Re: Bleeding update: caliper not releasing? Re: [Safarifriends] One

'A couple of years ago I had my front b rake caliper on the drivers side locking up after a short time in stop & go traffic. The brake was dragging so bad you could smell the lining burning. I ended up taking it to a truck tire shop and they replaced brake lines, caliper and rotor. The brake lin...

Re: Which Residental Fridge would You Recommend?

'If your plan is to run your refrigerator on 12 volts through the inverter, be conscious of the power drain. Though the refrigerator may state it only draws 1.4 amps, that's at 120 volts. That will equate to 14+ amps inverted at the batteries. I say 14+ amps because ther 14 amps from the refrigerato...

'You may have the gas valve in the back of the ridge turned off. Pull the exterior cover for your fridge and you'll see a small red T valve handle about 2/3 the way up. I got my coach back after service and the gas side wouldn't come on. I tore my hair out till I found the shop had turned the gas of...

Re: HydrroMax Brake Pedal Pressure - what is "Normal"?

'The previous owner, a professional electrician, put a toggle switch imder the booster switch and replaced the solenoid to full duty. The problem was by the time I figured out what was happening there was not enough battery to trip the solenoid. I couldn't even put on the 4way flashers with what I h...

'It was a real cardiac thumper, since I was on a hill looking down. It's a bad time to discover the combiner switch is powered off the chassis batteries, so I couldn't cross over from House to get electricity to the back up pump or anything else, including the hazard lights. 95 Serengeti 38' Magnum ...

If weight at the arms was an issue there would  be some form of a doubler under the skin and something other than sheet...
