1st week of Dec will drive my 3/4 cargo van from Fort Bragg (Fayetteville) NC area to Albany NY and back at end of week. Will have space available both there and back. Also have Reese hitch good for 7k.

Remember, no amount of of technology can fix stupid. Use all tools wisely. Always be aware of your surroundings.

I have had them on several vehicles. You get what you pay for. Get the cheep wireless one from Pep Boys, and you will hate it. The one on my full size Chevy cargo van is great. It is the one from Pioneer, and was a bit pricey

My generator/alternator did not like going for a swim. It shorted out and drained the batteries. Batteries survived, alternator did not.

State Farm commercial. 14k lbs.

I started at the valve stem and worked my way in from there. Was too leary of messing with any bolts/nuts. Seen too many things get launched that way. Very good entertainment value if you can watch someone else do it from a safe distance!

I just started taking apart the CTIS on that wheel. Could not get the air out until I poked a wielding rod into the 3/8 ntp nipple.

Mine came from the SC National Guard. They disabled the CTIS, and pumped red RTV into everything on the front passenger tire. That took a while to clean out. Same pressure measurment problem you have.

I won't be home for a week or so, but could help you then. Would need the pick&up docs and bill of lading for the shipping co.

Why not just put if in line with the neutral switch? KISS! If installed on the passenger side of.the shift column, driver would not.see.it. Any keyed SPST switch should work fine.

How deep are your pockets, and how hard core do you offroad? As this is a daily driver, on paved roads most of the time, limited slip in rear, open front diff. Avoid full lock up automatic as they can be a bit exciting when powering through a corner. Next step up would be ARB Air lockers...

Brings to mind a bumper sticker I once saw: "Bad cop, no donut" No disrespect intended, just funny.

I'm in the power generation business. We have customers that burn straight crude in their 200,000 HP gas turbines. Those that have the best light sweet crude (Saudi) still totally trash the hot gas path components. Their turbines require total refurbishment on a yearly basis. Their avoided...

That is what they normally do. Blow it out with air, then pump a bunch of new clean trans fluid through lines and cooler.
