New England B.S. Thread

I see a set of icons in your future then

 

Thanks, opposite end of the state, though!

I'm hesitant to order another 10-pack in case they send me the wrong type again. I did find Leviton makes some nice looking ones for $8/piece with the leads already attached. Might go that route since I was only planning on using two anyway.

 

Check a local RV dealer, that's the type of plugs campers use. I'm actually going to be buying something like that myself for a winter project.

Honestly, I've had the truck for over two years and I've only used it two or three times. I have had a couple of times where I wished I had an outlet in the cab, though. It'd be nicer to be able to charge a drill battery in the truck than to put the charger and the battery in the bed while you're driving.

Good idea. I'm not sure if we have any RV dealers around here...I'll have to look.

I thought the F-150s had the reverse scenario (cab outlets, but no bed outlet).

 

Looks like fun, pick a good line

 

Took a peak under the front end today, definitely some work to be done.

1. The inner boot on the passenger CV is falling off
2. The axle seal on the other side is leaking.
3. Possible the driver's side wheel bearing needs to be replaced.
4. I should probably get new lower LCAs at some point too.

 

Where are you located? There are RV dealers all over the place.
My Ford has no outlets, period. I keep one of those invertors that plug into the cigarette lighter in my center consol in case I really need to run something but generally have not had any need for one. I'm buying some of those plugs to add to the camper in more convenient locations than stock. I want to add an out let with a 12v USB charging port on a shelf that we always keep our electronics on.

Why do you need new LCAs? Are your bushings shot or rust?

 

Last time I went for an alignment, they couldn't be adjusted. Also, the balljoints aren't looking the healthiest either, but I'll have to clean them up to be sure.

 

Western MA, pretty close to the NY line.

I just searched and apparently we do have one. It's on a road I've only driven maybe twice in my life, so that's why I never knew it was there.

There's a second one listed, but when you look on a Google street view it doesn't appear to exist anymore. That one is on a road I drive and I don't remember seeing it, so more than likely it closed at some point.

 

More please

 

good call that might be the best route. only needed it once when the air mattress deflated and the pump was 120v

 

Had a great time, hit some great trails.

Wasn't this bad at the fall crawl.

 

Did you get any pic's! How was the camping?

 

Sooo who wants to help me fix that?

Also my wheel bearing has quite a bit of play in it. I should be alright if I stay local till I get a replacement right?

 

I had a parts list made up for the bushings and hardware if you want it. I'd have to dig it up. The bushings were a PITA to change and the hardware alone is over $100. Keep in mind, if you replace the LCA, there's a good chance you'll have to cut the old hardware off.

 

I expected that. A shop I've recommended to some people here has already done that for them. Last time we tried, we couldn't get the bolts to budge at all.

 

Got some pics and vids. Will post up.

Rob Let me crash in the pop up. It rained all night.

Thanks again @mach1man001
