My guess, is that it is to tell you that the surge brakes are working. When you apply the brakes, the "surge" opens the circuit and the light goes out. If the light does not go out when you brake, then your surge brakes are not working. I am basing this off of semi trailers. If you walk...

The type of wheels you are refering to are called "Dayton Wheels", but more commonly called "shit spreader" wheels. If at all possible, I would change the hubs out. The first time you have to change a flat you'll understand. It involves mounting the wheel/tire, tighten the clamps down, place...

Jitts3: Good lookin Petercar, but ya need more chicken lights. I was partial to my Signature 600 Cummins, but that's personal preference (although I smoked an awful lot of kittycats, and occasionally got smoked myself). But I agree with everything you said. Many "oldtimers" can remember...

I am so proud of my governor. He might not be gay, or had an affair, but believe me he has done plenty of screwing (the people of Illinois). Sure hope he gets to meet a handsome lad named Bubba who can learn him the finer points of takin it in the backside!!!

Ok, having driven a semi for a good part of my life, I feel obligated to respond (I have probably backed more miles than most people I know have driven). Placing your hand on the bottom of the wheel is what I usually tell people, but this only works IF you are backing with your mirrors. I...

I have BFG Rugged Trail T/A's on my 2002 GMC 2500 HD (E load rating) and have been very happy with them. They have about 25K on them now and are wearing excellent. They do not have alot of road noise and have been great in water and snow/ice (Illinois winters = mostly ice). If I remember...

Gotta be Cowboy Coolaid = Coors Lite

Just got the latest Boattest.com newsletter emailed to me, and there was a link for a PC based program called "BoatMaster" that allows you to practice docking w/o the stress of actually meeting the dock w/ the bow of your very expensive boat. I have yet to play with it, but they have a free...

I went to the St. Louis boat show this last weekend, and got to see all the fun new toys...still dreaming about that 4300 Sovran Tiara. But back onto the topic. This was the first chance I had to actually see the Volvo IPS drives. I must say, very impressive. Does anybody know if there...

Not sure if anybody is affected by this, but apparently Lake Cumberland is being, at least partially, dewatered for fear the dam at wolf creek will breach. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070123/ap_on_re_us/dangerous_dam

OK, I am first going to say that I would not necessarily suggest that anybody actually do this, unless you continually watch your boost gauge!!!! And even then, I am posting this more for the idea that this motor has HUGE un-tapped capabilities. From the factory, the turbo will build around...

If anybody wants to know how to build more boost out of their Cummins, let me know. I will warn you now, it is not for the faint of heart (in other words, if it is still under warranty, don't touch it). And I am sure that some of the diesel guys here will have heart failure if they hear what...

Thanks everybody for the welcome. Widowmaker - do you live on the lake, or keep your boat at one of the clubs? When I do buy something, it will definitely be slightly used. I just can't justify spending that much $$ on something new, when I can spend considerably less for something a...

osd9 - I only have 1 truck, so I could only pull half the house....I live in one of them there high class neighborhoods!!!! Sea Gull - You forgot the priority that comes before the boat, and she controls that one too, so I guess the house does come first. :huh:

I finally registered. I have been watching this board for the last couple of months. It appears that there is a great deal of experience and knowledge available through this board, and I want to thank all of you in advance. Unfortunately, I do not yet own a Searay yet, and probably won't...
