The burst disk going doesn't necessarily mean the tank got overpressurized, it means the burst disk blew. Typically you'd have to stick it in a fire to get it hot enough to blow the burst disk. But if your disk is 4 standard deviations from what it's supposed to be then it can just blow out for pret...

I'm interested. Not sure I can as I'm on-call in June, but might be able to trade with someone.

Maybe I'm being too cautious, but I'd want some kind of cage/protection around that stem. No? People I know who have had issues in vehicles with scuba tanks (which are more like 3000-4000 PSI) have mostly involved the burst disk functioning and blowing out windows etc. (Other than than one involvin...

I slid back a bit negotiating an obstacle on top of the world and came to a very sudden stop. Got a nice ding on the rear diff guard from that.

Looks nice!

It was very cool. Too bad I missed Monday and Tuesday. Thanks everyone.

Wow. I think that’s what a few snatch blocks are made for.

Is he actually pulling it out with a chain? Or is that an optical illusion?

The BLM has a long history of doing illegal stuff and making up reasons to do what they want. The recent set of trials showed that clearly. Along with a willingness to lie under oath.

Ouch. Passenger compartment intact, so it’s probably just a lot of money.

In theory at least, there are extension rails I can mount on my diamondback HD bed cover to carry that sort of ATV on the cover. As I don’t have an ATV it’s probably going to stay theoretical.

Just don’t pull into the garage with it. I know a guy who, on a weekend, pulled into his usual covered reserved spot at work. Unfortunately, being it was the weekend, he had his rather expensive racing bike on his rooftop carrier...

I had a quote from a small local fab shop of $750 for sliders on my Avalanche. This included install. Can't compare them to the ones on my PW because I didn't go forward with them, but they had good reviews. The high end commercial shop in town (which mostly builds custom commercial truck bodies and...

The trick with jeeps where they cut the rockers away and weld in DOM tubing seems pretty effective, but I’m not going there.

The failure mode has to do with long periods of ideling with your foot on the brake. Not exactly sure what the reflash does, but is supposed to keep it from locking the interlock.

Does anyone know if they actually change anything, or do they just confirm it doesn't slip into gear and they are done?

It was an inspection and a reflash of the BCM. I needed an TSB for uconnect done so I got the recall done at the same time.

I just pulled the steel cable off when I got it home and installed a master pull line in its place. That was enough work for me.

In theory, would using hydraulic bump stops help prevent that sort of damage?

Prescott climate is a lot like Albuquerque’s. It get hot in summer, but not furnace-like 115-120 peak like Phoenix and south of Phoenix get. North of that is Chino valley, Paulden etc. Not so convenient to Phoenix but probably less expensive.

I paid to have them installed and think I need to fiddle with them due to the squeaking.

N2 in tires for road going vehicles is snake oil. You can never get all the mixed air out and get close to 100% N2 in the tire. You will always have a mixture in there. The only way to have 100% N2 in the tire. Is to install the tire on the rim in an enclosed air tight chamber filled with N2. Air i...

There are detailed frame drawings on the builder site, which is linked from the bottom of the ram trucks home pages.

Funny you say that! I legitimately believe the dark color is mostly to blame for all my Rambox and fender flare issues. Should’ve bought white. :doh: With my old grey/silver car in Albuquerque the damn thing used to get super hot, like 160 can't touch bare metal. White trucks and cars don't get nea...

nice truck Kevin, would look better with some dirt on it.

Tis true. Right now I'm hoping to get it registered before the Idaho temp plate expires.
