
  14. I've drank lots of water from "Moving" creeks in Alaska-Yukon-BC-Northwest Territories Montana with no problems.
  15. This one has a messenger Messenger rna never used before and studied.
  16. At 71 when I can't shift my 13 speed-hang it up When I can't drive my racecar in trailer and have to us a winch-hang it up. Still ride a 1969 Harley kick start-race vintage snowmobiles. Had a drop dead heart attack 9 yrs. ago. Open heart 3 yrs. ago. Hernia surgery 2 yrs. ago. Still run on a tread mill for heart stress test. Just make it. Think God wants me to follow my young brain.
  17. Lapeer area about 100 mi. east of Grand Rapids.
  18. I put on my new Michigan Historical plate. Good till 2031 and only cost $35.00.
  19. Your solenoid is nothing but a huge relay with a big set of points. Two big washers coming together. They get burnt and pitted. They can get stuck together (welded). Cheap me would see how bad and if not real bad would file and sand. Haven't check but maybe nowdays there not made to not come apart to be rebuilt and no core.
  20. Relay valve-Will it come apart? Most things air just need a cleaning and new O-rings. Mud dobbers can plug the exhaust hole and you'll think brakes are sticking.
  21. There is no set degree but less is better. You want the trans yoke to be parallel to the rear end pinion yoke. The thing is torque under load will force the rear end up so atleast 1 degree down can be important. Get a degree angle finder.
  22. Smaller the tank the bigger the problem. You want them cold to fill but warm to empty.
  23. Had a situation in Mi. driving this summer going on a camping trip. Woulda have felt safer with a firearm on me or in the side door of truck. Not in the trailer.
  24. I always shut off the disconnects in summer and winter in Mi. Even if I plugged in the block heater and started it wouldn't probably reach 100 degrees in 40-50 degree weather. Would do more harm than good. I do get the urge in spring to start and hear the big kitty purr.
  25. Crate training and don't be a lazy parent. I buried my last boy (Newfoundland) with the bear he had since a puppy at 11.5 yrs. He and my new boy (newfoundland) at 4 yrs. have never ruined a thing. You can only count on one hand the times they both had an accident in house since getting at 8 weeks. 20 years of male Goldens and no problems. Had yellow labs years ago but the lived in a barn. At 70 yrs. wifie and I can't live without our big babies. Enjoy
