JDCrow

Screened for unwelcome visitors, some coin floor and a pan. Will grab a coupler and reinstall the drain tomorrow. 

Was able to get sometime off. Working my way out from the back.

Yes, the 1/4 hole was the right hole for the W/D vent. Cut and installed. 

I always chuckle when people ding state parks for not having cell service. To top it off, those chose a park by the highway, then complain about noise. 

The speeds will get higher as ground infrastructure gets on board and the dishes are not locked on one Satellite as they are now. It’s going to be a pretty big deal I feel.

I would like to go use starlink in the RV when it’s available. Does anyone know how to get in line for this once it’s available? 

No such line yet. 

We have Beta here, so it’s all over the place at times. I’ve hit 180mps. It averages 80/90 

I guess when the ground support is up and running it will get better. Some claim as high as 300

We can stream whatever we want. Surfing is easy. Zoom/Skype does run into trouble sometimes, so Currently not the best or business 

We have Starlink currently here at our home base. It’s been announced that they plan on having RV kits available by the end of the year. 
 

Anyone else using them now and/or plan on adding to their coach? 

Interesting read through the posts. It’s hard because having been born, raised, and trying to make a living here in Oregon. I’ve seen the impact first hand. Please remember and don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Loads of Good, common sense people out there, we are just outweighed by the bigger cites. It’s a daily grind for sure. 
 

(sorry, not to say other people are bad, or have no common sense, or not I say I’m the only one, LOL)

Good ole GM late 80’s ignition. It’s on my list as well. 

Cleaning up and remembered I had them change the serp belt. Glad I did 

James is the man. Going to help a bud tackle the back of his 5th wheel that’s delaminated. 

Just got the Dip back. While is was hard to hand the suspension work off, I’m glad I did. Time, time, time. 
 

If you are on the fence or have not done the TRW box, take the leap. 

No more play in the wheel. None, zero, zilch, nada. 
 

I put it though some curves, it held the road very nice. The under steer lean is way more manageable 

Anxious to get it on the freeway, but we don’t have any our town. 

Yeah! Safe travels back to here 

Awesome! Where did you get the material? We are in same boat, need to upgrade

Ok. We have. 2019 Raptor that we are thinking about adding an ADD bumper that has Clevis mounts.  (recovery mounts)
 

I believe it’s blue Ox that has a clevis mount bar used on Jeep’s. 
 

We like the simplicity of the mounts, and get a cool bumper with lights. 
 

I haven’t researched it a bunch as wife isn’t convinced yet to let me tow her truck.

Thanks all, will be exploring your suggestions

There is a filter in the fluid container that might need replacement. My 05 uses WIX 51487 or NAPA 1487. I'm starting to see a pattern in the part numbers.

Thanks, it’s on my todo list when I get it back end of the week

One thing that I need to source is the panel that handles the sensor lights in the dash

It looks light this one was cracked and was glued. Looks bad. Everything works, but it’s not pretty. 
 

Short of a wreak yard, anyone ever replace theirs and got the part from where?

thx

My 05 Ambassador owners manual calls it hydraulic fluid and uses 15w-40 motor oil.

Gary 05 AMB DST

05 was the year that the Ambassador was moved to the 8 air bag platform like the Endeavor's.

Thanks!

I called Weller just to make sure their box will run on the 10w40 and all is good. Going to run what it brung.

Here’s what I got. Zero information on the reservoir 

Definitely Motor Oil 

I’ll be near it here in a bit and will snap a pick.

I’ve checked it several times, it’s not red for sure 

Thanks to both 

Good morn,

In the middle of the TRW swap and I swear I read in the manual 10/40 for fluid but also see in manual Dextron 3 from factory. 
 

I cannot find the fluid chart now that said 10/40. Feel like I’m more crazy now!

Any advice/knowledge would be helpful. Waiting on Torque multiplier to come in tomorrow to get started. 
 

thanks

I just had my floor redone with laminate wood look. The first thing I bought before using the slide were Lippert slide out slickers to protect the flooring. I used four on the Drivers slide out. 

I bought 2 of those before I saw our coach. I’ve only had flat floor slides in the past. Our Dip has raised floor, so these sit in the box.

YouTube is full of videos of people updating their rvs with plank flooring only to see it gouged when the slide dips in at the end of its journey in. The slickers are a good investment . 

X2, very nice
