    8,000-lb travel trailer wheel bearing grease

    I'm getting ready for annual service on our travel trailer. Replaced bearings and races on this tandem-axle trailer last year (HADCO axles). In looking at older threads by BOB (site originator), I am leaning towards SCHAEFFERS #238 Moly Supreme Grease, an aluminum complex, extreme-pressure...

    A Bowl of Red

    Chili. (From the title of Frank X. Tolbert's 1972 book). Frank had a string of chili parlors here in Dallas before he passed away (and after a long career as a newspaperman), but since then, a good bowl is about impossible to find. When Larry Levine started Chili's on Greenville Ave in 1975...

    Tortilla Soup

    The most famous tortilla soup I know of is the one made at The Mansion here in Dallas. But, as it is tomato-based, not what I generally think of on this subject. We consider tortilla soup to be what is otherwise called "chicken soup with lime and tortillas" (Oaxacan, I believe). Below is a...

    Part Numbers for Class A Motorhome

    What was commercial use of that chassis? FORD big truck dealer likely to carry some of what you need. Agree that 350/450 (550?) would likely overlap. Is there a chassis service manual available from HELM? http://www.helminc.com/helm/about_us.asp?Style=&mscsid=7N7WNKRMMLVP8J8TMVQTE5QMBXGM021A

    The New (kind of) Coast Guard

    Our Australasian friends have had me thinking on what constitutes roles (policy) in the present and future as global warming increases, and competition for scarce resources continues. A fine article here from DEFENSE INDUSTRY DAILY on the Norwegians and their view (purchases/budgets) as actions...

    '92 Sentra Clutch Replace $?

    Have a friend needing to replace the clutch on his 114,000 mile 1992 NISSAN Sentra. Any idea of a fair price for an independent shop? For a mechanic after hours? He's been quoted $600 by a pair of shops and that seemed a little high to me. He just needs to get it down the road another few...

    Bicycles & the Military

    http://www.combatreform.com/atb.htm You all may find this of interest. Despite many misgivings, the Long War (to borrow that phrase) is upon us. We should, as a society, consider the other (non-pleasure) applications of things as simple as bicycles. Spread them out to the many, develop...

    Stake-bed diesel pickups

    It's all about service after the sale. I'd buy any of the Big 3 trucks, but only based on the quality of service at the dealer and in the aftermarket.

    Canadian Navy

    The Canadians do a **** of a lot better in some areas than we do in military effectiveness(training, etc), and it looks like things will be heating up in the Arctic. Time to support and learn from our neighbors (and not just ASW). Global warming leaves more open the estimated 1/4 of untapped...

    Cooking for Engineers

    I love these guys . . correcting each other over conversions to milliliters, etc. Have found plenty of fun info. Much the best on cooking thermometers. Then, it's like BITOG! They take the details seriously.
