Seriously... a helicopter in U.S. is $200 a minute considering expenses and wages. ...and this is what they chase??? WTF? Safer with distance...

Axle looks about frame height, likely a solid suspension...

Wow, you put a lot of work into that... Still here, looking forward to seeing plan D...

Haven't had any come loose on the 7.3l in my truck.  I hand tighten as much as I can then about 1/8-1/4 more with the wrench.  On the race trucks we rig a safety wire to the filter shell using a worm clamp on the filter and tie it to a nearby bolt in the direction that tightens.  Leave a little...

ROFLMAO!  :thumbsup:

Ooooh! Ouch! I do my own work so it's much less painful... A dry-park check will reveal what's loose and needs attention... Hopefully they'll get all the slop under control. I've also seen bushings on the front of the Dodge rear leaf springs deteriorate and contribute to roll steer. Might...

I'd be totally happy with 12-15mpg. My 1997 Ford 29' class C gets about 9mpg.

I've found polypropylene or synthetic thermal garments work the best because they breathe better. Just before bedtime put on some fresh dry socks. You might think the socks you had been wearing all day would work, but they'll have some slight moisture that causes you to chill. Dry socks will...

^+1 I'm with ckelly78z here... I'd highly recommend to put only very lightweight items into the overhang so as to not overload the rear axle of the tow vehicle. The idea with trailers is to have a nominal tongue/goose weight, and place the bulk of your heavy loads centered over the trailer...

Seems like a bunch of height difference to deal with.  Brainstorming here... apparent options are a taller door, lower the floor, buy a shorter van, lower the existing van, or modify the existing van just for parking...  Lowering the van would affect ride and limit how you can use it.  Other...

So it seems everyone has their undies all in a bunch over this FB white van myth...  I'm thinking maybe you could just pose as a catering business and that might get you past a checkpoint without the proper creds...  You know, pretend like you're just some dumb working schmuck delivering fast...

Y'all are just too uptight.  Need to relax more, and freekin' chill...  Its all legit...

It's cheap to get the engine dye checked.  If it overheated it could be an issue with a head gasket or cracks...  The dye reacts to combustion gasses in the coolant.  Nothing you can do will solve a bad head gasket or crack other than a high-dollar fix.  Assuming the dye checks out kosher then...

@VanTrekker "I might order up a couple of magnets with graphics of bikes on them. The rack will sit on the back with at least one bike locked to it at all times. When I go out of town, I can park it about anywhere, possibly even near a residential area. A bike ride on a nearby trail is a great...

I have not had good experience using the bargain generic all-in-one steering kits.  The tie rods tend to wear out quickly even with frequent grease (inferior parts).  The main thing on our Ford vans that cause slop is the longest tie rod that goes from the steering box toward the right. That rod...

@badmotorscooter "C'mon low carb dieters, grab your bicycle or running shorts and just try to run me down..." Too much fun... I'd take you up on that offer!  My knees are total crap so I don't run but I do LOVE to ride my bike.  So lets roll out with plain water only, no carb powder, gels, or...

Different people have different takes on fiber and different experiences.  I do look at net carbs, and I find its the simple carbs that mess with me.  I will eat a few carbs depending on activity level, but usually squash, yams, or something with more fiber than simple potatoes or rice.  My...

Wow! An L6 is an awesome and very efficient engine, but that article has a lot of pseudo science and misinformation...  Advancing distributor timing on a computer controlled engine only serves to change the base or minimum timing. On an OBD2 the spark knock sensor will override the computer and...

Hi Adventuregurl, it's more about getting enough fat and less about the protein.  It's sometimes hard to get enough fat.  Basically, for me veggies are just a mechanism to add more fat, butter, olive oil, or avocado oil.  The mistake I made at first was eating too much protein, because it can...

Just rolled through Quartszite today on the way back from New Mexico to California.  Camped RV's seemed kinda sparse, not many visible from the roadway, but there were a ton of brand new mega dollar RV's staged at the main intersection.  Looks like they're getting ready for the season...
