    I get that. On the 30 amp Flosser the spade that is 87a in your illustration is also powered when the relay is activated.

    that is weird that could cause problems if someone used one in the place of a standard 5 pin relay. as far as i know that diagram was the industry standard for all 5 pin relays

  3. if there is a actual jury trial i don't think you will ever get a conviction . besides they been going after him for the last 8 yrs and the cant make anything stick. all the news and media coverage just makes it look like they are after him which they are but it also makes him look like the underdog and just keep making him stronger tons of free press

    Where I am in CA tax is 1% BUT they assess "full value" and reassess yearly.

    My place in Havasu had a very low dwelling and land assessment so the .85% I paid was on a lower, more "honest" base

    Sales tax in Havasu is higher than most of AZ at I think 7.6%  some places in CA its cheaper than that of course in CA where I am  (LA county) its 10.25%

    IMO that all matters

     

    new jersey is 2% reassessed every few years only if values are going up

    You only get one brain in life, protect it. 
    I don’t agree with your excuses, but it’s your life, your brain, do what you want. 
    Once I got used to wearing it, I would never not wear one. 

    one thing i will never forget about 20 yrs ago i was on a volunteer fire dept went on a call and it was a head on collision. it was a girl from my high school she was technically decapitated she was reaching for something we think and went into on coming traffic at about 35 0r 40 mph. the force of the impact caused her head to break her neck on impact her neck was about a foot long. if she wasn't wearing a seat belt she may of been ejected and possibly of lived but probably not this was before air bags were in most cars. i could definitely see where wearing a helmet could cause severe neck injury from the weight of the helmet but also could save you from a scull injury on a bar. i only buy the best and lightest helmets and its has paid off my son races mx hit a kicker off a jump landed on his head and the bike landed on his back breaking the rear sub frame.bell moto 10 carbon cracked the helmet no neck injury but 3 burst fractured vertebrae and 3 broken ribs im sure if he had a cheap helmet he would of had severe neck injury. the moto 10 spherical basically has a helmet in a helmet and lets the shell rotate around your head to lessen the forces from a impact. but that is on a bike where you are impacting something like the ground with your body. and in a buggy with good belts you should not be able to impact anything with your body and a helmet would not be of any help and may cause neck injury without a hauns device.  just my opinion

    GVWR for truck = the total weight vehicle is designed to carry on it (vehicle weight + passengers, cargo, and tongue/pin weight of trailer)

     

    GVWR for trailer= total weight the trailer and its frame are rated for

     

    GCWR for truck = total amount vehicle is rated for rolling down the road while towing

     

    payload= weight vehicle is rated to handle in the bed of the truck (cargo and pin/hitch weight)

     

    looks like all your numbers are good and you will have room to spare. I always take a truck empty to the scales when i purchase a new one so I know exactly what I’ve got when trailer is connected. I re weigh with trailer fully loaded down so I know what my gross combined weight/pin weight/ and cargo/passenger weight is. That way I know I’m good. Tire rating on trailer and truck are extremely important as well. Rear axle rating is pretty high in the new trucks and you would exceed your GVWR before getting close to your rear axle rating. I’m kind of a freak about weights to if you have any other questions, I’d be more than happy to help. 

     

    if that sticker is on your truck i believe the gvwr of 11500 is the truck rating cargo tongue weight the total weight of truck 

    GCWR of 27500 is the gross combination truck and trailer 

    i would just put it on a scale once and check the axel weights don't exceed the rating on the tires there are weight ratings on the tires at the tire manufactures inflation pressure.  so if the tires say 3250 per tire x2 7000 per axel if your over on the rear axel you can add a weight distribution hitch which will move some of the weight off the rear tires and put it on the front axel and trailer. either way the truck has a max tow rating of 18500 and your only towing 13500 so your way safe run it

    And FWIW, mine does too, but...  boost, EGTs and mileage have not changed in years, so I'm gonna let it eat until it throws the turbine down the down pipe.  (260,000 miles).

    not a great idea if the cold wheel come off and it starts pumping hot oil into your intake it could run away seen it happen on some big equipment

    I agree with everyone else. Wait a month or so if you can. 
    However, Glamis is a “dry heat” so since you’re from Georgia, 115* may only feel like 90* to you. 

    im from the east coast plenty of 95 plus days here with 90 plus humidity not really that bad. 115 out there still feel like i'm standing in front of a hair dryer my skin need the humidity. i would rather sweat and know im hot then dry out like a lizard

  9. being its your first time i would push it off till october at least there might be some other people out there. also if your not familiar with transfering from bowl to bowl its nice to follow someone else line even people that go all the time don't lead after a wind reset or in the summer when the sand is super soft. also  don't be surprised if you have a 115 degree day in sept and there is nowhere to get in the shade you air conditioner better work. if your trailer is not insulated with air conditioner dont even try   also the beach store will be the only place open in sept in the dunes i don't think any of the venders get there until the second week of october. yuma and brawley are within 45 minutes drive yuma is a bigger town but brawley is closer especially if your camping off gecko rd and the gecko side is close to the canal.   

     

     

    What are you planning on riding ???

  10. i have done them but i cheat. just loosen the bolt that hold the drum to the shaft wind the new cable on and connect to the door.   then put a block under the door on the side that getting the new cable and have someone stand on the other side of the door and you tighten the drum bolts. you just need to find out the length of the old one and get one that is close with in a few inches.

     

    i had to take one cable off every time to load the car when you would have someone step on the gate with the block on the other side it would give you a little slack to put it together. the right way is a pain

  11. if you leave any grease gun for a long time the grease seem to get around the plunger and spring. the grease guns i leave in the toy trailer i leave them with the rod pulled out and locked withoul pressure on the grease. lock and lube does make a great gun and coupler
