PEAK PUTTERS

Four wheeler Perfection

I have the Hellwig sway bar. I suspect big tires and good shocks are the best first steps for heavy camper. Air bags are nice folks leveling things out.

Big fat aftermarket. I think any sway bar combined with overloaded tires won’t make much difference.

My 2007.5 Dodge Ram 1 ton did not come with a factory sway bar like the 3/4 tons do. I installed a a sway bar and that may have helped, but the bigger tires made the most difference. I think I should dump the factory shocks and install new heavy duty shocks, but I have not done much looking. I did r...

I’ve ran the same exercise... hoped you had a different results. I found the modern dodge switched to 18” rims. I found many modern used factory take-offs with low miles including rims for about $900-1100. Turns out the new factory 18” tires are about 3% larger than the factory 17” tires. The truck ...

Yup.

Odd thing about the sinks. Mine is working very well.

what is the ohmic value of each element? what does the wiring diagram show for ohmic values? it may be that they are not all the same wattage it may progressively increase the heating depending on need. and each may have a different value. E=IxR 120v=8xR? so 120/8=15ohms. so each element should be ...

I'll visually inspect the aluminum ground connection to verify that it's not loose or burnt. Thanks for the comment.

I think the furnace (240v-500AMP) it wired like an older style appliance: two hot leads and the furnace is tied to the ground (no neutral lead). I have connectivity between the aluminum ground wire and the screws that hold the elements into the furnace.

You are the Bomb! Perhaps we can pow wow about this on Thursday?

I'm working on my dad's furance and I'm at a loss why only one of the heating elements apprear to be getting hot even though each elements show 120v when the system is running. It's a long story, so this would be a good time get a beer. First, it's a 197Os furnace with four elements... no heat pump....

Thanks Dave, I'll reference your report in meeting minutes for Oct.

With help from Scumby and spare parts, my old ARB is back in operation. It turns out that the thermister failed. I did buy a MV50 pump for tire duty.

Scumby, what rumor did you hear? A google search suggests that HBF has goofy advertising.

Thanks Jose.

I should have said "decent priced" portable pump that works decen for big tires.

I'm looking for one of these. Anyone have one that they don't need?

Any suggestions for a decent 12volt compressor for the wheeler? I think I'm done smoking my ARB pumps blowing up tires.

It was a bit smoky in the morning still fun to be there.

? Looks like $24K in both posts... a bump regardless.

Taking Dolly out for a boat ride.

I know this guy. This could be a good project rig for a family guy.

Three amigos participated in the Benton Franklin fair parade. We met at Fred Myers and headed out to the parade staging area at 9AM. Similar to last year, we were the parade's tail gunners. We started rolling around 1130AM: about the time entry #62 finished. The parade's MC gave us a good hollar as ...
