Backup lights were not standard equipment until the 60's. My 57 truck doesn't have them. --- Update to the previous post... Thanks!

My wife is dealing w a local RV place. The cost is about twice as much, but oh well, like you said! They online co. did let us keep the wrong side escape hatch lid because they didn't want to be hampered w the exchange.:shrug:They did list it wrong. Thanks, Dave --- Update to the previous post... Yes the base on mine is plastic but seem to be fine for right now. I did measure the outside vent dimensions but when I gave those it was like I was speaking in Chinese. That's the only lid that I have that it that size. Thanks camper guys! Dave

You can adjust it up a little, your's is adjustable right? I the cooler weather I lost a 1/2-1 PSI. I may do the same on my Raptor. Dave

Is the steering box brace mainly for 4x4's?Dave

I wonder if my 3500 would have one, it doesn't have a backup light in the tail light housing I don't think. mines an all red Sport model. Maybe they just did it w this model. There are times. when I could use some light back there. I'd could use a setup like Michael has! Dave

Hi War Eagle, I think that was the answer Flat Twin was looking for, nice! Dave

Nice work on the lights & write up.:cool:Dave

I bookmarked that one! Good to know & great recommendation!Dave:stuned:

What will you do about the weeping? 240K, I'm still on my original WP at 191K, hope I still have some life in mine! Thanks & good luck, Dave

Yep, that's what I have while it's sitting. Maybe some good ol' duct tape & lexan if it doesn't make it before we use it this weekend. That's what I will do next time, take the part in. The label is long gone!:banghead: Thank you, Dave

I was wondering about all the hype of going to a 4". Thanks for the facts CLUTCH! I was curious since I keep having to put the Mig to mine, for the low price, it could be justified. Dave

Russ I agree!

Hi All,I'm new again to this camper thing so, my escape hatch vent rotted was so bad on a recent tailgate the lid blew off on the way home.So my question, my opening is 21x14 & my lid was 22x15 whey do they ask me for my rough opening measurement? I don't know that for sure all I know for sure are those two? I ordered one w those & they sent me some big honkin thing! My wife is furious w me for not knowing this stuff!:duh:Help,Dave

Ole Betsy, what a beast! Was that a stock 12Ver? I'm to the point now that I need a pair of those factory mirrors too! Dave --- Update to the previous post... Nice job! It's a dump right? I sure can use one between the firewood & manure it would sure save my back! Dave

Hi Dripley, I hope so as well. How many miles on your CTD when this happened? Dave

So how did this work out for you? It seemed at first like you were getting coolant in your oil. Maybe I misread? Problem solved?

Yep, save yourself lots of trouble by getting a new gauge kit! I have a cheapo mech unit that I placed the sensor into my stock pan. But if you have the money, go with an after market pan as well to get additional cooling & extra fluid capacity as well!

Really? How cool is that!

Cool! A friend of mine also said that nearby Summit Auto Parts has some good deals. they make their own line I was told!

That's what she likes! --- Update to the previous post... Is that a dump trailer, one of the military style ones?

The clips are there but that's it, must not be that necessary, Anywho, I want to hear mine rattle!

BTW, cajflynn, congrats on your million mile mark w your 53 Block! Amazing! Go CTD all the way! Dave

This is are great forum!
