Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
No, no, no!!!!! It is still summer. We will NOT have snow for many months yet. It is way too early to even think of waking up the snow gods. I haven't had enough sun fun yet. Do NOT start the winter...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Got tired of the ugly "bath tub" ring in the two wells below the windshield where the washers come out.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
The last project I did before the summer traveling fun began was to extend the air scoop I made that fastens under the Aluminess bumper to funnel more air to the radiator. The original scoop worked...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Next project was to do something about the swing out galley and the way it rattles and eventually bends the little hinge pins where it hangs on the door. In my way of thinking, there is just too much...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Since I added my awning, I’ve had several occasions where tree branches have gotten caught between the awning and the van roof. I finally added a branch deflector and it works great.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Next project was to add an external transmission filter from dieselsite.com
Easy installation and you can’t have your transmission too clean. Every Ford I’ve had over the past twenty years has...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Crawled under the rig after getting back from putting 8,000 miles on an Alaska trip. Everything looked good, but I noticed a little lateral movement at the front of the rear driveshaft. Also, the...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Well, glad to hear that my drain time is normal. I was going to use the pump and run it thru the sink, but thot that the pump would overheat removing 16 gallons. Guess I need to time it, but at 2...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I added a cup of clorox to my 16 gal. water tank to "clean" it out - just in case. A yearly chore and not a big project, but it took HOURS. I can fill the tank in about 5 minutes, but it takes at...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
I agree that it's super important for the tire to hit the tubes in a couple of places to keep the whole thing from flexing. In my opinion it's also necessary to have full metal to metal contact with...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Yeah, you really want the wheel to be metal to metal with the mounting plate. Must be a different offset to your wheel then mine. I have 315's and no problem. A spacer would be easiest and pretty...

Re: What work did you do on your SMB today?
Yeah, I've chipped several windshields with my own rocks. Not uncommon at all. I've even tossed a rock thru my radiator. That's the main reason I have a billit grill. Radiators and A/C are expensive...

Re: What work did you do on your SMB today?
deminimis, several companies make an additive you can add to your oil to help flush the engine. I've never used 'em, but way back in the dark ages I did flush an old Ford engine with diesel to clean...
