Battery Maintenance and Pulse Technology Conditioning with Solar can Double your Battery Life. Batteries keep us rolling and give us conveniences in our trucks and trailers. But if you don’t maintain them, you’ll be stranded and surprised. I run a lot of toys from my eight 12 volt outlets in my truck, from my pop cooler to my motion detector in the trailer.  Diesel trucks use two batteries for extra power to start a diesel engine. Living Quarter horse trailers usually have two deep cell batteries that can be drawn down and last a long time. With 4 batteries between your truck and trailer, proper maintenance is as important as checking our trucks oil level. SolarPulse Industrial Solar Charging System is a product that reenergizes the sulfates and charges your batteries with FREE sunshine, more...

Snow Chains; On the farm decades ago, we didn't have a 4x4 truck. On my dually, I would take the outside duals off and chain up the inside duals. This worked well especially with limited slip differential. Now at least in Colorado, 4x4 pickup trucks are the most popular. But on the mountain passes even on Interstates, chains are used often in the winter. Six and seven percent grades test how much traction it takes to move a truck uphill on hard packed snow and ice especially with a trailer. Chains and textile socks can help you turn that corner and have stopping ability when you can't even stand up on the road.  More...

They are bold and sexy! I consider them the best built mudflaps I've found. The new model has a polished aluminum yoke, and heavy wall aluminum tubing. Still adjustable in, out and up, down. Which is so good for my truck reviews which range from a tall H2 to a Nissan Frontier. And I review new trailers too, any mudflaps can protect your trailers from mud, that's a slow speed problem. But the damage comes from.... More.....

EZ - Connector, RV Pro Plug and Max Brake Wireless Trailer Light Tester Those of use that tow trailers every week know how many times we drop the coupler on the ball and plug in the wire connection (and wiggle the connection for contact.) Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights. Fuel injection and electronics make our trucks more trouble free, now trailer wiring and electronics make tracing trailer wire problems a breeze. What do you do when you don't have someone to check your trailer lights while you run the blinkers and light switch? The rest of the report...

I visited PopUp's head quarters in Chanute Kansas this spring. Kansas, like Iowa is know for making farm machinery. PopUp Industries is in the part of Kansas, where generations of welders understand quality metal working, like the Amish bring quality to RV manufacturing. What better place to make hitches for American trucks and trailers. I first heard of PopUp because of their SB1 shortbed coupler (picture below). With shortbed trucks, now the most popular configuration, I hear from folks every week emailing me that they just crunched the cab of their truck with the corner of their trailer. Now what do they do? More...

CNG, is it the Answer for the Fuel Crisis? Update Dyno

Forget veggie oil, bio-diesel, power programmers and hydrogen water separators. And hear the gospel of CNG/diesel. The beauty of this system is if I can't find a Compressed Natural Gas fill up station, I just run on diesel. We've now had time to run several tanks through our test truck in a loop using both CNG and diesel together at 2 to 1. We reduced our fuel cost per mile 23% to 27% with Colorado prices. Almost double that with Utah prices, Read the rest as one of the most important reviews this year...

Automated Safety Hitch, Joe Jamieson thinks towing is an evolutionary process, should improve issues of safety and ease of use. Now with thousands of miles towing with the Automated Safety Hitch, I understand it's importance and fun. I can take my rig, which at times is 72 ft. long, weave in and out of hotel parking lots, gas stations and switchback mountain roads. The braking steer axle makes it quadra-steer. It looks complicated until you understand it. The four features that standout the most using this new trailer technology is, improved braking, lane to lane direction changes staying in your lane (turning corners,) stability and jackknifing with purpose.  The connection to your vehicle can articulate vertically for uneven ground, railroad crossings providing an independent suspension. But horizontal movement is solid giving you the safety and stability of a 9 ft. longer wheelbase. The rest of the review...

Bale Bucker; Can't always have a loader tractor nearby when you need it. And you don't always have two people to help load hay with a winch system. Bale Bucker lets you load 4 bales from the ground to your hay rack before you need to go on top and stack them. A lot of smart folks told me they were going to invent something like this, but too late, it's here and it's great !  I see several trailer ladders that are just plain flimsy. Bale Bucker comes with a heavy duty solid ladder rated at 280 lbs, how did they know my size? Then you'll have the freedom of getting hay when and where you want.  Ph. 208-896-4966  Read MrTruck's Review

Ode to the Tailgate, You don't think much about your trucks tailgate, but try to do without one. On the farm, my tailgate was a workbench, sawhorse and picnic table.

Affordable Injectors    By Jake Morton For many of us with 1994-1997 Ford Power Stroke Diesel’s, there is a limit to how much horsepower we can make. In 1999, Ford redesigned some things and power levels went up considerably, especially when adding aftermarket devices.  For a long time, all the early Power Stroke owners could do was a chip or programmer, exhaust, and an air intake. Anything else was just out of the question, price wise, for most hobbyists, daily drivers, and do-it-yourselfers. But now..... Read more..

