    FRONT HUBS CHATTER? 2H - 4A STOPS THE NOISE?

    Replaced the solenoid (No change) and the check valve - I had to wait for the check valve to arrive - it was the check valve. Inside was a bunch of rusty looking dust that was preventing a good airtight seal. It all works now, no problemo. Thanks ALL!

    Anybody ever remove rearview mirror and bracket off of windshield and repositioned it?

    Found this: https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Rear-View-Mirror I would suggest a hair dryer or heat gun... The glue on these is pretty tough, it is doing a great job sticking to s smooth surface. Heat will be a challenge for most glues and it usually causes it to weaken if not release completely...

    FRONT HUBS CHATTER? 2H - 4A STOPS THE NOISE?

    I have a positive result... the check valve fixed the problem. So fo $90-$100 I have diagnosed and fixed the issue with the vacuum front hubs. So the question now is: where is the rust dust coming from? Is this normal? Can I control the dust somehow or do I just replace the check valve when it...

    Gallon of milk in cargo area!

    Stiffer Suspension

    About the hitch setup: I am looking at the torsion bar CURT etc. There is not enough room for that stuff on my setup because I'm running a 5" drop tow hitch to keep the trailer only slightly high in front, about 2" lower in back. PIC included

    Rear Air suspension issue...

    For now, I am putting some SUMO type things in the rear springs to help out while I figure out what next. Thanks for the info - I don't have a spring compressor, I do have an electric impact driver. Not sure about the breaker bar technique?
