    Got a new faucet in the rear of the camper and set up so she can use her portable dishwasher. Also picked up an inverter that fits my batteries, and some led work lights, so I can have lights inside the container and trailer without hassle of cords They work quite well.

    I can't imagine he's gonna live long. But good luck to him. We are fairly used to them, as wife's dad lived in Clearwater most of her life, and as a kid we vacationed in Florida often. So they don't bother me at all. Is who I recognized him right away also. ( That and I saw the Florida...

    So, last on the list of updates for now. Is I had spotted a nearly identical twin Denali on marketplace that looked really decent. So, I had to inquire as the price wasn't horrible. We did a 401k loan to consolidate some high interest debt, as well as the windows and payoffs were a little...

    It was a bit of a wiggle, and I had cut the front of the lines repairing them , and got them wedged and bent them pulled some more. But I knew I was trashing so didn't care. Everything was covered in oil and such , it took me longest to find the stupid bolt on the front holder, as I could...

    Apparently the clutch was also not great on the fan. But got the rad swapped and found a leak right away. Apparently it got bumped and damaged at some point But also with the block off came out the lines. And those were a pain to get out. But a new rad later...

    honestly to me sounds like it may be tps issues ( very common, also commonly results in reduced power issues)

    Can I flux core mig weld a custom exhaust?

    Flux will also leave spatter all over. But yes if you don't burn through all over it will get the job done.

    And as if to mock me, apparently while fixing the oil cooler lines, it flexed the tank plastic enough, now the radiator is spewing gloriously!! So after much thought, I am going to do a block off for the cooler lines, and delete them, and swap in the radiator from the parted out avalanche...
