    I should also add that the newer dometics can be run on 12v or 120v but not simultaneously. Whatever internal piece that separates the two circuits can be faulty, sending 120v into your 12v system. They discovered this issue when they first rolled out. Their "fix" was to send out a sticker reminding you to not have both plugged in at the same time. So by going back to the older style fridge, it's actually a nice little improvement. As well as the fact that the older style cover actually provides insulation benefits vs the new one just provides protection from the elements.

    What is Wanderer? On the back wall?

    Have you experienced solid motor mounts before?

    If you want to cry, do an Amazon order history report to see what you’ve spent on Amazon this year. $9500 so far for me

    It may not be horrible with this, but I had to pull them out of another vehicle. It was the worst. I'll keep me fingers crossed for you.

    Never do this. It's like adding up what you've dumped into a vehicle. Likely to produce tears.

    This one does have poly bushings in it so technically not a solid mount. Not sure why it’s referred to as that. Either way there’s a lot of LT guys with them and they don’t seem to mind so we shall see.

    That’s why I looked, wanted to see how much I would’ve gotten back with one vs my normal credit card. I’m going to get one.

    My biggest expenses are prime and food, and we have specific cash back cards for both.

    Highly recommend a good cash back card. We usually aquire enough to pay for the Kids Christmas. We average $600-1000 a year. But we put everything we purchase on the card and pay it off month to month. Otherwise the rewards aren't worth it.

    Randall, question for you. Lately when my wife drives the truck she has been commenting on how the brakes aren't as good as they used to be. I had my mechanic do some work earlier in the year for me, because I was too lazy. He did pads, rotors, and calipers because of seized pistons. I am unsure (and doubt) he used OEM calipers. Could off brand calipers make that big of a difference in performance and how the petal feels? I know he bled the system well, cuz I helped him do it when I went to his shop to pick it up.

    It’s possible. I noticed when I went to aftermarket calipers there wasn’t quite as much of a bite. I always attributed it to air in the system somewhere but maybe that’s not the case.

    Try adjusting your rear brakes a little. Doing that can firm up the pedal a bit
