Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got my "new" horse trailer home today. I had to borrow some wheels from my buddy to move it so it has no wheels at the moment again. So getting some wheels is on the top of the to do list.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finally fixed my camper trailer brakes I had replaced all 4 backing plates and rotors . New bearings and seals . But the brakes still weren’t working well they would slow the truck but not aggressively even set at the highest setting and manually activating the system . I had checked that there was power at the brakes when applied and the controller showed it was connected . So I had my grandson activate the brakes manually and I checked the voltage which I should have done from the start. At the highest gain I was getting a little over 8 volts at the brake . Checked the voltage at the truck plug and it was a little higher but not much . And right out of the controller I had 8.44 . The Tekonsha P2 in the truck is the older model and 13 years old . So I took the new the new P3 out of the 72 and I got 11.4 bolts at the trailer brake at full gain . I reset it to the normal setting and wow it brakes like new .
Not really sure why the controller would give low voltage it should work or not it’s completely electronic . The shoes have a little surface rust on them been sitting on the shelf in my garage for 27 or so years ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well I finished up my log-lifter for my 3 point hitch. It turned out well. A coat of paint and it will look factory. I just hope it works.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Replacement for the dually I guess? I know nothing about late model Jeeps but it should be way easier on the pocket to operate and still haul things.

Sure. But I prospect for old steel. ![]() I have a friend that is big time into prospecting for gold and he's made some money doing it. Not a fortune but not bad. We have a little swap meet here on weekends and there's a guy selling prospecting equipment. Those conveyer belt things and stuff like that. I don't know what they're called. They've been there for a while. I may just have to hit him up on a price. Who knows. I might get enough gold to make myself a new tooth. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Good guess. The dually is just to big for my needs.
Hey Boog. Wanna buy a dually?? I'll throw in a free horse trailer! I can even take the Ford emblems off it and replace them with bowties. You'll never know the difference. ![]()
