Long Term Fuel Trim's were extremely high negative and threw a P0172 and P0175 code several times. Those codes are Bank 1 and Bank 2 rich condition. Most people wouldn't know until the codes were thrown. I watch my LTFT #'s as one of the PID's on my Aeroforce gauge so I could see it coming...

Yeah, this was all new to me as well as this is my first flex fuel system. This symptom definitely had me scratching my head, which is why I thought I'd share in case anyone else stumbles across a similar issue. Mike

Also, you may be required to have a license from the city as well. Especially if you plan on having people come and go from your residence. That actually was harder to get than the state license. I had to apply for a conditional use permit with the city in which I lived in. From there I had...

When I got my business license in 1997 I set it up as a sole proprietorship. Mainly because I was young and naive. I thought people were honest and their word was their bond and as long as I did everything honestly I would have no reason to be suspicious of people. I closed my business in...

Yesterday I took some time to investigate an interesting issue that my Jeep had developed over the past week and a half or three tanks of fuel. Immediately after fueling my fuel trims usually go high negative. This is a design trait of many operating systems in order to reset the adaptives as...

I'm not completely sold on a table full of holes for what I do. I know many who have them drilled like swiss cheese and on as small as 2" centers. If that fits your needs then I understand but I worked on a friends table that was on 3" centers and it drove me nuts. We weren't fixturing...

Agreed. It isn't a cheap option which is why I wanted to make sure you realized that you could move it from one vehicle to another. Only thing will be driveshaft length will have to be altered again when removing it. I had a couple of customers that I removed the unit and installed it in...

My vote would be for a Gear Vendors overdrive unit. I used to be a dealer for them back in the late 80's through early 2000's and installed several in motorhomes and tow vehicles for people. It totally transformed my personal coach from one that was limited to around 62 MPH and struggled...

Progress is looking great Greg. You're going to love those PRP seats, I had some in my 120" mid-engine sandrail and loved them. I also went with cloth to keep them tolerable in the heat. Mike

It shouldn't need any more than what it needs to support the vehicle. The platform on each of the jacks actually have a larger footprint than the tires so I would think as long as the concrete will support the vehicle it should support the lifting system. When I built my new shop I had the...

I would love to have one of these systems in my shop for working under the coach. Mike

My son called me yesterday afternoon while I was blowing out my sprinkler system and covering my A/C unit in preparation for winter. I could tell by his voice he was stressed and I’m sure like most of you it’s hard to hear your kids in need and you want to help. His headlights were cutting in...

You will really like having the horizontal bandsaw Greg. Combine that with a vertical bandsaw and you're set for cutting needs. Like Jeremy, I stored my abrasive shop saw about ten years ago when I bought my first horizontal bandsaw and haven't used it since. I had the Jet like yours but the...

You're welcome. It's a much better hood latch system by far. Mike

So one of our friends that we wheeled with last week in Moab jinxed me. As we were airing up on the last day of the trip I also opened my hood in order to blow off some of the dust from the engine bay as I was heading to the car wash immediately after leaving the trail, I hate towing the Jeep...

I used to say the exact same thing about our sand rail. You wouldn't get in it, you'd put it on.:D It was an awesome trip. Thanks. Mike

My wife and I just returned from our annual week long Moab trip with our RV’ing friends from the FMCA 4-Wheelers. Six days straight of Jeeping in Moab, hell yeah. Airing down on day one as we prepared to run 7-Mile Rim, which is one of our favorites. We ran as tailgunner for the group. A...

Personally I'm a fan of good ole' sheet rock, mud and paint. That is what I did in my new shop but in the RV storage bay I did merely use OSB and painted it white. It looks good but not as good as the shop. Even on the OSB when I hung my metal storage rack I located studs and didn't rely...

That was my initial thought when we caught the first smell earlier in the year but then a couple trips later we smelled it again. I'm sure I'll locate it eventually. Mike

My yard is finally getting to the point where I'm happy with it. The back yard had a spot that was difficult to keep green over the triple digit temperatures but this past week has greened up nicely. My front yard is looking like carpet this year but I don't have a current picture of it. I...
