    First plane ride/snow !

    The thing that amazes me is that this is your first time on an airplane. The snow part is also pretty amazing.

    Bravo 3 Measurement Request

    There is an additional port(secondary port) on the nose of the drive that needs to be blocked off when on muffs. If you don't, you will lose water and possibly suck up air too.

    Wheel Bearing Inspection Interval

    LOL...yeah you can buy something in a box from China and it is likely counterfeit. I am a cyclist and I buy Shimano components which are all made in Japan for the higher end parts. You can also buy them from China...of course the chance of them being counterfeit is almost 100% Saying all of...

    Bravo 3 Measurement Request

    Perfect...thank you very much. I will likely make the strap slightly longer just to be safe.

    Bravo 3 Measurement Request

    In case people are wondering why I need the measurements. I got tired of the duct tape over the water pick up in the nose of the drive. They do sell this thing which is way expensive. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00390636S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I decided to...

    Bravo 3 Measurement Request

    My boat is 8 hours away and I need a measurement made for something I am sewing for my drive. I need the length shown in my photo below. Even better would be a circumference measurement if that is asking too much. Would much appreciate it. Thanks

    Wheel Bearing Inspection Interval

    With bearings, I highly doubt it.

    Wheel Bearing Inspection Interval

    LOL...they are not made in China. Been buying them for both boat trailers and my travel trailer. In fact just bought a complete set for my travel traieler a couple months ago. All made in the USA...

    Front wheel bearings and hubs

    Almost all wheel hub assemblies these days are bolted on. No need for a puller. That includes the OP's truck in this thread.

    est ignition on a 1989 4.3 liter cobra.

    Yep....that 's a good way. How is your lower shift cable? BTW, I would leave the overstroke switch in the loop. You don't want the ignition be interrupted after the shift completes and the overstroke switch prevents that.

    How are you planning on getting the shift interrupter ESA working?

    Trailer surge brakes

    True...my boat weighs 6500# and my travel trailer weighs 6000#. For a lighter boat/trailer, wouldn't be worth the cost. On my travel trailer, it was close to $2400 for the whole thing.

    Trailer surge brakes

    I kinda get why people switch to electric drum brakes but to me, they are still crappy drum brakes. I just took the electric drum brakes off my travel trailers becuase they just don't work well. I was on the freeway coming back from a trip and traffic slowed fast...I was on the brakes hard and I...

    Trailer surge brakes

    I stopped using hard lines years ago. Wherever a hard line rubs against metal(like along your axle)you will eventually get a hole in it. I just use rubber lines.

    Snap On Boat Cover

    When I made my cover for my pontoon, I was careful to make a wrap that goes around the bimini poles. On the last cover I made, I left them off. A little water won't hurt it. If your cockpit is fiberglass and is self bailing, no need to worry about the small amount of water.

    Front wheel bearings and hubs

    Other than OEM, I would get the Timken over the Moog. I did a Moog replacement on my 2018 F-150. That's all I could get my hands on 12 months ago. National backorder for the OEM ones. Rockauto has all of the aftermarket ones pretty much.

    Volvo Penta 7.4 overheats

    Do not put any sealant around that o-ring but make sure all surfaces that it touches are perfectly clean. I put some silicone/PTFE grease on mine when I replace it to hold it in place.

    Volvo Penta 7.4 overheats

    I had a Volvo and a Cobra over a period of over 30 years. That piece never cracked.

    SX outdrive

    Looks clean...surprised it was so hard to separate. Typically, its corrosion around the studs that make these things hard to separate. Super easy if you do it annually.
