Google says 1/2” Grade 70 is good for 11,300. So, if I have 2 that’d be 22,600. My fiver GVWR is 11000. I might see if buddy has 3/8 to cut down on some weight. I’m in Ontario, Canada also.

Big1, what size chain are you using? I got some 1/2” from a buddy that works on cranes, but it seems awfully large.

All I've done was installed a power bar beside my fridge. Plugged the fridge into the power bar. That way I can easily turn the power bar on or off as I want. And I have a few extra outlets too.

I had the exact same problem. As Grumpy mentioned, I suspected a piece of debris in the check valve. I ran the put a couple times to try to flush it out. Haven't had a problem since. That was last...

I also had this problem on my 27bhs. I swapped the straight fittings for 90 degree brass fittings. They seem to be holding better. The constant in and out still loosens the fitting. A quick tighten...

I’ve repaired a leak on a drain in my house with self-amalgamating electrical tape. It seals to itself. I wouldn’t consider it a forever fix though. Good luck.

I know the F250 will pull, I’m just more curious if I can get an F350 in Ontario that has more payload than the F250 without having to get a yellow CVOR sticker and the yearly safeties.

I also had this problem. All I did, for a quick fix, was to cycle the pump on and off a few times. This seemed to free any dirt holding the check valve open and allowed it to seat correctly. Hope...

Only 25.5 more years. Although, I'm sure some things can change in that time. Hopefully, lottery winnings will accelerate that though.

I'm with you on the struggle. My 2013 1500 Sport with 3.92's seems to struggle with our 27bhs. I can't keep any speed going up any hills. I always use tow/haul mode. Might be time to upgrade the TV.
