Glad you made it home ok. And is sounds like no lumps from the misses so that's a good thing as well. Hope he makes it. My boy just made 2nd at regionals so next week is district track meet.

So have you desided on the shop's block or the ted's motor? If you find one from that Utah site let me know and we can do a road trip. I see you making the rounds.:thumbsup: You finaly get to slum it up on the hill or did you have to come back to the valley?:09:

I like that. Too bad my over head is filled with power for the GPS and camera monitor. That and I think it was too small for the placement of guages when I was looking. I'm going to mount my extra guages in a dash top mounted pod. With all the extra guages, the monitor for back up camera, GPS...

When my head gaskets went, I had the same steam coming from all teh same places. But mine was sucking the coolant into the cylinders not pushing air into the cooling system. I had coolant going into the crank case as well. The gasket went that bad. After all was said and done, and I got the new...

Being in the NW I have found three types of "camping". State/BLM land camping. Privately owned grounds. And private grounds club members. I used to do the State/BLM type all the time. Most cases it's free(drive in for miles and find a logging landing or primitive grounds) or small fee. Other...

The few parks we had stayed in over the years with the exception of two were year specific on who stayed. Short or long stay didn't matter. The one we settled in here in Boise let us stay. They went off of the year first then looks. Talking to them I guess there had been some that were newer but...

I got my pillar pod from Glowshift. The fit was hinky at first but found it was from it sitting in the shipping box for too long. Kind of twisted it. I hit it with the wifes hair dryer(when she was gone from the house) for a few minutes and it went back into shape quickly. I put the trans temp...

I have found when out looking, you can open up one of the exteral compartments and look at the framing around the opening to see if it was alum or wood framed. Sometimes. We moved and was living in our HR Alumalite 5er and that thing was awsome. We used electric heaters in it to save on the LPG...

This had me looking at the local craigslist and I found a real nice Alumalite XL for 2k. But its a 37' fifth wheel and it' in Vancouver, Washington. There is alot of trailers out there for cheap. Just a matter of keeping ones eyes open. John

And be sure to go up top and look at the roof. When looking for the gem we have now, we found alot that had no signs visible from the inside but found splits in the roofing. Those were mostly the EPDM roofs. EPDM will shrink some from years of neglect and leak around vents and whatnot and not be...

We went from a 95 Shadow Cruiser to an 88 Holiday Rambler. The SC was a heavy crappy trailer to say the least. I for one will never have a rubber roofed trailer again. The SC was a 24' fifth wheel and was 7300#. The HR is a 28' and is less than that. I have yet to weigh it. I know it's less as...

No rust but we do have MOSS! That green slimmy crap is on everything. Nothing like buying a white pick up only to have it turn green in just a few years. John

I just had this very same thing. Cleaned everything and still the same. Replaced the batteries and still the same thing. Ended up having to replace the starter as it just got so bad. It would start slow in the morning. Let it sit for about 6 hours and it would start. But try to start it while...

I switched to the Rotella synthetic a couple years ago and love it. Runs smoother, easier to start, a little quieter and gained about 1.3 MPG after a couple of tanks. I was running 110.10 miles a day comute, so I figured what the heck. I'm still changing the oil every 5k. The only negetive I...

I've not had a problem with it yet. The engine heat under the hood should keep it from having any ill effects. Plus it's up high. There is an add on heating unit I can get for it and add if and when I need it. It screws into the bottom and is run off of a switch in the cab. It gets cold here but...

I put a few pix of my install in my garage.

<<<Would you be able to send pics of this assembly>>> I have pix of the same exact set up on mine. I'll get some posted in my garage tomarrow when i get on the other computer. Nice clean set up and well worth the money and time spent on it. John

Thanks, Brother. The one on the CS-130 is quite a bit larger. Not to big of a deal. It is just one nut. Now to find that niffty back bracket. Me thinks a trip to the bone yard is in order for saturday. Along with the 9 blade fan. Another day of wrenching on the family truckster. LOL John

So other than the bracketting nothing else will need to be changed. The CS-144 I picked up has a roughly 2 7/16" pulley on it. Or should I just swap for the one that is on the CS-130 currently in the truck? Not to toot horns or anything, but I just picked it up for,.....................Free! A...

The head gaskets took us to zero money for anything else. This took around 1600 bucks to get the heads and gaskets three times.:mad2: Those heads were flawless the last time. So $950 is out of the question for us now. :nonod: So your saying to take the front of the engine apart now to look...
