@@shepardsonp yes. With that hitch installed I can. Without it, my tailgate will hit the jack

@@chriswhite2686 lol. Yea that 10mm bolt is the stuff of bad dreams. As if it didn't suck enough that your having to do this job anyway. There is a 10mm bolt on the bottom of the turbo thats the Suck cherry On top.

@@Samwise41 it is and it does fit well. As I recall it seems to fit with about a quarter or maybe 3 eights inch of space all the way around it. So. It doesn't fit like a glove. But it fits good enough for me.

@@dartagnantaft5918 lol. I appreciate you. Thanks for watching, liking and reaching out.

@@Volfan812 Yea. Thats dissapointing. I wouldnt buy another one myself. I dont really know what I would buy. Maybe a Segway. Other than telling you to pull up the rubber mat and pull out the speed controller and unplug and reconnect all the connections. I wouldnt have any real concrete advice for your scooter. I've seen problems like that come down to a corroded or poorly seated connection before. But , it's not the most likely scenario. It is possible though.

@@dejeanmcquillar3206 i have never heard of that myself. There is a speed sense wire on the speed controller. It's how it limits your speed to 20mph. Without the logic of its own speed. It would go above 20mph. Since it's constantly monitoring speed. It automatically slows you down when it creeps past 20 or, really creeps past the max speed limit for whatever mode your in . This is most obvious when going down a hill. Not that I would really be able to know what's wrong with it. But it would be interesting to know if the speed limiting feature is working.

@@GregMcDowellq It was

@@jimmcc2543 Yea. On gas. You can get away with a junk spark plug more often than not. On propane. Not so much. Propane is less volatile than gasoline. It needs a good hot and healthy spark. Which was unavailable with this junk trash plug. Never heard of an LG spark plug. But that was the fix.

@@737mechanic I'm glad you saw this video as well. You need this hitch, you'll be glad you bought it. Thanks for watching!

Ok, well now I've watched the whole video. I'll see if my stepper motor is broke up. If you're seeing this, Angrybeard (Chris?), I don't have a tenth of your mechanical skills. Should I check that slide you referenced at the end of the video for uneven play, to confirm whether I need to order one? Also, good call pulling the plug (no pun intended) on that last "experiment". Yer buddy owes you a beer my man. Thanks again for posting this, I'd be down all kinds of rabbit holes without this.

@@Carricknagavna as long as the backfiring didn't ruin the electric choke on your carburetor. You'll be fine after the spark plug install. Let me know how it goes..

@@angrybeard4673 On order now, will do. Thanks again for posting this, good grief.

​@@angrybeard4673, quick update: got the recommended sparky and now it runs on propane! Who'd a thunk it, man? Thank you again! But DuroMax: a spark plug, really? I wonder whether the guy who suggested the original plug is still there. I'm not dead sure yet the gear teeth in the stepper motor aren't compromised - the choke feels ok to me by touch, although it requires adjustment shortly after starting on propane or it punks out (maybe that's normal). In any event great video and saved me all kinds of grief. Much appreciated.

@@1new-man all very good points. Tha is for watching my video and chiming in

@@wodwagon2056 I can give you my opinion and some facts. Fact: your trailer should be level when attatched to the hitch. If it can't be perfectly level it should favor a nose down direction. Fact: There is no indication that this hitch should help control trailer sway. Fact: Before I bought this hitch I did have a slight amount of occasional trailer sway. Usually while driving through a long curve on the highway. For some reason that almost completely went away after installing this hitch. There are anti sway bar assemblies that can be purchased and installed and there job is to control trailer sway. I've never used them and I have no experience with them. My truck is a dodge 3500 . It is a dually. From my perspective , based on conversations I've had with various people over the years. It appears that the trucks today that have coil springs in the rear rather than leaf springs. It appears that they struggle more with trailer sway issues due to the squishy nature of a partially loaded coil spring. That's a theory and I can't validate it other than to say it's been a topic of conversation. Something to note maybe. But, not like you can do anything about it other than maybe consider an anti sway kit. Sorry I dont have a solid answer for your question. Goodluck on your journey and thanks for reaching out. Regards AB

@ thanks. I am spot on level. I have the Andersen WDH and felt like it has done nothing to help. I may bite the bullet and buy the ProPride. This hitch looks like it would work well for a smooth ride though. Thx

