What did you do to your Tow Vehicle today?

[Bookemdanno]

New fuel filters at 13,166 miles. Pic shows the comparison with the new and factory original. Then I gave her a bath...now time for beer!

Your old filter doesn’t look too bad Dan! Need to give mine a bath too. When can I bring it over? [emoji23]

Installed a Mag Hytec transmission oil pan today. Holds an additional 7.5 quarts of fluid. It also included a 1/8 NPT port for a new transmission temp gauge I added.

Sharp truck!

Finally got around to washing it along with the DW's CR-V. Long overdue for sure. Also cleaned out the inside and vacuumed in preparation for the upcoming trip to southern Utah.

Had new brake pads, new rotors and new master cylinder installed. 2001 F-150 with 125K miles. It's had Pads and rotors turned a couple times in it's lifetime but this time I thought it would be a good time to go all out. I've noticed the brake pedal having a little more free movement lately and it seemed to be creeping further down sitting at stop lights. Stops like a new one now! I feel much better pulling the 23MDS that puts me near my GCWR.

Camped for a week on shore of Lake Superior under some big old White Pines. Spent some time today getting pine sap off hood of truck. Used a cleaner my wife had so came off better than I expected and left truck finish just fine.

Not to my tow vehicle but my old 2000 Toyota Camry. Its a cream puff car that was my mother’s. I used to drive it as a daily driver to not put so many miles on my truck. Year and a half ago, it was sputtering really bad and almost dying at any stop light. I scanned for codes and got a misfire on cylinder 1 code and bad coil. So I replaced the coil and the fuel injector. No change. I parked it in the garage and kinda forgot about it. Finally decided I need to fix it or get rid of it. So I replaced all the plugs. No change. Scanned again and it showed cylinder 3 coil or misfire. Replaced the coil. No change! So I decided to replace the plug wires and all the injectors. If that didn’t do it, it was going on CL for sale. Replaced the wires and now it runs great! Should’ve saved the money and headache by replacing the wires first!

Replaced the fuel filter on my 04 Duramax.. on the long weekend. Wouldn't you know it the o-ring on the fuel bleeder screw gave up the ghost and of course being a long weekend could not get a replacement.. So Tuesday went to the dealer as none of the after market had it.. $27.00.. had to buy it as part of a system in other words it came with the plastic screw as well … Not a real lot of money but its the principle that ticks me off.

Changed the oil. Motorcraft filter and synthetic 5w-40

[Midnightmoon]

Replaced the HVAC fan resistor and disassembled, lubed, and replaced the tailgate latches on my '07 Ram. Having more than one fan speed and a tailgate that actually stays closed are 2 nice options.

Had the tires rotated and balanced. Put some fuel in it and gave it a little cleaning.

In the last week or so...Rotated tires, touched up the under carriage with Fluid Film, washed it and installed navigation in the stock 8.4" touchscreen.

[Dascro]

Added Timbrens on the rear of my truck.

[Tree Catcher]

Had the transmission fluid replaced, rebuilt my transfer case and replaced the cv joint on the front drive shaft on my 2007 Jeep liberty CRD... Lots of camping trips planned in the near future and still planning on more next year.. Ohh where to go.. Gotta love my little Jeep, in normal driving mode 31 mpgs, towing a Jayco x17z loaded, were down to 11-18 mpgs depending on hills or flat ground. After having this little diesel for a tractor, my next truck will be a diesel. my little jeep pulls no problem up grades, just put it in 3rd and it will climb a tree.

A couple weeks ago I purchased a new to me tow vehicle, an 01 Dodge Durango. Last week I could wait no more and adjusted my hitch height on the Andersen hitch and hooked up to my trailer. I checked all the lights for proper operation. I did not yet have the brake controller installed. I had to take it out to see how it tows. The Dodge tows it like there is nothing back there. I only took it on side streets in my neighborhood. Today, the brake controller got installed. This afternoon, we're going to hitch up and verify the brakes are properly working and the controller is adjusted correctly. Then I'm gonna tow it up a hill about 10 miles out of town to see how it does.

[Bandit12]

Update: Brake control adjusted and working properly. The Dodge did fine. Around town on side streets, I hardly know its back there. On the surface streets, I know. However, pulling up Lee Summit just outside of my home town, going uphill about 1,000 feet it did fine. I was able to maintain 50-55 mph with no issues whereas my old Jeep would struggle to maintain 35-40. Gas mileage is gonna suck, but I knew that going into this vehicle.
