Maytag Fridge Warm, Freezer Cold
Turns out my fridge was left open all night, and the coil in the freezer iced up. I had to take a hair dryer to it. This video is a good explanation of how a fridge works (I had no idea!). When the fridge is left open, the cooling mechanism runs non-stop trying to get the temp down. If the compressor is running non-stop, it doesn't give the coils a chance to defrost, and ice builds up. You'd think ice on the coils was great, but then it won't allow air to pass through the coil (radiator) and get super cooled. I also taped a 2' piece of copper pipe to my vacuum hose so I could reach the coils under the fridge. #warmfridge

Portable Air Conditioner in Semi

Needed an option to keep the cab cool while we're parked overnight in the truck stop. I didn't want to idle the truck all night for the air conditioner. Picked up a small portable air conditioner from home depot for $280. My 2200 watt predator generator will run the air conditioner and the fridge.No problem. as long as it isn't in eco mode. I might actually end up running my 3500w predator. It ...

This is why you should never follow behind a dumpster. Even though the load was covered, They still had some stuff fly out. Luckily I think it was only styrofoam, However, it made a pretty loud bang when it hit the sleeper. No damage. #dashcam #hdtrv hdt
2005 Hummer H2 Windshield Leak
Переглядів 444Рік тому
Spoiler alert: It wasn't the windshield leaking. it was the marker lights! I already sealed the rear drivers side marker light a few years back. now the front passenger side started to leak. Easy fix with RTV. I figured I'd seal the front drivers side too, but when I pulled the light, I saw that the previous owner had already sealed it! It looked good, so I left it as is. Rhe back marker lights...
Lippert Hyraulic Jack Replacement

Removal and replacement of LCI hydraulic landing gear jack, level up system. I hit a curb with mine, and it was leaking fluid. Pretty simple and self-explanatory to replace, just a thing. I would point out is to use the new owners from the plugs that come in the new Jack. I actually raised my jack up by a couple of mounting holes. I may need an additional board under that jack when on very unev...

Old House Secrets
Переглядів 477Рік тому
Our home, built in 1884 has a 2nd floor room that has been sealed off for who knows how long. Every time we try to access it, something else happens that needs immediate attention (hence the busted pipe). The house started as a rectory for the Catholic Church next door (that burned down in 1947), then became a convent for the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart. We are the 3rd private family to own i...
Large Marge's 1st Pull!

Our 1st test run pulling the trailer with Large Marge. We took a quick run down to Westhampton Beach and back along Sunrise Hwy. About 20 miles round trip. I'm not exaggerating when I say I couldn't even tell we were pulling a trailer. Large Marge is a 2000 Volvo 770 that was singled short and has a Herrin Hauler bed installed. She is titled as a motorhome. 2 bunks, bottom bunk converts to dine...
Goodbye F350, Hello Volvo!

Sorry to see Mac go after owning him for 15 years! Unfortunatley he just wasn't up to the task of hauling our fully loaded 5th wheel. He did fine on flat ground, but add an incline and we slowed down far too much. After many years of wishing, I finally got an HDT (heavy duty truck) to pull our camper. What a difference! Same mpg as Mac, but quadruple the torqe and double the horsepower. The com...

    I held a large piece of paper up against the window and traced it out to make a templet. Then I spray glued a thin piece of plywood to a piece of one inch foam board insulation. Cut it out with a bandsaw and drilled a hole for the vent. The plywood gives it some rigidity and also something to screw the vent to.

    As a suggestion: You should shut off the audio recording on your dash cam. Things being said in the background can be used against you if you need to present it in court. The same with GPS speed indication.

    Thank you very much!!! I was trying to put air in my tires yesterday and could not get the plastic caps off. I figured there must be a tool for that, and I found this on Amazon, but I really wanted to see someone actually demonstrate it in use before I bought it. Your video provided exactly what I needed! Thank you! Going to purchase it now. Looks much easier than trying to use pliers.

    I would 100% reccomend the air over hydraulic brakes. Other than the Morryde IS suspension, it's the best mod I've done to our trailer. ua-cam.com/video/ycLQty3jE-Y/v-deo.html

    Hi. Love it. What is your length? We don’t want to do the smart car thing and would like to run a HDT and a 43’ trailer and not exceed 65’ total length. I hear that very short HDTs can ride rougher

    • @largemargesentme
      @largemargesentme Рік тому

      Hello. I should probably know my length, but I don't ... trailer is 45' for sure. The truck doesn't ride rough at all. The original owner ran tires at 90 psi, I run them at 100 psi (mechanics suggestion). Rated at 110 psi. The air ride cab and seats take away most of the bumps. Either way, the hdt is a far more comfortable ride than our old F350
