  1. I like the UP idea, I can do either weekend.
  2. before you do anything take a sample of your coolant have it analyzed, I think it will cost $20, call around farm places like Cat dealership, Deere etc.There are online places like blackstone does it too but bit more expensive
  3. how was the old radiator? scaled up? rust? just cuz vehicle has 50k miles does not mean it was not neglected.
  4. good idea, let know which app you like best, I need a usb to micro usb adapter :-)
  5. Greetings! The previous owner of my 85 sunrader had the heater coil replaced. hmm, the hvac controls are all messed up, you can't change it using the controls, it is stuck in foot and windshield. Can someone pls educate me on how these controls work? Can I buy a replacement and sway it? help...
  6. hmm, well if you android does not have a built in camera, yes, you can use it to stream the vid from the usb cam.
  7. yeah, you can perform you own in home sigmoidoscopy !
  8. I have a $20 6.0 mm usb camera for that, I use it scope my guns too. I used to it find the issue in my washers drain valve http://www.amazon.com/Toontor-Waterproof-Borescope-Inspection-Endoscope/dp/B00Z6BG7MI just connect it to your laptop or pc
  9. I have been looking at wireless backup camera that I can multi use. 1. I like to use it to backup my chevy to hitch up my camper 2. use it as a backup camera in the Toyo campers 3. use it as a target cam while out shooting. I wanted something that works on wifi, that I can connect from ipad or any pda phone. I wanted something that had a battery built in. So getting a cheap pda phone was the solution. [drum roll] So here goes: 1. get a moto e sprint prepaid cellphone for $40 (brand new, from bestbuy), free shipping too. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sprint-prepaid-motorola-moto-e-4g-with-8gb-memory-no-contract-cell-phone-black/2729581.p 2. Don't turn it on, first activate it on https://ringplus.net/ pick the free plan. 3. install IP Webcam from google play store it is a free ap 4. setup a wifi hot spot on the moto e ( we will call this the camera phone) 5. start the ip webcam and start server to stream vid 6. connect from your pda phone/ipad from the driver seat So we end up with a free plan cellphone which actually works and a backup camera I am going to use the suction cup phone holders to mount it to my tail gate or rear window.
  10. that sprinter van has a factory rear a/c, so did my Toyota sienna van, it had a rear a/c. Any idea how these work, is the Freon pumped from the front compressor to the rear coil?
  11. Nasty stuff, sorry can you inspect it from underneath?
  12. help pls, what am I measuring? I called a local small auto repair place and they refused to work on the toyo saying it is too old and they can't use my parts. They said it is not worth time just to make money on the labor if they can't make any money on the parts. :-(
  13. Hey JDE, nope I did not post that, that is the group guys who are into the fall color outing, I saw it last few years, hmm, I will email the guy/gal. That is way on the East side, I think we can hit some perch at the pier during October :-)
  14. Thanks WME, I will get those. I have a pancake compressor, I realized that I don't have a pressure regulator on that compressor. Should I get this regulator? http://www.amazon.com/Bostitch-BTFP72326-Regulator-4-Inch-Thread/dp/B00HXD2V36 or should I look at different brand? I will use around 30 psi to clear the line.
  15. I saw a whole bunch of ford diesels in the camp ground last weekend, they were pulling some monster 5th wheels. who makes the tranny for ford for the diesel?
  16. You want feel the bite of the toll roads, drive from Maryland to NY say long island and back. I think I could flown southwest and it would have been cheaper. With the deer season impending and salmon season going on, I say we table the meet to Spring when the white stuff disappears before Memorial day, so we can get our pick of good camping spots. My camper will be insured till thanks giving, unless the white stuff comes early. I am all for rustic rural spots, you guys pick, I will follow. I can dry camp.
  17. I have no love for Chevy, but the Isuzu 6.6 engine is the kats meoooow plus the transmission (ally) is a bonus. I am a cummins straight 6 fan but not the tranny, The chevy is the quietest of em all. I bought my chevy in 2008 dec, talk about bailout timing. Corporate culture in all 3 of them suck really bad, no work ethic, it is a free for all.
  18. Can I use this to pour RV Antifreeze into water tank? http://www.pepboys.com/product/details/1009611/00719
  19. lot of cold weather starts and short drives will clog a cat.
  20. Bow opener will keep most members busy in MI, You are just west of Bear lake, I am heading there before snow to scout for land to buy, maybe next year we can camp on my land!
  21. Tika, I just reviewed it, personally I can't make it, that location will be nearly 5 hours from me. I do not have enough confidence in my rig to take it around the 80 Chicago corridor, maybe after I do the suspension mods. We will move our proposed date for mid Michigan meet a week so we are not on the same weekend. I am not well versed in the camping locations in Illinois, most of us have concealed carry lic try to avoid your state, no offense. Maybe South Bend IN for the Great Lakes toyo meet, near the RV capital of the world. Maybe we can even get corporate sponsors :-). Totem/JDE, I am open to any location that convenient for the attendees, we should keep it 2 to 2.5 hours of drive so it is 200 miles most. Another member here is in South Bend, I will give him a call and see if he is free any weeks in October. I love rural locations, don't mind dry camping. if you guys want to do some Salmon fishing we could do Benzie county in future years (gotta book early). Please suggest locations.
  22. Good info, thanks, these guys are near you for cleaning and testing, do ya mind sending the old injectors to them for testing :-) http://cruzinperformance.com/
  23. a free flowing cat is a popular mod with Honda/Toyota folks, what did ya do with the old cats? they are worth a bit in scrap value from what I read.
