Hey, I'm glad someone finally found a website with a blow up sheep. It's kind of hard to pack a real one on a plane, etc.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] That made me laugh.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Oh, and the weather difference is called "inversion." Webster: An atmospheric condition in which the air temperature rises with increasing altitude, holding surface air down and preventing dispersion of pollutants. I am at 6500 ft. and Salt Lake is at 4000-4500 ft. (it's warmer where I am at than Salt Lake City).

 

LJ's been working. We yack over on Yahoo Messenger almost daily. When he's not working he's out shooting with his Cannon Didigal Rebel. He's getting better. Had to give him a few tips. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

That damn inversion layer always makes it foggy here.

Creator, Here's a trailer a friend and I looked at today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] He's buying one to haul his new BMW VR1200[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] in[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img](Sweet bike too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] anyways, you mentioned a 7' wide with wheel wells outside. Here you go 7' wide trailer The construction looked good and they use 3/8 inch plywood to line the inside. Cost was around $4,000 depending on what it has[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I think it had a 7k GVW or maybe 10k[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]I'm confused now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] we looked at so many[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I'm just finishing up business around here. Everything is set to load in the AM. Even have the ice chest filled. Only should have to kick the stupid dog once to get out of the house. I hate that dog. Anyways....

MD...did you see my second post for the guy with the Z71? I'm not sure anyone could have read it in 3 minutes (time diff. between my post and yours). At least he's looking for the right answers. Seems receptive to me for towing legal.

Yea, I hate my dogs too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yes, I read it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It really doesn't take that long to read[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Especially seeing, I know a little bit about towing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] and we've been down that road before[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Plus, I did pass 3rd grade[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] even though I was 10 when I did[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

MD , i think it's time you and i wheeled and dealed on this Suzuki Factory Manual I have for the LT160!! Yep, I sold the 160 today.... $1360 US for a '94. I think the guy got a pretty good deal, but it was a little rough. I looked at Repairmanuals.com and they show the manual to be for all models from 1989-2004. And this is Factory, NOT one of those Clymers (which are okay, but no where near as specific or good). so PM me, and we'll see what we can do. repairmanuals wants $55 US plus shipping. I'll be much gentler than that.

 

Staying on the original topic as we always do here in the FBK forum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I was talking to a salesman/owner for a cargo trailer. Overheard a conversation with a Ford dealer about an issue with his F350 DW 4X4 when braking. He has a radical shaking when braking when towing his 5th wheel trailer. The trailer is 7500 and he figures he has 1800 on the bed mounted hitch which is not much for this truck. he has been having this problem since new (4 years) and the dealer has seen this truck shake like he states but has not come up with a solution to date. They last told him today to try airbags to change the driveline angle when braking [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I think it is a waste of his money and time and feel that Ford should step up and try to repair this problem. the owner states that he has found many owners that have the same problem when towing.

Anyone have this issue and have fixed it?

 

creator, do you mind not stayin on topic.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] The TV ads for the new F350s seem to show it has some kinda built in electronic brake controller that senses the load/weight/conditions, and automatically adjusts ( the one where the guys pulling a big, enclosed trailer on a mountain hwy in the rain, and comes up to a flagman unexpectedly). well, i don't always embrace technology... just like when ABS first came out, it was wierd getting used to the feeling of your brake pedal pounding against your foot while the ABS does the auto-pump thing. anywho, just wonder if it doesn't have something to do with this wonderful technology, or maybe the angle of his 5th wheel???

I agree, this should be looked after by Ford, without the slightest threat from the guy. they should be bending over to accomodate him and fix it, he shouldn't have to scream and whine. Hey, what about those lemon laws that let you give it back for full refund or exchange after so many problems??? Isn't that an option?

AND...we have no such laws in Canada, cuz we're not that socialist!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] you pinkos![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

He has been very level headed and we discussed the lemon law. That's where I would go with this one. How about Ford swapping it out fer a new one? Can't fix it? Then give me one that can baby![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
