Is a post going between the front and rear doors? Nice to look at the progress.

It came out good and the two little pebbles he is talking about came off my shoes. It got sticky fairly fast and the OSB plywood being like camo, you couldn't see the two 1/8th inch pieces of gravel stuck there until the membrane got laid over. It was at the end with not anywhere to stand without standing on the adhesive. You had to work kind of fast so your adhesive did not get too dry, it's not an easy job with most of the work in the preparation. There where places in the roof where the insulation was not there and some not cut very snug. We really helped his RV a lot with that as we opened up the front and removed all the vents.

Never thought of that...... would be a problem for floating homes too. We have hundreds of them out West. So a Rolling Dock is only anchored at the shore and rolls up out of the way?

That's my signature on it, ya know...... What do you expect from 'Flintstone RV Repair' on Pebble Road. Oh it's so nice BTW, to have A/C last summer. I found every excuse in the book to go get stuff all summer long.

Are you allowed to build a boat dock there? I just got done building one. We have been cleaning up the mess from fallen trees and branches. So much of it I rented a 13,000 lb mini excavator to help me. Lost a lot of 6-8 inch trees and two large 24 inchers. Many branches piled up around each big tree. I guess it's Gods way of getting rid of the weak ones.

Hey that 12 inch bubble that was on the RV roof after I put new roof on, it is gone. I vowed never to tell you about it being your a short guy and can't see up there anyhow. Truck is beautiful, especially the pic sitting in the sunlight.

Hello everyone, just got my laptop repaired and got it back..... Does anyone know where @IBMobilenew paint job pictures are? I looked a little but need to get back working outside. The ice storm really hit us hard in our small woodland.

@Dieselfuture Your truck looks like the inside of a Dodge Ram 747 I like it!

Hope the weather breaks for you Mike Nelson and you get a lot done. Don't forget to clean up the burnt hot dogs left on the manifold. Our weather here is just now showing signs of spring. What a relief to go out in the sunshine after nothing but rain, ice and snow for weeks. 10 days without power was enough...... I even found myself carrying the flashlight still, even tho the lights were on. My truck has a problem with the wipers working and then not working. Been doing that everytime I go out. Then they will work, but very slowly. Next time they work fast like they are a new truck . I got the main wiper ground on the cowel cleaned, seemed to help a little. Next is the G100 grnd in front of the drivers battery, even tho cleaned last year, I think the factory may have not stripped all the wires for that terminal. Thanks to Wil440 he found that to be his problem. Last summer IBMobile took a couple of us on this most amazing mountainous highway.

Thank you for the excellent write up. It's explained very well.

W-T been drillin me lately and I know he would agree. Electrons are flowing from the negative to the positive. Negative is loosing and positive is gaining electrons. Kinda like this website is positive cause everyone leaves the dealership (negative) and flows to Mopar1973Man (positive). BTW hdpwimonkey, that is a nice truck you have and glad you found the problem.

What.......... 6-8 feet of snow Where......... over MoparMans area.

We just got our power back and able to participate. What I do is plug in the night before or anytime during a snow/ice storm and it keeps the windows clear of snow/ ice when you open the dash defrost vents. Only a wee bit warmer in the cab which means in my climate the doors aren't covered in ice to where I can't get the doors open. Like this last ice storm both trucks got glazed with an inch of ice because they were not plugged in and power went out. We had a warm rain move over ground temps of 25 degrees. Trees down power out for 9 days. It crippled a lot of areas out my way.

