  2. @videoarizona Since no one else has asked, I will. What is the secret to a long trailer bearing life as stated by the Bearing Buddy lady?
  3. I spent 32 years in the automotive manufacturing industry. When I hired in it took almost 4000 people across 3 full shifts to produce our products. When robotics first started appearing we laughed at them as both robots and stamping dies were destroyed while trying to implement them. 3 months and they were gone. 1 year later they were back and working amazingly well ! Within 5 years our employment went down to less than 2000 people. New tech since then has the plant producing twice as much product with only 600 employees across 3 shifts. Great for the company, Ok for quality, but dismal at best for the surrounding community's economy. Most of the restaurants, bars and other businesses that workers supported have closed up and vacant storefronts now stand where there was once a vibrant local community. Multiply this by at least 10 for just the auto plants that were nearby, many others just plain closed down and moved south of the border into mexico.

  5. Sorry to hear about your accident and especially your injuries. Like Saddlebum said, the right surgeon can make all the difference. Best of luck on a quick recovery. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  6. I recommend you.send me 2 plane tickets and a visa prepaid card and I'll deliver the car there. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  7. Just like my headers on the GS , the only gaskets that SEAL and last are solid Copper. They are more expensive but work and will transfer heat well.
  8. You may be bikeless,but you are not friendless as long as you choose to hang around here. Best of luck on wherever life takes you.
  9. I'll share them with ya
  10. Well,,, which would you choose? This one ? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/01395682ad26b5de84b83e1fef7fce8c.jpg Or these two ? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/c40ed4fb4e11961fb89bb2f34727fb4b.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/bf0779c0a7af56aa6dccb70efcc6c206.jpg Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  11. Stroker has the right idea. If you must use gaskets, get copper gaskets if they are available. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

  13. Looks like Larry or Randy will have to put this one together, Jeannie & I are going to be in North and South Carolina. Sorry we won't be able to join the party. We're going to do Halloween with the grand kidz. [emoji89] Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

  15. Carl, when I redid my Pontoon last spring, I ran into the same thing, what I did is to just staple it going around each way, they almost met at the front of the helm. Works great and no wadded up wire. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  16. Congratulations to everyone , what a cutie. I see she has a hat just like grandpa ! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  17. Do it ! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  18. I've always had Carrier in my homes and have been very happy with their performance. Very few repairs over the years. I am going to replace it with another Carrier. DJ thank you for your offers and insight 👍 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  19. Thanks buddy, i knew you'd have my back! [emoji12] [emoji6] Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  20. Thanks for the offer but with the heat exchanger and draft inducer shot and the unit being 13 years old, I'm just going to replace it. I have a hunting buddy in the HVAC business thats going to install a new unit. Either a carrier or bryant gas packaged 3 ton, 90k. Both are made by the same company, which would you recommend? I don't have model numbers yet but both are single stage. We will be selling this place in the next 5 years so im not gonna pony up for the high end equipment. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  21. Not sure what I did to piss off the mechanical gods but I can't take much more! Last year I replaced 1 of the 2 furnaces in my house $1600 (cracked heat exchanger), while that was being done I fired up my fireplace only to find that it had a rotted casing (heatolator type) $2000 to rebuild hearth. Next the bike needed a stator. Yesterday we went to start up the 2nd furnace for the first time this year, NO HEAT! found that the inducer fan wheel rusted and fell apart. This unit is a packaged gas heat/AC unit on a slab outside that is 13 years old, the inducer assy. is about $200, so before buying it I thought it a good idea to inspect the heat exchanger on it, YEP wouldn't ya know... 2 rust holes on 1 tube so I am now waiting to hear if the heat exchanger is still covered by warranty. the unit is a carrier 3 ton, 90K I really need to hit the lotto this week !
  22. Don's was a Hannigan RSV IRS Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  23. No different than a car as for maintenance of an IRS trike. A few grease fittings, maybe a bearing hub assembly or u-joint at some point. Given the superior ride characteristics of an IRS, it's well worth the possibility of a failed part after a thousands of (s)miles.
  24. Ya can't go wrong with an independent rear suspension system Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  25. We will make it happen, we got a little time to figure it out. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
