    Mild Winter

    Don't think so.......don't have much faith in weather "people" but migratory critters are rarely if ever wrong. Migratory fish and birds have been on the move for a couple of weeks. Must have been 200 geese on the back corn field last week.

    Titan/Dico actuator model 10

    If it's like every other actuator I've ever used, there is a wire/chain connected to the lever that gets attached to the hitch to actuator the lever in case of a "Break Away"

    Fuel use meter?

    There is no cheap way around the situation. With so many different engine manufacturers involved, you would probably be better off installing a third party, in-line NMEA 2000 Fuel Flow sensor which could then feed any NMEA 2000 Certified Display to process and store the flow and consumption...

    Trailer surge brakes

    What your saying is correct about "Force" available at the actuator, but it does not address the displacement of the master cylinder which plays a pivotal role in the conversion of Force to Pressure. My actuator (foot print) is available in #6,600, #7,0000 and #7,500 rated units. Same fit...

    Check valve / recirculation replacements? loopers and crossflows

    As you have found, Chem-dip is not going to clean brass and stainless very well. You need alkalinity (pH 1) to clean brass and stainless. Diluted sulfuric acid works very well. As do a number of soak cleaners developed specifically for the plating industry

    Trailer surge brakes

    My first thoughts…….unless you replaced the brake actuator with larger, higher output model you’ve decreased your braking capacity 20% or more going from 10” to 12” drum brakes. I say “or more” because 20% only takes into account the increased torque (F= T x R) from the radius change. Don't...

    U/V light to control mold etc in basement, attic?

    Not a fan of UV cleaners in any shape, form or function Worked as a janitor in a Research laboratory while in high school. They used UV lighting to sterilize the room when not in use. Long story short, stripped and buffed the floor in a lab one night. For whatever reason, the UV lighting...

    Trailer surge brakes

    Looks like Bruce 58 and I run the same Kodiak disc setup. I run stainless backed, ceramics pads on mine…much better pad, or should I say much better backing plate life than the stock pads Salt only…got almost 8 years out of the last set of calipers before the piston in one of seized up...

    What percentage of value of motor do you replace? How much to spend on parts motor?

    The major highway I take to work has been shut down twice in the past month. Both incidences involved tractor trailer fires. Both fires where limited to a small portion of the trailer. The fire last week burned a 2 ft. wide section of the trailer thru both sides and the roof leaving nothing...

    The piezo in the transducer is shot. Time for a new unit

    This whole thing stinks of a temp sensor gone bad

    How does RV financing work?

    Be careful…..married a girl that kept a horse at her parents place. Fast forward and she now has four horses, youngest daughter has two more, and I’m Head Groundskeeper and Maintenance Manager of a 30 acre horse farm in my spare time…..lol

    Curious - extended warranty 2012 F150

    I never have nor will I ever buy an extended warranty on anything…. You wouldn't have spammers calling twice about a day to pitch extended warranties if the odds of them paying out are not heavily weighted in their favor.

    Safest way to pay for items from private, out of state sellers ?

    I want my money back. Can I cancel a payment? Canceling a completed payment immediately is generally not an option because the other party already has the money. Contacting the seller is usually the best way to resolve a problem. You can find their contact details by going to your Activity and...

    Hydraulic steering

    It's not the age... its the cold. The last boat I ran that started leaking fluid was only 2 seasons old. I know guys that have problems every year when the temps drop. https://www.google.com/search?q=seastar+cold+weather+leaks&client=firefox-b-1-d&cs=0&filter=0&biw=1366&bih=615&dpr=1#ip=1...
