My ARB refrigerator states that it draws "up to" 2.3ah, but averages 1.7ah. My propex furnace states 1.7ah, the 3.5gpm sureflow pump can draw up to 5ah depending on flow. Then there are the lights. I have a florescent fixture with two tiny bulbs each about a foot long. Thats it. Really...

Hello folks, was hoping for some "cut to the chase" advice here. I have a 2012 Hawk that I've been living with two AGM batteries from Cabella's until now. The batteries are shot and the first place I notice it is in my refrigerator, the last place you want issues with. So I'm starting over...

Don't know about cab height but it fits like a glove on this truck. 2" above the cab and 1.5 above bedrails. Jacks are going as far as South Dakota with me... Long story.

Well finally I got the camper on my new beast. The rear end of the new Super Duty Super Cab 6.7 diesel sit's 1" higher than the front, with the camper on it sit's 1.25" lower, or sags about 2.25", which is less than my prior Dodge 2500 CTD. I have ordered a Proryde block set for the rear...

No idea yet, I've used only about 1/8 tank around town without the camper on. I won't know until I start using it, probably do a report in early May when I head to S. Dakota. Then in June if all goes well we're off to Alaska. Then I'll be able to do a detailed report of this vehicle, including...

What kind of mileage are you getting? No idea yet, I've used only about 1/8 tank around town without the camper on. I won't know until I start using it, probably do a report in early May when I head to S. Dakota. Then in June if all goes well we're off to Alaska. Then I'll be able to do a...

No pic's till tomorrow, it's still at the dealer getting it's final prep. But my honey and me took it for a nice long test drive, then took the Dodge out for the same ride. Fortunately it was a wildly windy day here in Wisconsin which accentuated the near unbearable cabin noise for my wife and...

Pictures or it didn't happen! :P Yeah I'm in the same boat as you liking the extra room in the quad cab w/o being a monsterous crew cab/mega cab. The other manufacturers need to take not and add a little more to their super cab designs. No pic's till tomorrow, it's still at the dealer...

Well, I did it! Proud owner of a new 2012 Ford F-250 6.7 Super Cab. Looking forward to getting to know and understand it's qualities. I can say that the super cab is tight in the back, but the crew was monstrous. The Dodge Ram I had was absolutely perfect size, four doors and perfect room...

Did you ever get feedback on what happened with the trans? That truck has a computer display with trans temp available right? Do you keep an eye on that when going up grades and such? Just wondering if you had a heat issue or failure of a bearing/oring or such. The impression I got after...

No idea on what pans out with a Hawk on but a couple points on the ecoboost. It does have a rather flat torque curve. 5mpg is quite a hit in general, though maybe with these ultra efficient numbers these engines are more sensitive, I know my hemi doesn't drop off 5mpg but it also doesn't get...

Check out this report http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5396/page__view__findpost__p__60247 and maybe shoot 2wiresDave and email (it looks like he might have sold off his FWC but you can ask his impressions while he had it). I sent 2wires a private message to get the skinny...

I guess what I'd like to know is if there is anyone out there with the newer 2011+ 5.0 or eccoboost with a FWC or ATC like a Hawk that can give me "real world" data and feedback about the new HD 1/2 ton's. As mentioned, I can purchase a brand new 3/4 ton 2012 extended cab 6.5' box Ford with the...

Thin Air, If I was looking to buy a truck in the $33K range, I'd hold off just a bit longer to see what 1/2T diesels are coming. If you start calculating the huge amounts you pay the oil companies it is sickening. Diesel will pay for itself at current prices and gas is going nowhere but up...

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for everyone's input, great to hear from those with the model I'd consider. I've test drove all three contenders, the new F-150 Ecoboost, the 5.0 and the F250 with 6.7 diesel as well as the 6.2 gas, and they are all nice upgrades to my current Dodge Ram 2500...

ThinAir, I have the four door cab with the 6'6" bed. I feel that the load with camper is very evenly distributed and have no issues with insufficient weight on the front with regard to steering (or lack thereof). Like I said, the ride on the road is very comfortable and getting off road has...

Hey Thinair, You won't find many people on this site that will think you are making a good choice, but I have to tell you I have an F-150 and have been totally satisfied. The only alterations I havemade are E rated tires and I installed air bags myself....no issues no complaints. Mine is an 08...

The newer 1/2T's, esp. the ford are getting quite beefed up. Basically they're often packaging them at the levels of the older 3/4T. So if you're in the brand spank'n new market then you'll definitely get more out of a 1/2T by a long shot. The new 5.0 ford is supposed to be a really nice...

In my quest for the proper tool for the job I've been down some roads many others have gone down or will plan to go down, now I'm considering yet another move. Bought a Nissan Frontier and put a Finch on it. Severely overloaded, truck swayed back and forth, front end was unweighted, dangerous...

Gene, if you're front springs were like mine, and I'd imagine they are or worse given what you've put your truck through, you're getting just 2" or less of shock stroke before you are hitting the stops. I'm no engineer but cycling a shock over just 2" thousands of times over in a short period...

Springs up front are in!! Added the Thuren trackbar and his "comfort" sway bar links. I have no airbags, no rear sway bar, just the extra spring in back and the 2" Thuren coils up front with some Bilsteins. The ride is much mo better up front and not bottoming into the bumstops nearly as...

Sorry i've not gotten back to the post since the original message but I've been out and about in Montana for quite some time. In the mean time I've added a custom spring into my existing spring pac through a local spring shop that specializes in this sort of thing. I had a few choices which...

I've discussed my upgraded to the front end of my 07 5.9 CTD short box crew in another post here but just wanted to let folks know my experience with the Ram 2500 since there seems to be much discussion about whether to get a 1500 or a 2500 truck. Not taking into consideration brakes of course...

I've purchased a modified shell unit with a dinette and setee, I'll be adding my own gallery that will include a sink with a shurflo pump and faucet. I'm shopping sinks and would like to know if there is any benefit of going with the smaller (and harder to find) 2" drain vs the std household 3"...
