Anthony great to see your all fixed up. We missed you. Keep me posted when your coming through and we'll set something up. Hopefully Mike will be free as well. Cheers buddy. Hey you hauling for Heartland? Ordered a new toyhauler which will be ready in about five weeks to be brought up to Ontario. It'd be awesome if you got that haul. My next big one is going to be a dually conversion to pull this baby, 2900lb pin wt. What do think? Do I need it? Just want to spread the load over a couple more tires.
I did get a pic of the nice pin boxes
That one is very nice. I can count on one hand how many times I wish this truck was a Dually. Only when I get stuck pulling a 40' tt. Bumper pull park model. Those are very nasty to pull. I'm good with all the fw's with my single wheel. Especially now since I got my hd leaf springs.

I get the Dually question all the time. I would say that depends on the weight of the trailer, stability in the wind is a factor to consider. I only haul them empty, not sure how a toy hauler reacts differently when it's loaded with goodies. What length did you get?? What's the weight rating??

I have a Ragen FA 3405 and the hitch weight is about 2k and fully loaded with water and fuel I have weighted it and it was 16k and I pull it with a srw and have no air bags. It pulls fine that way my old truck that was stolen had air bags and it does make a difference I plan on installing air bags on my currant truck this year.

If I didn't have to work Saturday night, might have been tempted for a road trip!
Well, keep me in mind next time you come down this way.

That explains the no answer the phone.
They replaced ONE battery. It must of been a real stinker. Voltage jumped
up more than I have seen it after start and a lot faster too.
In the process of getting the battery checked we found the the master fuse for the
HID was turning crispy. So I got the needed replacement and did that when I got home.
Just so I would know what the power draw was I checked it. 14 Amp to start and
it settles down to about 11 Amp once they are on and warmed up. I'll have to keep an
eye on this and maybe rebuild the control box with a non-Chinese one with better
construction.

Awesome time last night with you and mchan68 last night and our wives. Great to meet up. Next time it's smoked ribs and bbq, at my house with of course some wobbly pops out on the back deck. Cheers buddy and thanks a million. Looking forward to your next Quebec haul. Cheers
Now it's off to change tear into that damb front caliper and see the extent of the damage. Hope the bearings not cooked

Watch your weight in BC. There the manufacturers GVWR is the legal limit for weight, so a big pin weight trailer would probably put you over. They have some weigh stations on the highways around Vancouver where all vehicles have to stop and get weighed, RV's included.