I hear that and also the words from my Uncle, ''Don't be jumping down off trucks like that or someday your knees will be really bad". Now 69 and I think I just did my last jump..... never felt this much pain ever and now know what he's talking about. Guess I been lucky. Now I carry a small ladder to go up and down as I don't ever want that pain again. Problem tho..... all those beautiful ladies will think I'm old doing that. Really tho who cares as it's smart to take care of yourself. Work good, but don't get hurt. We just completed a 10 by 57 boat dock using Trex deck and patterns in the decking. It came out nice. Monday meet the electrician for the perimeter lights. You cannot forget one tool tho or is 104 tall steps by the time you get back down to the water

Good point and I'm glad the rest of the wiring is found to be in good shape. On my old 7 pin RV connector the main ground in the center pin had never been stripped. They just tightened it to what they thought would puncture the wire insulation with the clamp screw. In taking it apart there was only one small strand of a braid touching the clamp screw. It's been this way for 17 years never getting a charge to the rv batteries always having to run my generator for charging.

Get out in the rural parts and people are hard working global warmers, warmed up mostly from working all day and a good cold one at 5.

Wiper ground is on the front of the cowell (above the firewall) to the left of drivers hood hinge, When you lift the hood you can see it right away about 6/8 inches away from the hood bracket hinge. Also got lithium spray and sprayed each wiper linkage pivot point when wipers were running. I used a pair of pliers with the soft handle to hold up the plastic cover while getting the spray tip and flashlight in there. About 5/6 miles down the road and oh man, suddenly wipers took off like truck is new. I hope you find the problem soon. I think everyone in England calls the 'hood' a Bonnet over there , right?

When my rv got paid off the bank let a year go buy without sending my title. Despite several phone calls they just weren't going to send it. My attorney sent a letter explaining how we will file at the court for all costs plus a 1,000 dollars for me if they don't send it within a week. Have to say that got their attention as the title was in my mailbox within a few days. Interestingly the bank president signed it off with a huge scribbled signature all across the page. The attorney I have now is smarter than anyone I've ever known. He is brilliant with his subtle ways. Just an amazing man for justice.

He shoots beer cans out of it. Aims at neighbors.

That is just like the one I bought back in 07. It was showing weakness and had to be adjusted by turning up the pressure regulator a couple three times. Next I noticed it started dropping pressures more easily with less and less hard acceleration. When I bought another second gen I ordered the 150's for both. They seem to be doing better although the regulators are more finicky. My big pre filter is Racor with a drain valve, clear bowl and running the factory filter under the hood.

What year did you buy the Raptor when it was new? Can you give me any advice about both my 2nd gen trucks running the Raptor 150's? They were bought in 2017.

I am very glad you told us about this as I know it will help others to always ask where the rebuilt injection pump comes from before you pay. If they do not want to tell you then they don't need your business and you should not give it to them because you need to know what kind of treatment you are going to be getting if there is a problem. It is very odd that they want to hide who the rebuilder was and even more odd since a reputable Bosch rebuilder would take responsibility for the problem and would sincerely WANT the pump back to know where they went wrong to STOP any further mistakes from being shipped out. They would and should be be glad to pay the shipping and take care of you as priority above anything else on their plate. That's the definition of a real company. I would tell XDP that they misrepresented in their presentation and sale of the rebuilt pump to you, that it is not from an approved Bosch rebuilder (reason why they don't reveal who and why no real guarantee) and therefore is possible the judge would see fraudulent practice. You are eligible to receive punitive damages in a case like this...... covering more than all time loss and expenses etc. I would have my attorney send a letter to them basically saying this and if they do not respond, by sending an amount based on what it cost you, what is fair, that you are going to the courthouse and start a file with the court clerk. You can do that yourself they are very helpful down there to make sure you file correctly. I saved 1300 bucks spending two hrs doing it myself. It was fun too and learned a lot. Sorry for the long post.....

Prescription for turning back the clock; Get in my friends two door 57 Chevy with a pumped out 427, blower, cam, lifters, highrise muncie 4 speed, got the beautiful swirled pattern in the dash. With Buddy Holly, 'Rockin Round the Clock', stomp that sucker off the light right . That will turn back the clock. If a cop stops you it's only to get a look at it up close. That was a cool car and good times. And the chicks knew who to hang around with. Not Dripley type ones. lol

Thank you MoparMan. Excellent information.

@Mopar1973ManIs this another source of potential damage to the ECM, needing protection diodes?
