    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    those lower unit bolts have nothing to do with sealing anything. The just hold the gearcase on. The nuts are nylocks so not prone to loosening.

    Pushing Run-Flat tires to the limit

    same as my '08 silverado.....I have thought, when time for a new tire, about swapping the spare onto a running wheel and putting the new tire as the spare. That'd depend on my energy level at the time.

    Pushing Run-Flat tires to the limit

    "What I do now is lower the spare once a year and lube the cable and also spray the rim with fluid film, or else it will rust if steel and corrode if alu. Always check your spare!" that's the trick, do the routine maintenance....lube the mechanism.

    Pushing Run-Flat tires to the limit

    I do all my own tires. ( mounting, balancing, repair) All my vehicles have spares, a portable pump and tire plugs. Any trip taken I bring my 20v dewalt impact wrench. In my 50+ years of plugging tires, I've never had a complete plug failure. The 2012 volvo I purchased for my girlfriend did not...

    How to prevent jack from seizing up? Gets submerged every launch

    I'd have to see a picture of yours. I don't have a grease nipple either. There was a black cap that I would pop off and add grease if I wanted. I'd just stick the grease gun nozzle in and pump a few times. Mine never goes under water either. so this was the original on my '04 (?) trailer I...

    Help with axle replacement

    Since you have a Karavan, as I do (2004), call Karavan up and talk to them. Around 5 years ago I needed a new axle for my tandem trailer. They told me no problem, they'd pull the blue prints for my trailer and make me a new one. And they did. I might have the number, I'll look.

    R.I.P Chuck Norris

    beats sitting around getting fat. 😂 No claims of exercise extending life, but no claims it doesn't . Quality of life, however, is a claim and has merit, for which I can attest to. I'd rather have my kids invest their time in some physical activity other than sitting around for hours with their...
