I just threw in a couple of slime brand pre-gooped tubes. I think I ran through a bunch of goat heads in the first mile I put on my bike.

Speaking of tunes, 5star has an 87 octane tune for the ecoboost that nets about 30HP, 80 lb-ft of torque, and firms up the shifting. Not sure what the 93 octane tune yields.

Slight drop in mpg after correcting computer readout for the size difference, no noticeable difference in power. On my bike trip to the Wedge a couple weeks ago a got 19.5 mpg. Far more noticeable difference with the change to 10 ply tires.

Oops, my bad, the new engine is in the 2017, and I forgot about the 10-speed tranny

The '15s dropped 700lb by going to an aluminum bed so the tow ratings went up. Engine is the same. Engine tq/hp gets a bump for '18. For your use I'd search for two things 1: HD towing package which should get you 3.73 gears vs 3.55 (mine has 3.55 but with 33" vs 32" stock tire so equivalent...

Best thing about the Ecoboost (365hp 420 tq: 2013) is the torque curve. (Hint: it's the one that looks like a billiards table). For daily driving, that means I rarely get above 3k rpm. Unloaded, pulls soldier summit @1600 rpm. For towing, compare the difference in HP @2500 rpm -vs- the two...

Jayco 26' RKS. 80 gal fresh water capacity. Truck bed is 5.5'. My weight was a guesstimate based on as-shipped dry weight (yellow tag) water and junk in the trailer, genny and junk in the truck bed. The most accurate way to get the real weight is to go across Cat scales at a truck stop...

I went to Michelin E-rated tires and Airbags. Had I not sold the trailer I was going to add a helwig rear sway bar as well. Here is a trip we took with that load https://www.rme4x4.com/showthread.php?104761-Bataan-Death-Drive-(not-a-wheeling-trip)&highlight=bataan

Mine has 3.55 rear and is rated to tow 9600# before I went with 33" BFG MS2's (one inch over the stock 32's). With my camper, 80 gal water, genny, and stuff, was about 8200#. My Eco pulled it up Daniels summit from Heber, cruise on, at the posted limit (65), at 2700 rpm. In the last 1/4 mile...

Thanks for the update, my only experience was talking with someone at a home show and that was how they worked it.

Actually, the panels put out DC and you need an inverter to make AC. With a grid connected system, the inverter syncs to the power line frequency and the excess current is pumped to the grid. With an off-grid system, you need local storage in the form of deep cycle batteries. If you have...

Bike rack progress. Two wheel baskets welded to the 2" horizontal spar. Wheels are friction fit on my bike with 2.1" tires. All that's needed to secure the bike is to lash each tire to the spar with a bungee. The only part of the bike that touches the rack is the rubber tires. The main...

How about a lift mechanism from a pop-up camper

First up was the repair stand that I bought from Sixstringsteve that he had bolted to a z-shaped mount to fit into a hitch receiver. I have a receiver on my workbench that I use for my vise so I started there. I soon got tired of the wobble and wanted it taller so I turned it into an L shape...

really tricky SOB to cut though...

Introducing FrieedLock ... Wedges the receiver insert at opposing corners and stops wobbles in all directions. Hand tight and I can shake my truck. Yah, it's probably not new, but it works.

Phase one complete, repair stand is now adjustable height. I'm considering some sort of stabilizing bolt since it wobbles in the hitch receiver. Need to get more tube tomorrow to make the 2-bike hitch rack.

Is this the same engine destined for the JKU this fall?
