Re: Upgrading Front Seats?

Hello Oldbagpipe,

Would you provide the model names and/or SKU#s of the seats and the jack knife?

Re: Roadtrek has shut down!

Hi Skater, Thanks for the update! It appears the entire "new" RV industry is going through a big Reset. (As well as some "well known" dealers.)Thank goodness for our blog, other blogs, and YouTubers for bringing more of the problems and abuses out in the open. The value of well-m...

Re: Universal joints or ?/ 4EOD

Thanks Skater and David P. E4OD, got it. The transmission fluid was changed when the u joints were replaced. You may be right about "masking" the problem. The noise/slipping happens at 35-45 mph under light load or applying light load after a bit of "coasting". It is a whirring n...

Re: Tips for spark plug removal?!?

Any pictures of tools/extension used would be helpful. My mission is on a 1993 460- five out of eight done so far.

Thanks to all.

Re: Buying it back...

Bang away, skater! Gotta love anything you can fix with a hammer, a screw driver, and some duct tape. Congrats on the reunion!