@@78fordtruck4 LOL. Well. You are correct about that. They have other issues too. They all do. However it would be just wrong if I failed remind everyone of a fun Ford fact. They gave everyone the infamous 6.0 liter engine. Which was not only a self destructive little beast. But is also responsible for delayed treatment and even death for those who had the misfortune of taking an ambulance ride in in a 6.0 equipped unit. I had a Ford with the 6.0. I loved that truck but , it got sick and just had to go. Dodge front axles have shit geometry so they're always ruining ball joints too. Turbo actuators go out. EGR coolers crack. They all have there thing. I personally like the 6.7 liter Fords. I like the Ford chassis better, I like the interior better, the way they drive better. The 6.7 is a beast. But. I have a dodge. I have had many dodges. I do find the Fords are more attractive. Though they're 10 speed transmission madness is a mess. I'll tell you what really sucks. It just seems like nowadays these manufacturers are in such a hurry to get shit out to market. They seem to have lowered there quality control. Leaving the customer as the tested for the product and then fixing the major shit that they can't get away with ignoring through recalls and warranty. Making it your problem.

Maybe no problem. With differential. But when that cp4 blows its a 7 thousand dollar fix if ya do it yourself. 10 thousand if pay someone.

@@dwarrowdane1 there is no play at the carrier bearing. That would be verified by pushing on it. It has no movement

@@howardrfrank that's great to hear. Thanks for the feedback. I hate that everyone is having this issue. It's an induced problem. Induced by the decision to use a cheap inferior sparkplug rather than a proven performer. All to save a few bucks I assume. Nobody would've noticed an extra 5 dollars added to the price of the generator and they gladly would've paid it to avoid the aggrevation of this shitty plug. So annoying! Extra annoying in my case because it took out the stepper motor on 3 carburetors as I recall. Unbelievable. So they did cut corners and go cheap with this generator but it's still a good generator. Goodluck to you and thanks for reaching out

@@videoforgeeks yes. As I recall it does. However the backfire issue which is the central theme of this video. Is caused by and resolved by the spark plug. The backfire that occurs has nothing to do with idle control.

@@AlvaroNarveza i assume that you are talking about the screws that hold the rear wheel cover in place. Just drill them out and replace them with new screws. They are not real critical so if you mess up the threads you can just force screws to go back in. It's not ideal that's for sure. But I dont know what else to suggest. Whatever is left in the screw holes must come out somehow. They are to tiny to be able to use a screw extractor on. Just use a drill bit that isn't any bigger than it needs to be to clean up the hole

@@ljquanstrom you should've watched the video

@@Zephyr_Weiss I have never actually removed the tire from the wheel. Not sure what it takes.

Front or rear tire?

Actually. It doesn't really matter. I studied it. If it's the front. You just have to remove the speed controller so you can unplug the harness for the front wheel. As for the actual tire. You just need to get some tire spoons. I'd look for something smaller than automotive spoons. Most likely to locate them in a Google search for lawnmower tire removal tool or something along those lines.

@@brianroberts5176 So I went to colemans website and did a Google search and I dont find an El cot. I see a deluxe and a Ridgeline and a trailhead and some others but nothing called . El cot.

@@brianroberts5176 i tend to agree. It's very nice and durable. Upscale style. But. As far as being functional goes. A Colorado cylinder stove would be just fine and half the money

@@brianroberts5176 lol. Got it! We'll, the poles are in one bag and the tent is seperate. The poles are heavy all bundled together .

@@brianroberts5176 i like it. They make another one now that is a little bit bigger. Mine is 12x12. I think the other one is 12x14. Might be 12x16. Can't recall. It wasn't an option when I bought this one. I would prefer the extra space. Today I would buy the larger one

@@brianroberts5176 lol.

@@brianroberts5176 lol. Your misunderstanding. The wind made the fireplace work backwards. It started drawing air from the chimney and exhausting smoke into the tent. The smoke wasn't from the wind outside blowing it back inside the tent. It was a backdraft

Unfortunately sometimes you have to put the door on the other side when there's going to be storms wind try it ,my neighbor has his chimney on the rong side of the house he always gets some backdraft, I never ever gave any problems problems

@@brianroberts5176 here where I live. The wind comes from the southwest 85% of the time. It never comes from the east. Ever. It does come from the north at times. Either because a strong front is dropping into texas from the north or a storm is moving things around. I would say that the wind generally comes from the west almost everywhere in the US because that's the direction the juetstrwam generally flows.

@@brianroberts5176 so unfortunately what happens when a front comes in is that the wind changes directions. Therefore the wind is not blowing in the same direction at midnight as it was when you set your tent up. The reality here is that. You can't control everything. This kind of shit does happen sometimes. It shouldn't be something that stops anyone from enjoying camping and being out in nature.
