2020 Camping season.....over before it starts?
We're slowly getting our rig ready for two or three-day trip, mostly to look for leaks and little critter infestations. Here in NC all camping is shutdown just like everywhere else, but as of 4/9 the curve is already flattening a bit and it may be a whole different world by September. We can...- Rijrnnr

What happens if I push this button?
Actually there are three of them. They are up near the top of the windshield and have roman numerals I, II, and III. I pushed no. 1, and it changed the display on the dash, something to do with mpg I think. Pushed no. 2 and the display said " Training". The third also displays "Training"...- Rijrnnr

How to: Install LSD!
Trying to get up the courage to do mine and this really helps, especially since you did such a great photography job. It's not easy to get the lighting correct under a truck but you did it. Didn't use a phone camera, did you?- Rijrnnr

Synthetic oil from regular
Drained the M1 5-20 this weekend and switched to Napa 10-30 full syn. This 5.7 has 147000 miles on it and tows a 6000 lb load. It has had M1 in it from day one and never goes down on the stick. Maybe I can remember to update on this when and if anything changes. We are always interested in...- Rijrnnr

Synthetic oil from regular
I switched to full syn on a high mileage (145000)truck that was already using a little oil. It used a lot more on syn so I switched back to dino oil and no harm done. Syn is made from natural gas (small molecules) so I guess it escapes real easy when the seals get old. My 2 cents. By the...- Rijrnnr

Ford owner thinking about a Ram, tips?
I'm no expert about Ram's, but having owned 17 or 18 blue ovals (cars and trucks), my recent purchase of a 2009 bighorn is an indication that Fords are missing something and for me it's the engines and the ride. I tested several different year models and finally bought one that I like and can...- Rijrnnr

Buying a Trailer - Advice Appreciated
I have read and reread this thread and saw something that I wanted to comment on, but decided it was none of my business. However, today is two weeks later and I gotta get it off my mind, so...when I retired, I bought a new 38 footer with 2 slideouts and hit the road for two years. First year...- Rijrnnr

2013 shock replacment
Thread may be dead but since these posts tend to linger into the future, it might be helpful to note that there are two shock designs that are in common use...twin-tube and monotube. Most all the shock manfacturers make both kinds. As a general rule the twin-tube is softer, a bit cheaper, and...
