DId you ever show us a picture of your trailer?

Who can remember having to fold a match book cover and cram it in the player beside or under or over the 8 track "just right"!

"Our normal baby sitter was sick one night that we needed her, she apologized and asked if we would mind if her older sister could watch our kids instead..."

Someone told me what Swift stands for.... See What Ican Fu*kup Today

Anybody have any pictures of this truck? Also, can someone take an accurate guess at the dimension of the dump bed?

Have been going to get my wife and son to video in "chase" mode from different angles...unforturnatly, only six of the eight rear tires match, two are a different brand, BUT. the problem was happening before the new tires, not to say I didnt "swap" the same problem between the old and new tires...

You are right of course, my reasoning was that if the power divider was jumping in and out at a certain speed, and my tires were average different diameters front to rear, this might be the cause of the bounce as the frame is loaded and unloaded rapidly...it was just a test, as I am sutck unless I starts chainging BIG parts! I was thinking of having it towed with the front end up to eliminate or confirm that the front end is causing the issue...lots of wasted money on that though!

Yes...on the rear...

I had the rear brakes locked...that's how I got it to move...had I released the brakes, I would have went nowhere! I figured if I moved it with the rear driveshaft not turning, all of the torque would route to the front and the peanuts would not be trying to dig in and engage, which may have been causeing the truck to bounce...that was my theory anyhow!

Desperate to figure out what is making my truck bounce...I came up with an idea to check the rear rears to see if they were causing it, also, this would check to see if the "peanuts" were the root cause. My plan was to chain the rear rear up off of the ground and go for a drive... Okay, I thought, this idea is dumb, but is it just a dumb idea, is it an idea that will get me hurt, or is it an idea that will break something major...anyhow, I decided is was just a dumb idea so I tried it... Got the rear rear jacked up and chained it up so that the rear tires were off the ground by a few inches. I knew they would drag where my driveway meets the street, but I figured I would release the parking brake and let it roll into the street...so far so good...I got about 1 mile from the house, not yet having a chance to get to "bounce speed" when the chains shifted, stretched, whatever the case, the rear tires dropped down and partially contacted the road and the front rear or transmission started growling and shaking...got it stopped pretty quick...I was on a slight hill, and the tires were not up high enough to slip on the road with the park brake on, and not getting enough traction to move the move truck with the brake off....couldnt even set the parking brake as the truck kept rolling (slipping the rear tires)...to make a long story short, I got it chocked and because I was smart enough to bring the hydraulic jacks just in case, I got the rear end back on the ground...then drove around a while to make sure no strange noises...so back at square one...

What size wheels? Do you have some pictures? How long is the frame towards the front?

I will wade in a muddy river but I wont drink from it!!!

Forgot to mention to take the cable off of the battery!!! A simple 12 volt test lamp will work also, either negative battery terminal to frame or positive battery terminal to frame will make the light light up!

Thanks all for the info! Leslie

Thanks Doug!

Is there a place close by to park a small RV? WHat about Hotels? I have only been once, and I remember parking across the main highway and walking to the park...dont know if I could park a pickup and RV in the parking lot or what? Also, may stay in a hotel...one day is just not enough!

I was focused in on her legs and upper thighs! (and the miss clairol doo)

I think the flagger girl!!! Yummmmmm!!!

In the past I have used an old refrigerator! Just need a light bulb burning all the time to keep moisture at bay...even one of those little dorm room refers works well...but knowing the man with ALL required top of the line tools, you probably are looking for a professional model super duper rod oven like these...

Sure fire way is to take a meter and measure ohms from either cable to a bare sport on the frame...one will have almost no resistance, the is the "ground" whether positve or negative...

Yum!

That pegged my WTF meter!

Tell me bout it!

Small ones are nice too!
