RE: Drop on a bed of a truck when your fifth wheel jacks are up.

RE: When to add pressure to air helper springs

I air up after hitched and have experimented with different amounts of air and find 25#-35# works best. I also only pump up enough to keep off the overloads.

RE: When did we get the right to speed?

I was about to make a statement, but what the heck, if those who can't read speed limit signs probably won't read this either. I was going to fast to read the sign

RE: Order date to delivery date?

We were given a date at time of the order. It was 10 weeks out but it was February so we were fine with that. Everything worked out and our rig was about 12 hours late from the originally promised date.

RE: New vehicle buying - RANT

Deal with the fleet managers. Go through Costco auto program if you have access to one. NO BS

RE: "04.5 Dodge/Cummins Rough Running on Start

If I remember correctly my 06 had a recall for a reprogram for white smoke and rough idle at start up. Check out www.dieseltruckresource.com that forum has a wealth of information.

RE: Bear Country

We spent 2 weeks at Fishing Bridge and had a great time. We saw two bears one strolloing doen the road side with about 500 people snapping pictures, and one laying in the creek with a bison carcass. The rangers kept everyone at least 200 yards away and let people use there spotting scope to see the bear.

RE: ?? on Replacement tires for 06 Ford F350 4x Crew Diesel....

If you stay on pavement get an HT tire. If you get an all terrain tire expect to only get about 35k out of them. Been through two sets of Toyo AT's good all around tire. They are warrantied for 50K so my last set I got $75 off each tire.

RE: clearance

My rig is no pavement queen by any means. We drag it on the beach, up mountain roads and even over open desert. With my airbags pumped up I have just under 6" of clearance at the tailgate. I have been in a couple of situations, truck pointing down hill while trailer is level, where the top of the tailgate is my worry. In those cases I let the air out of the bags and have been good to go.

RE: Level fiver while towing?

I am towing about an inch or two nose high by my leveing stick. I have weighed my rig fully loaded at each wheel location and the difference was minimal, within 50# of each tire. Most of the difference was side to side, front to back was very close. I did this after experiencing a blow out and seeing another rig just like mine with the same tire blown out. So I thought the rig must be heavy over that tire but it wasn't.The only handling issues I notice are when we are traveling light. (no ATV's and minimal water) To add to this we travel with or fridge on ALL the time and have never had any issues
