A lot of speculation on Jack but never positively identified.

LOL, guys!!!! I don't need to be drawing that kind of attention to myself!!!! Although this trailer hitch novelty is pretty cool! Thing is, I don't have a trailer hitch on my pick up truck!!!!

Where in the hell did you find that ?
Just mite consider it if they aren't to outrageously priced, of course it would almost have to have one in front as well.

Doug, I saw it here:

It looks like they're sold out at $39.95, but you may be able to do a Google search.

Jon,

You CAN cut the Scenic Express walls with a table saw.Not even any ragged edges.

[2railjon]

The styrofoam didn't melt? Or are your walls made of a different material?

[rogruth]

It's that hard foam.Cut without any problem.

Mitch, a friend of mine has a 1998 Dodge truck with a 5.9 liter engine. The vehicle has only 63,000 miles, but the engine is continually fouling the number 7 and 8 plugs. They are telling him he needs a new engine (5,300.00). The truck was driven very gently at a college until my friend bought it. He's loaded it to capacity, etc. in his landscaping business. Any thoughts?

Should've stated that the plugs are oil soaked.

Tramp, your friend DOES NOT need a new engine. The most likely cause is a blown out lower plenum gasket. Here's how you can easily determine if the lower gasket is gone. Pull the PCV valve out of the valve cover, and remove the breather hose from the aircleaner and have someone start the engine. Hold the thumb of one hand over the breather hose, blocking any air from getting inside the engine. Hold the thumb of your other hand over the PCV valve, (it will suck your thumb in), and with a finger of the same hand, stick your finger into the valve cover opening where the PCV should be. If it pulls the slightest amount of vacuum on your finger, the lower gasket is gone. All mid to late '90s 3.9, 5.2, and 5.9L engines were notorious for this problem. The lower plenum gasket was originally a pressed paper style, the replacement gasket is a paper layered steel shim.

The worst case scenario is for #6 & 8 on the right bank to suck oil and foul the plugs. Usually the complaint is oil consumption without smoke, and pinging under moderate throttle or light load.

The factory time was about 2.2hours to pull the intake manifold and fix it. You can hit the 2.2hrs after you've done about a dozen of them. Any questions, you know where I'm at.

I "HAD" a pair of them, one for each end (The Comanche known as Little Ugly has recievers in both bumpers, see my avitar) BUT, some ****** decided he liked the rear one more than I did!

Needless to say, I don't keep 'em in anymore. There's another reason I don't keep hitches in the recievers, that being RUST!!!

On my wife's Cherokee, the insert was so galled in place, it took a full bottle of acetylene to heat the hitch enough to get that SOB out! (Yes, that was an expensive trip to the welder's shop, and I took the hitch off before I took it. Sucker was too close to the fuel tank for that kind of heat)

Plus, I hate banging my shins off those fawkin inserts![/i]

"A new engine" seems premature.
But then you know mechanics and problems with prematur... uh...never mind.

You're a funny man, Dirt!

When I was much younger, I could do it all night. Now it takes all night to do it. Uh, that is, when I get lucky. I can't remember the last, uh, nevermind.

Man. I'm thinking hard about pulling the trigger on this all black skyline cased mountain that Gary from 3rd Rail is teasing me with. Anyone else think it's gorgeous?

[rogruth]

Of course.
