I'm waiting for the weather to warm up here, too. I want to see if I can replace the converter/inverter. That may be a project best left to the RV shop, unless Wolfie wants to make a trip to Idaho.

I'm sure I can replace the leaky hose and connector. I just don't want to be outside if I don't have to. I suppose I could plug in the trailer and fire up the heater. I'd need to buy the replacement hose and connector, but I'm pinching every penny so the wife and kids can go to Germany in March.

-10 degrees brings out the grumpy in me! I hate it when my paws stick to metal stuff...


Last two weekends really sucked - but they slowed me down enough to find a better way to persue the G-II project: Grab a whole explorer chassis, dual piston disc brakes and all. IFS front suspension, sway bars, 8.8 locker rear - all the stuff it would be a pain to mod to a ranger frame. NO CABLES OR LINES TO RUN!

Then add a 351W, a ranger cab and bed, shake but don't stir...

$500.oo for the rolling chassis - sans engine, and maybe without the tranny.
(he says quietly)

I ain't sayin' a dang thing about the source yet - there are a few of them there, and I plan to build a working relationship.

What are you going to have for a tranny?

I don't know - I really don't.

The guys around here build up C-5's, some use clutches out of C-4's, and other parts. They do not modify AOD's or go with Standard shifts. Most throw money at stuff out of catalogs and are either clueless or on to something - I'm not sure.

I wonder what a pure tranny man who built racing stuff would say?

I bet the explorer tranny would bolt right to the 351(?)W.

Question mark because it will be bored.

V6 runs the same bell housing as the small blocks, afaik.

But this is all way, WAY


Frankly I want a manual gearbox and clutch no matter what.

It needs to be level within about +/-3 degrees front to back. This allows coolant flow to happen in the coils that zig-zag back and forth across the back of the fridge.

Try (carefully) feeling the chimney of the burner/heater tube in the outside fridge compartment. It should be warm when it's running on either electricity or gas.

A small flame should be visible in the burner area, or the heater element higher up should be warm or hot to the touch. It looks like a metal rod sticking out of the tin with two wires coming out of it.

The new thread is HERE: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/75...roject-tt.html

I thought this one got filled up with a lot of unrelated things.
