  1. So if I read those numbers correctly, you have less than 2K "Cargo Carrying Capacity" (CCC)?
  2. Billy W what Model of LUXE did you get? What is the actual weight of your new LUXE upon delivery and how much CCC do you have?
  3. No need to Judge people by where you "think" they are from! That type of attitude is not appreciated on this forum! I bet you will get your wish and get no more answers that you don't want to hear 'cuz you already "know it all"...you need to "move along"! Oh and by the way FB might suit your questions in a more "positive" light! You should fit right in with the other folks that have accomplished your "quest" with varying degrees of success!
  4. Sometimes it can be helpful to others when you share your “fix” to your problem.
  5. Go for it and have a safe trip! If your pulling a RV most LEO’s won’t look twice.
  6. By not setting the “parking brake” and allowing the truck to roll you induced a “torque” load on the tranny. As you found out you can easily remedy the situation byl removing the “torque” on the drivetrain. The tranny did what it was designed to do in that situation. Not a good idea to ever leave you truck in neutral and not apply the “parking brake”. You were fortunate you had a tow close by to get you going again. The UltraShift users manual mentions this situation and the possibility of “rolling” the truck to release the torque. I have it somewhere and will try to post it.
  7. Do you plan on running the genny while it is under the fairing? What about the exhaust? Cooling air? Noise and vibration? There are some nice generator slide trays that might work. https://www.morryde.com/products/93-utility-sliding-trays?return=%2Fproduct-category%2F2-sliding-trays%3F
  8. Did you check the fuses to the LCM?
  9. What about this...... https://fifthwheelst.com/automated-safety-hitch-system.html
  10. Something I happened across on the Gen 2 trucks is the drivers side is the “Brains” and the passenger is the “child”! Everything goes though the drivers side switch to operate the function. Pull the switches on both sides and remove the connectors and spray some electric contact cleaner on the switch and the connectors. On Gen 2 trucks the switch panels are just snapped in. Can be removed without removing the door panel. Not sure if this pertains to Gen 1 trucks so if not just disregard!
  11. Here's a picture of a sample "cassette" style mounting of a mini-split....
  12. This shop has some good reviews for rebuilding of HDT turbos of various brands. https://www.ebay.com/str/yiyitosturboservices
  13. If you look at the cover side of the mirror do you see two little “buttons” if so you can remove them and find some screws. Remove the screws and remove the cover. If you have the “newer style” you can use the YouTube video for help.
  14. Call http://www.coltontruckterminalgarage.com/service.html. They have a good reputation in this area. I haven’t had a need to use them yet. If they can’t help you then maybe they can refer you to someone else. Sorry it’s not in Riverside proper but close by. Lots of truck shops and dealerships in Fontana and the surrounding areas. Still close by...
  15. I wish I could get that good of a deal! That seems about 1/2 of what I have paid. But to be fair I think my 780’s glass may be a bit bigger.
  16. I thought the highest voltage set point was 14.4. Have you tried using something less than 14.8? If I read the manual right 12.6 is the default setting for a full battery. Are you pushing the enter button twice to activate the auto mode?
  17. Give these guys a call.... https://www.gcrtires.com/locations/638/mississippi-richland.amp
  18. Google is your friend.....
  19. Doesn’t CA also require first trailer to be 5th wheel connected? Is length on the “first trailer” restricted? What about the “second trailer” only allowed to be a boat trailer? Heard from a friend.....LOL
  20. It’s the other way around.... fuel in the oil is an indication of a possible bad injector(s). Usually it’s the “injector cup” that goes bad and allows the fuel to get into the oil system. Cups on older Volvo’s were made of copper and were prone to failure. Newer updated cups are made of stainless steel.
