HERO Maker Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 John, go ahead and drain it out of the bottom. You will find a valve to open there. You may need to crack open the top, but maybe not. Also make sure you drain into a glass jar so you can see what is in the fuel and if you have any water. The next time that filter gets up towards the top will be the next time to change out that filter.

From the sound of the weather forecast that just hit the tv, it does not sound to good for OKC tomorrow. They are forecasting 8 out of 10 chance of tornadoe(s) with LARGE hail. Oh well, builds character I reckon. Hope it dodges all you folks in TX.

JPL Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 John Congratulations on a fine looking truck. Hope everything is because of the fuel filter. Anything else can be $'s. Hope that bad stuff misses OKC. I use to work on a Submarine named the OKC. Not now. Good luck and stay safe. God Bless Pat The Old Sailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasFlyer Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Very nice, congratulations.. say hello to Paul & Jeff. Larry, I forgot to tell you that Jeff smiled when I mentioned your name. He pulled out the mug that you sent him, he clearly cherishes that prize. He said it was very refreshing and fun getting to work with you and Donna, on ordering your new truck.

Yes it was fun ordering our truck from them but I'm verily sure after months & months of me pestering and wanting our truck they were happy to complete our purchase & wave goodbye. Good people and they gave us great service. See you at the WCR! Planning Nanook version 2.0 Nanook "When we made ready to depart, after a few days, Nanook was beside himself with joy.

Actually the fuel filter escapade is on hold until this weekend, I am in OKC until late tomorrow night. Thanks for asking, I will advise. As to the weather, yes, we dodged a big one on Tuesday night, though they are calling for more severe weather from TX to KS, late tonight and into tomorrow.

RickS Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 John,Great looking truck! Are you going to leave it tandem? Do you haul motorbikes with you in the TH'er? It will be nice meeting everyone at the WCR.

VegasFlyer Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Rick, This truck is going to remain non neutered, we will try to truck responsibly...lol We have a lot of different toys that we like to haul around. We sold a sand car and will be replacing that with a Polaris 4 door Turbo RZR in June or July whenever they come out with the 2017 model rzr's. That and quads are our general toys of choice. We are also searching for, and deliberating on, either a Smart car or Geo Tracker, to throw in the toy hauler for places like the beach, etc. John Southern Nevada 2008 Volvo 780, D13, I-Shift 2017 Keystone Fuzion 420 Toyhauler 2017 Can-Am Maverick X3-RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I really like the turbo RZR! I am just finishing up a 2016 RZR 1000S just for the size. It will fit on the truck or in the TH'er. We also have a couple of motorbikes depending what we're doing and where we're going. I am going to try meet up with Tony that I met at the WCR last year and do some desert riding in Nevada the week before this year's WCR. Congrat's on the truck.....your going to love that i-shift.

Good choice on the S! I love mine. I'm also going to try to put the new General back there, but I will probably have to remove the bed of the General when in transport. It sticks out about 4" to the rear. View High Resolution Photo "Willy Mammoth" - Volvo 730, Sold Heartland Cyclone 4000 Toy HaulerT-Minus 26 years and counting to being a full timer.
