    Dump trailer questions

    My dad and nephew love auctions. They ended up winning a 2005 Bri-Mar 12K dump trailer, which my understanding is the Bri-Mar is now owned by BWise Trailer Company. The trailer has been really used, but hydraulics look like they have been replace, pump is in good condition, and battery is a...

    Ford Pro Trailer Assist

    I was wondering if anyone had used that on their trailer? It is a feature that came with the new truck. I was backing up to trailer doing the whole look from mirror to mirror and watching the rear camera when the wife asked why I wasn't using the trailer thingy. I decided to give it a try and...

    Question about towing

    We just purchased a F250 on Friday. My old hitches from my SUV are to small for the new truck and not rated high enough. I have the gooseneck trailer hitch kit for it, but I don't have any bumper pull hitches. As I was looking, there sure are a lot of different ones out there and was wondering...

    Gasoline Particulate Filters

    Just seen the video below and was surprised that the are filters for gasoline particulate filters. I wonder if GPF have the same issues as the DPF? Didn't realize that the GPF are common requirements throughout Europe.

    Sounds of rain, but no rain

    Saturday we were out at the farm and we had been working all day and was getting stuff put away. We were in the old barn and it sounded like raindrops were hitting the roof, which really surprised us because it was sunny out. Nephews and I walked outside and no rain. Walked back into the barn...

    L3560 HSTC rear wiper

    I thought I read or watched a video where all the wiring for such things as rear wiper is already pre-ran in the cab of the L60 series. I'm thinking about adding a rear wiper, but just wanted to see if I was remembering correctly or if I dreamed it all.

    Ford wants to allow your car to lock you out — and even drive itself to an impound lot or scrapyard — if you miss payments

    I read the article below about this technology. I understand that Ford is wanting to 'help' with people avoiding payment and the collection process. Yet, Ford should focus on making reliable vehicles and not how to screw over their customers. I could see Ford getting sued multiple ways on this...

    That is one mean cock.... A doodle... do

    I never thought a cock could kill someone like that. Over the years we have had some mean ones, they didn't last long. If the bird was stupid enough to chase after grandma a second time, it went onto the dinner plate...

    Sounds like an equipment related accident

    Most news channels aren't releasing much info, so take TMZ article with a grain of salt. Yet, if they are correct, it sounds like Jeremy Renner was runover by his snowcat machine. I'm not familiar with them, so I don't know what safety features they have or even how the operate. Lots of...
