    Looking for opinions on a tech disagreement.

    I don't pull. Did tractors once upon a time. Rules is rules. You are right, he on the other hand is about 90% illegal or he woulda said go ahead. Take a deep breath and remember, As you slide down the banister of life, there are splinters like him.

    Service trailer brake?

    The correct police are at it. Gosh, my boat trailer, Livestock trailer and junk trailer don't have electric brakes, don't require inspection and don't ground thru the trailer wiring. Two are Farm use and the boat trailer has hydraulic surge brakes. As for trailers with 7 pin they ground through...

I love having the heated mirror but it needs the timer on it or you end up leaving it on. Been there done that. My Peterbilt has a thermostat that...

    Towing trailer/weight distrubution

    I hauled a Ford van to NY from Va and in the first 8 miles nearly rolled it Fortunately My Guardian Angels were working and I knew from 3 million miles of Tractor trailer not to slam on the brakes but it scared me. Will never haul another van. Too top heavy.

    Service trailer brake?

    Try the grounding between the ball and the trailer. Mine , if I get too much grease, won't ground to the truck and it goes haywire. Sometimes my marker lights blink on and off. We have 5 trailers so it's a constant headache, boat, trash, livestock, flat and TT. Right now it blows fuses to the...

    LML Poor fuel mileage when towing

    My 06 gets 9.7 towing at 67 MPH from Va to Ok with 19,000 lb GVW. I don't worry about trucks swerving, almost 3/4 of the trucks in the US are geared at 63 MPH.

    Northern VA
