Having broken 2 wheel studs over the years, I would now not rely on anything but my trusty torque wrench for ANY wheel nuts. I keep an inexpensive one in the trailer just in case, keeping the good...

They're pretty impressive. The Fast Lane Truck has a good video with good detail on many of the improvements.
At times like this I'm glad I have no money so choosing is not a problem :banghead:

I use a coiled 50' hose with dedicated pressure regulator and 90* elbow for our black tank flush. Stores small but always has enough reach.

I would use Eternabond tape on both sides (front/rear) of the hole so they adhere to the wall and each other. You could probably patch a submarine that way and go a long time without concern :D

Replacing the entire breakaway cable & ancillaries cost me a whopping $2.45 last week; well worth it I'd say. I feel much better pulling now.

Congrats on the purchase!
A 28', 5200lb trailer is a big sail; it has a LOT of side area with little weight; it will push around a half ton. Make sure your trailer is level when hooked up, and the...

Is it just me, or are Ford one tons lower (ride height) than Dodge or Chev/GMC? I love the stance of the Ford 350/450's.

Well played! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on their lifespan and pulling characteristics. It's always nice to have lots of capacity headroom- I hope they treat you well.

I wondered how effective the chocks would be as they're SOOO long and extended with spread axles, making them wobbly? It also puts a lot of stress on the axles & mounting components, pushing the...

Hmm. I'm the minority here; I put a set on our '12 Ram 1500 CCSB to pull our 7K lb 32', and we hated them! because of the soft, saggy rear, the truck sat "loaded" on the Timbrens, and the ride was...

When anyone else has purchased this tape, does it say "Eternabond" anywhere on it, or is it just a roll of white-backed tape which could easily be a no-name knock-off?
