I haven't locked mine out in a long time, since I feel that touchy loads are better moved with the suspension working. At least on less than flat ground. But as I recall, push the clutch in and pull (or push?) the yellow button behind the passenger seat. What I don't remember is if you have to...

Is there fluid in the rear hydraulic tank?

If you need extra lifting, don't forget that a pair of Hi-Lift jacks can be used in the corner pockets. I've never tried lifting the end of a container with the backhoe, so I don't know how well that works. But I'll be moving two containers here pretty soon, and the HMMH's forklift is out of...

While I understand your quest for perfect timing, aren't there too many potential variables? Let's say that the balancer's markings aren't right on, for example. I would adjust for best performance, then take a reading for future reference, not worrying about what the number is.

You should hear air rushing in when loosening the fuel cap (after running the engine for a while) if it is plugged.

Exactly! Although I've been doing fairly well, having sold four or five vehicles, a camper, and two trailers in about a year. Still have a ways to go, though. I'd like to spend more time driving and less time on maintenance at this point. And that's with a girlfriend who has four cars, two...

Thanks, rflegal. But I have since (stupidly) downgraded to a 3500 and a regular toyhauler, so I really should sell that setup. Or at least the trailer.

Why the pessimism?? When registering my 359 Peterbilt here I said it's a motorhome. It's a typical over the road tractor with a 63-inch sleeper that I use as an RV. No problems at all.

Easier yet, pull the strainer out, either permanently or while fueling up. At least in my case there's definitely no lack of venting capacity around the nozzle with that large filler neck, but the strainer hinders the fuel flow.

Seems like you can register just about anything here in NM.

As glcaines pointed out, you can adjust the resistance with the pivot bolt. Anyway, it sounds to me that it would be cruel to the clutch to have the idle set any higher than it has to be. Again, I use the pedal to raise the rpm as needed during operation. Then again, I very rarely use the...

I must be missing something here. As long as the hand throttle doesn't turn the engine off, why does it matter? I use the regular foot pedal to vary the rpm to whatever is needed at the moment. When using the backhoe it would be a different story, as I like to set the rpm at 1,000 to 1,400 or...

You're a braver man than I am, glcaines. Not that I ever noticed that large gap, but if you really want to experience a huge gap, try driving a Daihatsu HiJet.

When/if I get around to play with the fuses - at this point only a taillight or two works, but all the useful stuff still does - I'll put some dielectric grease on there. That may not be what you had in mind, Ahab, as it's non-conductive. But that's what generally used on electrical...

I can't imagine trying to change the filters through that hole. Not when it's relatively easy to slide the hood out of the way. But bleeding, yes. Had one filter housing with a broken off bleeder screw. Drilled and tapped for larger ones, but haven't put that one back in service yet. It was...

I've had them come off the bead at maybe 15 psi, but don't you have the official air-up-from-the-SEE hose??

You can check function by bridging the sensor on top of the cooler. My fans very rarely run, except when using the snowblower, but one did die on the Winter SEE. Stupidly stole one from the Summer SEE (which was supposed to be a parts car), so I ended up getting a close copy - off of eBay, I...

Somewhere along the border?

Nothing wrong with powder extinguishers...as long as it's someone else's vehicle that's on fire.

Doesn't really matter. Unless your FLU still belongs to the military, and they decide to have it freshened up.
