  1. Just curious as to the thinking on greasing a Binkly hitch head. On top of the hitch is the tool I use to grease the underside of the hitch head. Was just reading the hitch post problem and wanted to share what I do. JJJust Curious,. Vern
  2. Just curious as to what you are pulling it with. If a pickup then you could think about a HDT. A heavy duty truck will haul a lot of toys, tool and just stuff. Then you can keep the fifthwheel that you really like. Just thinking,. Vern
  3. Where is the grease. I do not see any signs of it being lubed. Just curious,. Vern
  4. Just a thought separate sleeping areas Vern
  5. Read the manual on how to initiate the system. It will probably be at the end of the installation instructions. It mite be a little confusing but it is there. Print that and keep it handy. You may need it again. That is how to reset the controls. That may fix your problem. Safe Travels, Vern
  6. What thermostat do you have. It may just need reprogrammed. Vern
  7. If you are traveling in Montana today pay attention to the weather. The mountain passes may have white stuff on then, . Be safe,. Vern

    Truckla

    I could try it in my service business. The other days I figured have close to 200,000 ton miles of travel with my jeep. That is it has carried about of 1 ton of parts and tools for about 200,000 miles. Just put another set of Michelin XPS tires on it. Have a good days,. Vern
  9. You need a dc voltmeter and check every connection. It should charge the house batteries. And possibly the chassis batteries. In that time period they may not charge the chassis batteries. There may be a relay that is bad. meter it to follow power,. Vern
  10. This the passenger side cab grounds on the engine side of the firewall. Just up from the exhaust pipe and towards outside of the truck. Three of them. This is the other side location of three cab grounds. The are just under the pass through for the air lines. On the outside of firewall. Yet hey are there just hard to see. They caused an very intermittent miss on our Cummins about 5 years ago. Hope this helps,. Vern
  11. More thoughts, on red top Cummins N14 But some may apply to your situation. 1. throttle position sensor is on back side of throttle pedal or gas pedal. 2 I would also install Baldwin fuel filters on unit . Mine has one on engine and one on the passenger side frame in front of the steer tire. NAPA filters cause me headaches for several years. 3 there are 3 small ground wires on each side of firewall on a Volvo in the engine compartment. Yep cause me a headache back a few years 4 if your engine has a fuel seliniod you may want to replace it. Hope this headache medicine will work. Vern
  12. Ain't that a great feeling. What the. Is happening. The throttle potentiometer is a likely culprit. Now I have had a bad connection on a positive battery terminal about 100 miles after cleaning the battery post. Was lucky and got off the interstate. Just in time to stop at a Walmart. Original battery nut was not open on top. Dammmm wire was not tight as the nut bottomed out on top of the post. Now that new potentiometer solved my cruise problem and gave much better throttle response. One should change all sensors every five years. just my thought,. Vern

    Tinker Week?

    Could we tinker with these if I bring them. just that I am in Montana. That's a long tide. or maybe during grandma White along Vern
  15. I have wanted to thank you for making photo posting easy for us that have problems accomplishing it. Vern
  16. Storage area I built the bed after much thought on what I wanted to do. this should give a good idea as to the storage I have and construction. The center support is with two 10" channel irons straight up and made into a storage cabinet. Just some thoughts,. Vern
  17. This is a rear view of our bed. You can see a side view in the avatar. I would think about setting your razor to the side. Then the bikes to the other side. Then have full area under the ramp for storage. The center upright is what I hook the jeep to to pull it up. Just a thought,. Vern
  18. There is a 1/4" screw on the burner tube. On the right side where the burner assembly Is attached for grounding loosen and tighten that screw twice. Test operation. Safe Travels,. Vern
  19. Out for a ride yesterday and spotted this truck sitting in Montana. it has been sitting there for awhile as no fresh tracks from driving it to where it is sitting. And it has pine needles on the back of the bed. Just curious ,. Vern
  20. I just did mine about a month ago. Climb up the back and start waxing the front and work you way back. That what it will not be as slippery. Yep did it backwards the first time and lucky I stoped on the roof. Hook your feet over the back for safety if need be. Do what u can from a ladder on the side. Be safe,. Vern
  21. First all what engine do you have. Several years ago my N14 was sorta getting warm on long hard pulls. Then I had a warning light come on. I think as it was maybe 5 years ago. Pull over and let it cool down. We were going up a steep grade going to Vernal Utah from Price Utah. So after it idled and cooled down we continued on to Vernal. Next morning started truck and only 10 lbs air pressure . Changed air governor as it was a quick fix. It fixed the air problem. And now the fan was operating better, as in coming on at a slightly lower temperature and doing its thing. So about three years ago we were stuck in Montana till bad weather hit. So the fan quit turning off about 400 miles from Arizona. No time to check it as tired of bad weather and DW was recovering from rotator cuff surgery. So it was get to winter spot fast. The fan switch was bad and stuck on. Replaced switch and fan now operating as it should. Then last fall the engine started to get above normal temps faster and cool down slower. So I had started to read on the net about the N14 in our truck and it has two thermostats. Now there was a problem on what gasket this N14 needed for the thermostat housing. So I ordered another thermostat and the gasket after talking to a dealer in Utah. Got the second thermostat and gasket. Went out to look at situation . Ok called dealer with engine serial number. That's the gasket he said. So I said send me a gasket stretcher. He said what. So I gave him the serial number again and he said he would call Cummins. Now he was a Cummins dealer. Cummins solution is there is no gasket. If you have a Cummins N14 it may not use a gasket if you have two thermostats. The thermostats have a rubber seal that goes over the edge of the thermostat. That is what seals it. On another note the water pump tube gets o'rings . They sent me square rings, possibly for a single thermostat housing. So we just traveled around Arizona, Utah, Wyoming and Montana in the last month and I sorta push it at times and now it works as it should. So if you have a Cummins N14 there could be several different possible problems or a combination of them. Safe Travels,. Vern
  22. I had this site for a few years and then it could not be found again by my computer. Luckily I copied a manual for my 1970 Onan generator that we use on our fifthwheel . I found it a week or two ago again. If you have one of these units you may want to store it somewhere in case it disappears again. http://www.twinslan.net/~n0nas/manuals/onan/ Hope this helps some,. Vern sorta interesting how Onan started
  23. If have one of these units you may want to print a manual for units. For a few years I had a complete list of Onan model. Then last winter the server was not available anymore. I checked a bout two weeks ago and it is back. So I am going to post a link to it again. It may come up as Twinslan . That is it . At least see if you can find it on there. Hopefully this will help someone,. Vern
