    Ever since installing a lift pump on my Duramax it runs out at 1/8 of a tank, with no light warning. I learned the hard way :anonymous:

    I got behind this camper yesterday, not a big one as it had a single axle but the tongue weight was awful and it was swerving like crazy. The hitch is obviously to low but not sure why the truck was squatted so bad. Maybe they had everything packed in the front of the camper.

    I couldn't tell if it had South Carolina or Pennsylvania plates but it was close to Virginia in North Carolina :eek:

    I think it was S.C.

    These studs haven’t been out since it was made in 1964 I don’t think. Glad they stopped after breaking the first one.

    Oops, broke an easy out. Thankful to get it out. Luckily it has a lifetime warranty.


    upload_2025-7-11_20-46-53.jpg

    Very thankful to have gotten them all out.

    I’m not a fan of those single axel trailers. They all seem to have a lot of tongue weight with not much storage behind the wheels.
