So far I've got @JAG1 and @IBMobile here at my place. 

 

 

The very first night they got here @IBMobile dove in and fixed my passenger side window. I was having trouble with the window motor jamming up at the bottom. After a bit Dan got it fixed up and all put back together. Thanks IBMobile for the fix!

 

 

After that looked at his truck and passenger side front bearing is fried out. The next day I had to got to Lewiston for supplies anyways so I ran and got Dan's front wheel bearing and got it here. Today I've got a few side projects to handle like Tracie Reed and here 2010 6.7L Cummins and few other thing but I've got to get focused on getting my RV ready to go. 

 

 

Oh another weird on was on the first night that both JAG1 and IBMobile showed up good ol Chicken Man called up. Yes your right @dripley. He called up and we had a 4 person get together. JAG1 and IBMobile both enjoyed the phone call and everyone got a good laugh from it all. 

 

Really haven't had a lot of time with the guys yet but there is always today... (IBMobile on the left and JAG1 on the right)

Nice spread you have there! 

Add in the work done. I went on a ride with @IBMobile he started to have wheel bearing issues on the passenger side. I made the run to Lewiston, ID to get the unit bearing for him.  Dan got his front wheel bearing. Next we started to play with bearing on my trailer the first one we check had metal. I'm just going to pick up all 4 axle bearings and repack. My RV is going to get serious milage this time. I've got an appointment at 11am today to get new rubber on @Wet Vette Hyundai and new rubber on my truck. Tires are already been order and delievered to Riggins, ID and a killer price. 

 

All in all it been a blast having both @IBMobile and @JAG1 here.

It was good talking to the 3 of you. Hope all the repairs went well.

For once @JAG1 had no repairs and just came ot hang out. @IBMobile just had the wheel bearing issue on the passenger side. Then myself I'm nearly the end. Fresh rubber on the truck and the lil car too. Brake cable is ordered today and I gotta run to Ontario to get it. Then While I'm there I'm going to pick up the wheel bearing on the RV. Looking to make it down to Bullhead City Arizona soon.

I always get what's  called.

I really enjoyed talking with Dripley. I hope we get to meet over the campfire someday. I can tell it be fun. 

 

So fun to meet up with Mopar Man and have IBMobile at the same time poking me back for all the fun on the forum It was a blast.

 

It was good to meet Eileen too. I can tell she is a good person to keep Mike in line 

 

IBMobile got a new roof on his rv and I got a whole new A/C system and heater core in my work truck. Feels like a new truck. Win win situation

Well as for the RV I've been hunting yesterday. After 10 hours of driving down to Ontario and back home again. I found the wheel bearings at my local NAPA but then got my brake cable from O'reilly's down in Ontario. Make the day bad my bank now for the 5th time has shut down my debit card because it was stolen. WTF? It's still in my hands. So after a layover for an hour arguing with the bank I was finally able to get fuel in @Wet Vette Hyundai and then get a bite to eat. Just purchasing my brake cable in Ontario trip the fraud protection. even though on Tuesday I bought 1,100 dollars worth of tires but a $26 dollar brake cable is consider fraud. Go figure. 

 

Then just for making the trip later it now starts to rain this morning so, installing bearings isn't going to happen today. I'll get the truck parking brake done that's it.

 

It was awesome to have the guys stop by and hang out for a few days. I sure do miss both of them already and wish the weather was nice when they were here. I never got to show them much of anything because of the weather. Been raining just about every day. 

 

I'm still planning on going south...

I did all 4 corners of the 5th wheel earlier this spring. I had a hard time finding anyone that stocked US Timken bearings, goes to show the sad state of affairs when no one wants quality or US made for just a couple bucks more.  Anyhow, finally found a place in Nampa that could get them from the warehouse. It’s not a bad job, and well worth the time to ensure it’s safe to go on a road trip. 

Just trying to find a full set of 4 matching bearing is near impossible for me. Let a lone just asking for Timken's.

Yeah it’s not easy. 
 

I had to wait a week or so for mine, but I had the time. 
 

 

Were you able to find races too?

Edited May 17, 20204 yr by AH64ID

Yes sir. The local NAPA (Council, ID) actually had the full 4 set of bearings and races.

FYI, Wells Fargo requires me to advise them when I leave the state and dates/locations I will be in....

 

If I don't , bam, card gets locked down. At least the form is easy to fill out on line.

Seriously... this is stupid and pain in the . I've been buying fuel and parts from Ontario for the last 5 years no issue. I've been shopping now in Lewiston, ID and Clarkston WA and there was never a issue. Like yesterday I was denied at the very same Maverik Fuel station I've been using for 5 years in Payette, ID. Explain this one... But all my purchases in Lewiston and Clarkston have gone without a problem. 

Glad I dont have that problem in all the in the states l drive thru. Been using a wells fargo and amex card for the past 20 years. If I had to fill out something everytime l went to a different state, l would find another card.

It's not a big deal for me, easy peasy. I have had this account for 43 years, credit and debit are attached. Small town USA has two banks here, Wells Fargo and Arizona Bank, once you leave the state, Arizona Bank is useless.

Crossing 3 or more states it could be pain. Glad I dont have to do it. 

I was with Chevron for 46 years. Once they shut me down because I was one state away from home. Said card was stolen. After waiting on the phone so dang long and finally getting a person with such a thick accent I could not understand her except, that the card is stolen, I used my back up funds to get home. No big deal Chevron got cut up and tossed,even when they sent two new cards for my wife and I. 

 

@JAG1Finally I got the parking brake fixed today!

 

@dripley I've been the same way crossing into Ontario, OR and Clarkston, WA for the last 3 months. No issues now Fraud Protection is kicking my .  Now I've called around and talked to several banks and the trend is you must call before travel which personally think its  time. I think part of this is because the amount of people home with COVID-19 lock down. There must of been a spike in electronic crime. 

@NIsaacs I've been that way for 20 years and travelled all over the place. Never have I had to call the bank to tell them I'm travelling or have to use their app so it tracks my location. 

Oh... Just called my bank to inform them I would be traveling for work reasons... They informed me that I MUST call before each purchase so the fraud protection doesn't trip.  After arguing for over an hours I told them I'm done and will no longer be using there services. I'm in the process of transferring to a new bank... 

I bank with a local credit union.  I had them turn fraud protection off because I travel worldwide with very short notice.  Haven't had an issue since.
