how do i check that? or is that something i need to bring it in for?
aside from the major parts, the only thing i didn't replace was the bushing in the sliding half that sits on the splined shaft.
bear with me here...
so i've been having some clutch problems lately. first trip to the mountains ended after the first day b/c my primary went kaboom. i had just put new rollers and bushings in before the trip.(yes i used new cotter pins) the sled ran great for the first half the day, and...
hmmm, well what ever the case, this had better be cleared up. i'm headed there tomorrow with a group. but i wasn't worried, i hate hot tubs anyways, and 40 of vodka will cure anything- except a hangover.:o
thanks teeroy, i'm going to get some more things ironed out here. so much more crap to worry about than i anticipated starting out. never even thought of the difference it would make to sledding trips having my truck commercialy registered.:rolleyes:
i'm contemplating strapping a set of snowshoes to the back of my sled for those real deep days when you can't move around trying to get un stuck or walk to your buddy who's stuck.
and i'm talking nice compact aluminum ones that have snow board bindings on them, not the big wood and hide version...
interesting, i was under the understanding i only had to pull in the scales if it weighed over 4500kg, i am right around that usually, unless i take some extra material. and for the most part i'm never more than 160km from home, only the fox creek trips are more.
nope not that i'm aware of, i thought that came into play when you're registered over 11750kg or something like that- or maybe that could have been the cvip
lol i'm in vega, just making some refrence to the road sign out side of vega that some cleverly added an s to the end of a few years ago,
no i do my work in alberta, i just have a few trips planned to bc in the next while for sledding and don't want to spend time getting educated the costly way.
so correct me if i'm wrong- i'm somewhat new to this commercial registration, my 3/4 ton dodge is registered for 7200kgs, (combined total of gvw of truck and trailer +/-). if want to go to valemount on this coming friday i'll need to have a log book? filled out for at least 14 days prior...
i would get every possible beneficial option available if i was going to haul a trailer like that with a grand cherokee. don't get me wrong, i'm sure its capable of hauling the weight and all that good stuff, but as maxwell said, its a sheer matter of which unit (jeep or trailer) is in...
i share the same sentiment. i've been pretty lucky so far, i've also lost my jerry can on the trail up before and the group behind us was kind enough to drop it with the rest of my groups at the cabin on owlshead. (how i failed to notice i didn't have a jerry can to leave there to still baffles...
i'm suprised nobody has chimed in with the "its a hemi, fuel milage doesn't exist" comment yet, lol;)
but for what its worth the fuel milage got better with the addition of the current 5 speed transmission they use. i average 16-17L/100km (17mpg) empty and 22L/100km (13mpg) towing 5000+ lbs...
ya my friend has a 05 half ton hemi and he did what you are proposing. imo not only was it louder than heck, it sounds like sh!t. the cops were always giving him grief about it, and finally a noise ticket. you could hadly carry out a conversation in there.
i have flowmaster on my hemi, 50...
as the title said, i found an intact rev side panel, pipe side, on goose tower road today when we were goin for a ride up around swan hills. it has a defining feature the owner will be able to identify. shoot me a pm if you lost it.
with my 2010 hemi 2500 i consistantly get between 16-17 l/100km on the hwy empty driving normal- so passing and cruise on 110 or so. i have got as low as 14 l/100km, but that was doing 95km and no stopping.
pulling my enclosed that weighs 5500lbs, and driving 105 and no more, its more like 23...
