    Who has a corn furnace?

    I'm anxiously awaiting the delivery of mine. It's supposed to be here in the next couple weeks. I think the brand is A-Maize-Ing Heat. I was hoping to not have to buy any LPG this winter, but I didn't have the cash to buy one when I should have. I guess I got it ordered soon enough, because new...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) "Fixed" my dead pedal

    Okay, this has happened too many times to be coincidence. Every time I run enough #2 through it (either bio not available or I'm too lazy to drive to get it), I get the dead pedal, dying VP thing. Fuel level, ambient temp, load or no load, it's all the same. Soon as I get some some b20 in it, it...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) "Fixed" my dead pedal

    It was pretty bad after a Memorial Day weekend trip pulling our TT. If I let it slow down in 4th or 5th for a few seconds and stepped on it, the engine would slowly climb to about 1500 rpms. I could push the clutch in and rev it up for a second, then it would run fine- if I didn't slow down...

    Strangest 5th wheel setup.

    I saw those advertised in one of the auto trader magazines. It was hooked up behind an Excursion. Pretty goofy looking, and maybe a bit scary. Seems like trading for a travel trailer would make more sense.

    Towing a trailer behind your 5th wheel?

    A Jeep sure does seem like a lot a weight behind a fifth wheel, especially on a trailer. This kind of towing is pretty popular around here, but I've never seen anything more than a boat or trailer with motorcycle or ATV,etc. I did see someone pulling a medium sized pontoon once, glad he was...

    Roadranger Autoshift 10 speed

    Need to pat NFPA on the back for coming up with that one. We have an Autoshift in a 2000 KW with a 460 hp N-14 and 4. 56 gears, and a 3000ish gallon tank, full stainless body with all kinds of compartments, and a 1500gpm pump on the front, weighs about 60,000. Runs good, if your used to heavy...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Engine Surge after Edge EZ Installed

    Mine was doing the same thing, with a Comp. Runs normal when I turn it off. Just started this winter, about when my LP started to get weak. Still fighting with the dealer about warranty replacement on that one. Actually, the dealer has been great, they are fighting about it for me. But that's...

    Brand new junk?

    Now the finance manager has called him four times and says it is "imperative" that he goes there ASAP to sign something they missed. So the truck may not be his anyway. I think the service dept said something about APPS. Jeff

    Brand new junk?

    A friend of mine picked up a new 05 Monday nite. He drove it around for half an hour while his salesman finished up with another customer, took care of business, and left. He drove 15 miles up the road, gets off the freeway, and the engine light comes on and the engine stumbles at the end of the...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tow Hooks - where can I get some

    Tow hooks weren't an option, so you couldn't have ordered them anyway. You have to buy them out of the mopar accessories catalog. I don't know if they are still available, they usually don't have a lot of stuff for non-current models. Good luck.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2002 4x4 front ball joints....warranty item?

    I had ball joints and track bar replaced covered by 3/36 warranty. You're under 36,000, but are you under 36 mos?

    Cummins not highly thought of in OTR trucks

    I drove an 04 ISX last year and was definitely unimpressed. No torque off idle, I could pop the clutch and count to three before it started to pull. Big disadvantage when you're trying to get 160,000 lbs. started up a grade, or on a soft job site. Nothing like a Cat. Once I got up in the top two...

    Off Roading Cummins Brushtruck

    If you look really close at that bumper,there is a spray nozzle above the foglight, bottom side of the horizontal bar. VERY convenient.

    N/W Suburban, Detroit Area Camping?

    There is a KOA in Belleville,also. Reasonably nice, easy access to I-94. Also, the Silver Lake state park is day use only,no camping. Sterling State Park in Monroe is brand spanking newly renovated, easy access to I-75, straight up I-275 to Livonia. I live about 45 mins from Detroit, been...

    steering wheel cover

    Has anyone used some kind of protectant, conditioner, etc. to keep the sweaty palms from destroying the leather? Just got a new one installed under warranty, which just ran out this morning.

    service contract?

    30,400 miles and going in for ball joints and track bar on Friday. I had it in last week to get the window fixed, and had them check the front end. Kinda suprised me when the service manager told me, said it's pretty common on 2500 diesel 4X4s. In the BS session before I went home, he and the...

    Has anyone seen the Dec. issue? I learned a lot about engine braking :confused: .

    turbo silencer ring ?

    Took mne out about a year ago. Can't even hear it unless the passenger window is open. But I drive a big truck 12-14 hours every day, so maybe I'm immune.

    Wish I'd had a camera...

    One of our short doubles- five axle dump, six axle trailer- pooped out a power divider, so the boss hooked the cable up to his pickup and pulled it 10-12 miles back to the shop. Would have made a good Dodge commercial. The truck can legally gross 148k, weighs a little over 50k empty :eek: Who...

    "Bully Dog- More power....

    The dealer's name is O'Hara. They're at the corner of US-12 & M-52, west of Clinton. They also sell a lot of new trucks with suspension lifts, big wheels and tires, loud exhaust, etc. ,so who knows what they are up to. Still haven't made it in. Maybe it'll rain enough tonite and I'll get a day...
