Thanks Ron!

Thanks for the reply but what's the difference between using something like the above 70amp dc-dc convertor on a regular lead-acid battery, and an alternator? I am not sure I see an answer to this. Yes, I understand the difference between chargers and converters but again we are faced with the issu...

Thanks Jason. My thoughts exactly on the valve for up front vs. rear. Sounds like it also needs a bulb primer in the line for those times it sits too long.

I don't see the pic.

I am resurrecting an old thread here to see how the Webasto heater is doing. Yes, life and procrastination has bitten me as the price on these have skyrocketed but i may still get one. I have read about some problems with sooting in the petrol model that have caused malfunction and/or high maintenan...

I had a great time meeting other Pinz owners and learning about driving the passes last year in Ouray. I hope everyone has a great time this year. Tell them all hello for me!

It has been a while since I have done mine but it will be much easier if you take the mount off of the truck so you can get it into a vice or other better support than the truck sheet metal. The taper can be very stubborn. Be patient and apply PB blaster or similar for a couple days then pound it. U...

Sooooo happy for you and jealous too. Not many trails like that in Indiana.

Wow! I am glad you are ok, well somewhat ok. Get better!

This forum is a wealth of information, assistance and at times entertainment, especially for those of us not fortunate enough to have other Pinz owners close by. It gives a sense of belonging. PayPal button clicked/ Thanks Vince!
