    Retorquing split rim bolts

    For those of you that have them, how often are you retorquing the bolts on your rims? Not the lug nuts, but the 20 or so bolts holding the rim together. I have dbl design rims on my f550 and torque specs are 260 ft lbs. They loosen every so often. Loosen too much and you lose a wheel.

    Induction cook top sizing and brands?

    We have been using a cheap generic amazon 2 burner cooktop for a couple years now. No complaints. Cost was less than $120. I had been using a few sets of 6v golf cart batteries up until a year ago and they couldn't handle the amperage draw from the inverter. New lithium batteries have been no...

    F550 Wheel Spacers for super single conversion

    They do not change the bolt pattern so any wheel that already fit will fit with the spacers

    F550 Wheel Spacers for super single conversion

    5" wheel spacers designed to have the same track width front to back once dually rear wheels are converted to single rear wheels. These do not change the bolt pattern. They only space out the wheels 5" each side. Local pickup preferred. They weigh about 60lbs each. Buyer would have to pay for...

    Removing wheel spacers

    Looking for suggestions on removing some large 6" wheel spacers ony F550 (used to get sale track width front to back when removing dual rear wheels). They haven't been off for at least 2 years. Steel wheel spacer and steel hub. I've tried a 5lb slide hammer and a small propane torch, but no luck...

    Dodge Ram 5500 motorhome

    Why not just put Ina bigger cable between battery and alternator? You have dual alternators in that? My 6.7 diesel F550 has the dual alternator and charges the battery bank at 150 amps an hour through a 2/0 cable. No need for charging stations if you move around every 2 to 3 days. Just...

    International 3800 adventure bus build

    First thought was sooo much drag added and horrible aerodynamics. But it's a bus shaped like a brick, so no worse off. Not sure you have anything to worry about in losing your bus roots. It will be a sweet monster truck bus when you are done, but still a bus no matter what you do to it.

    International 3800 adventure bus build

    Exciting progress. Water tank. More is better, but maybe a hybrid design is best. Removable dinette tank might be a good option. Use with a transfer tank to refill your main tank. Either way, 2 tanks are nice. You don't have surprises when you run out of water if you have to manually...

    Turnkey Expedition Trailer - M116A1

    Annex comes on and off just like every other annex. It has that sail channel that it slides through. It's not so much as permanently installed as it is just not taken off. For me it was either leave it on or not use it since it wasn't worth the effort to put it on most days. There is an...

    Turnkey Expedition Trailer - M116A1

    Sorry, not willing to separate. Kind of a package deal. It's a pretty nice set up. Been all over the country and then some with it.
