Thanks Pete- I need a camp that will be not TOO loud at night so the kids can get to sleep. Also a happy wife is a happy life thing too... with grouchy kids comes a pissed off wife. We are leaving here Wednesday morning, so if I hook up with a camp we want to contribute to the thanksgiving meal. I want to come prepared with what has not been spoken for food wise.

Looks like I am headed out to Dumont instead of Glamis. I am bringing my family and would like to hook up with other family's with small kids. My girls are 6 and 3. We can do a shared buffet style thingy for Thanksgiving if you want also. Thanks Tim

Wow, that's things NICE!! who gets to be the first to come in and ?

I like the swirling effects you did to the metal before painting it.

I got mine off Ebay. Love them. Go the fog lights swapped out also.

Me and my father in law did that last year. We had Hospitality passes for Saturday at the Mac Tools Pit. We were the only ones there most of the time. Got the kick butt tour of the rigs inside and out. Stood in the trailer as they fired it up. They had the fans blowing the exhaust away from us so we were able to watch the other people get choked out on the other side of the ropes. I had lunch with Chip Foose as he was hanging out in the pits too. T.V. can't do the sights and smells justice. If your there you FEEL it and taste it.

Get the Pertronix electronic ignition and put those worries to bed also.

That's true, I wasn't tyring to bag on you.

For $200 you could have bought a new carb and did it yourself.

Hopefully it is Hydraulic motor and it will pump back up. But either way (Solid or not) you have to split the case to replace those things. You might be able to pull the rocker arm off one side then pull out a pushrod and take a flashlight and peek down the tube to see the bottom of the lifter that way.

Are you sure you have hydrolic lifters? Most motors are solid lifters. Either way you have to split the case to get at the lifters. They aren't like a typical car motor lifter where you can just slide it in and out. The lifters go in then the cam and crank before mating the 2 case halves together. Your ticking niose could be a rod bearing going bad. Those can be changed by removing the pistons and cylinders then carefully replacing them without spliting the case.

I am positive there is no filter, I looked everywhere and don't see it. I was told that some generators don't have them. Maybe it's because I have a smaller generator. I will use the Onan oil. It only cost $4 bucks a quart and only needs 1.6 quarts. I don't want to be cheap on $8 bucks for the correct oil. Thanks for the input guys!

I have an ONAN 4000 on my motorhome. It doesn't have an oil filter on it so all I need to do is change the oil. My question is--- Is there a specific oil weight I should be using and does ONAN require a certain brand? I know I could just call a dealer to find out but this might help others on here as well as me so I am asking here. Thanks

Yeah, what he said!!! I didn't believe it till I watched it on the display. It will go down 200-300 degrees real fast.

I never take my truck above 1350 for short periods of time. My Edge programmer has an alarm to notify me when it gets that high. If you down shift and get the rpm's higher it will cool down the temps real quick.

I would say its the load above the tires causing the problems. If it was hard turning either direction the the wear should be uniform on that side. Try moving the load inside next time and see if the problem follows over to a different tire. If so then you have your answer.

Try these out- I was laughing my butt off taking these pics.

I have no idea of the name of that rock. I just took pictures of all the things that looked cool to me. By the way- no one noticed whats wrong with the 11th picture down? (the long skinny picture)

Well, I had a blast on my vacation!!! My reunion was awsome. Met some friends I haven't seen since we left High School. Even my Varsity Baseball Coach was there... Drank all night and just laughed with good friends. Sunday we hit the road for Vegas. Got to Sams Town and got settled in our rooms. Let the kids watch the Coyote/water show there then we headed for downtown vegas to see the Fremont Street Experience. Had dinner at Golden Nugget and I met up with Nick after dinner. Me tony and nick bounced around the casinos for a while, also watched these 4 drunk mexican guys pass out on the ground! Everyone was filming them and taking pictures with their camera phones. Then we headed back to Sams Town and continued to lose money at the tables. Said goodbye to Nick (thanks for the ride and hanging out with us!!) and went to bed. Got up Monday and had breakfast the headed over to Temple Bar. The Hoover dam is CRAZY right now with all the construction and the vehicle inspections. They almost didn't let us cross with all the fuel we had on the boat (25 gallons). I noticed the guards they have there are the same company that we use to kick back the Illegals to Mexico. I told the guy who I worked for and he looked at me shook my hand and said "have a great vacation!" Got to the marina and checked in, only to be told it's too windy and we had to stay at the dock for the night! We were PISSED! I took the jet-ski out to see just how bad the water was. It was pretty bad. 4 foot waves almost knocked me off the ski. Next morning the water was like glass. We headed upstream for Sandy Point and beached the houseboat there for 2 days. There was nobody on the water but us. We had the entire place to ourselfs the first day, then we saw a few locals out fishing the 2nd day. Had a blast on the See-Do and jet-ski. I put 215 miles on my father-in-laws jet ski in 4 days. The weather was great. mid 80's and the water was a bit chilly when you first touced it but nice when you got in it. My kids never left the water and loved riding the jetski with me. Tony brought a inflatable raft we pull behind the boat and jetski. That thing was cool. It had stablizer wings and you can get it 90 degrees with the water and stay on it. Friday came and we headed in to check the houseboat back in. We had an issue with the 12 volt batteries going dead at night so we had to run the generator to keep the sensors from beeping all night. The manager was real cool and gave us a 50 gallon gas credit for the troubles. We only used 75 gallons all trip so we paid for 25 gallons. Headed back to Vegas and took the Ethel M chocolate factory tour. Woo Hoo 5 minutes later we were done! Bought some M&M's and left for stateline. Checked in at Buffalo Bills and hung out till the girls went to bed. Me and tony hit the tables again. I couldn't catch a break on 3 card poker to save my life. I found a blackjack table with some good people that knew how to have fun and win. At one point I was down to my final $35 bucks that I brought for gambling. I turned that into $600 in a few hours! 3:30 in the morning rolled around so I had to get some sleep. Back up a 7am we got ready and went to breakfast. Wife wanted to check out the mall at Terribles so we went over there. I headed out back to check out the sand drags. I didn't go in but walked around and looked at the cars outside the fenced area. We went back to our hotel to ride the rides before heading for home. Took the family on the log ride and got soaked. My girls rode the frog hopper ride. Me and Tony did the roller coaster. Checked out and made the long drive home. It was a blast and can't wait to do it all again. Here are the pictures I took. Tony still hasn't downloaded his yet.

thanks for info on that!! I will pass on that one.

Diesel is now at $3.63 here in SD.

Does anyone know how to get to the Skywalk on the indian reservation? It doesn't seem to far from Temple Bar but I can't locate it on mapquest.

No problem Jim. Are you near Sams Town?

With him it's this -- Change= Could'ya Help A Ni%%er Get Elected? Not trying to offend anyone here- I got that in a text message and thought it was funny.

Mike- How do I find Sandy Point from Temple Bar?