Can you Keep your Trailer from Going South? It's getting common, someone telling me their white stock trailer was stolen while parked at a sale barn or their new Living Quarters horse trailer was stole while at a fair grounds equine event. Desperate times increases the population of desperate criminals and trailers are an easy target. No system will totally prevent theft, but the devices that make stealing your trailer a long drawn out process, should discourage the bad guys, sending them to look for easier targets. Read more....

DualLiner... real truck bed protection system by Mark Simonds If you’re a truck owner, you know the importance and value of the bed of that truck.  You can haul just about anything from Grandma’s rocking chair to a load of gravel.  The only problem is that after a few months of use, the bed floor and sides will start to show their age much faster than the rest of the truck.  Scratches, dings, and dents will eventually appear... making the truck look older than it really is – and more importantly....

Electricity, far from the City … And everyone else. By: Hosspuller Once upon a time, horse camping meant a canvas tent to keep from getting wet and a saddle for a pillow. Today, horse camping means a horse trailer rig with all the features of … home.   Electricity makes a person comfortable, at home and at camp. The opposite is also true; electricity can make a person dead, at home and at camp. This article is about your camping rig operating on 120 volt AC current and a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI or GFI).  Enjoy the Read....

Ceramic Roofs: Imagine you're a horse, it's August, you're in a metal trailer, it’s hot, you’re hot, sweaty and to top it all off your head is next to the hottest part of the trailer. It’s so hot the roof is popping as it expands from the heat, keeping you worried and on edge. The whole trailer radiates with heat like a pressure cooker. All you want to do is throw yourself to the floor and Colic. Of course your owner is in the truck with the AC on all the way, listening to a Taylor Swift CD and slurping on a Big Gulp. Now, think about the trailer being 20 to 30 degrees cooler, the roof isn't popping like a loose tarp in a windstorm and there's no condensation dripping on your nose. More....

Air LIft AIr Bag Suspension Upgrades; Instant adjustability is the advantage. Being able to remotely stiffen the rear suspension under a load, does improve stability and eases control. Over-the-road semi-trucks have proved that air bags are reliable. Eighteen wheelers can have air bags on the tractor, trailer, cab and seats. Our 4 and 6 wheelers can use help with air, especially at maximum payload and trailer weight. What caught my attention with Air Lifts' new wireless air bags remote control. I worry about leaking air lines and the usual culprit is the air lines going all the way to the front of the cab with the flexing between cab and bed and the lines going thru the fire wall into the gauge and control switch. Air Lifts eliminated those problems with a remote.....  More....

Best Truck Steps, Save your Knees Unlike other steps, Best Truck Steps will work with or without a receiver hitch. They don't have moveable parts to wear out or lubricate. So many steps I review use the receiver hitch frame or stick in the receiver hitch so you can't us the receiver hitch for your trailer at the same time as a step. Different from Ford factory tailgate step, you can use the truck rail for the hand rail and sit on the tailgate or use your tailgate as a work bench like

New Truck Repair Technology comes to Horse Trailers If you follow my articles, you know how big a fan of new technology I am. At the new Transwest Truck Trailer RV facility, is an awesome machine called a Road Simulator. Looks kind of like a dyno, but does use rollers to test brakes rolling resistance and balance.  Transwest uses it to test all their new horse trailers so they are ready for your roads. It can find just a torn axle seal leaking on the brakes. It would surprise you how many "new axles" on new trailers are over greased, limiting your trailer brakes ability.  With the kind of traffic we pull trailers in, testing brakes becomes routine. And worn suspension maybe be causing your rig to ....More....

QuickBite Coupler: You'll love this coupler and want to replace what you have ! I did,  No more in and out of your truck to see how close you are to the trailer or if you're centered and you know how much fun it is asking for help to back up.  You'll hear the coupler snap when it's latches.

Comes with it's own alignment rods that stick up over your tailgate to watch through your rear view mirror. Read  review...

USRider Urges Horse Owners to Use Air Pressure Monitor Electronic Device Helps Prevent Dangerous Blowouts. Lexington, Ky. (Sept. 8, 2006) – Flat tires are the leading cause of disablements involving horse trailers. USRider is involved in a research project with Dr. Tomas Gimenez to test the benefit (if any) of using air vs. nitrogen to inflate tow vehicle and horse trailer tires. An electronic air-pressure monitoring system is being used to assist with the research. During the research, Dr. Gimenez and USRider have noted significant safety benefits resulting from using this system. Rest of the report... Blowouts are not fun. And even whipping your trailer doesn't let you see the rear axle in a safe way or at night. Pick your reason, the cost of tires, safety, calm horses, or just the pain it is to change a tire. Been waiting for something like Pressure Pro to help me monitor tires on the fly..Click for more

PML Ford F250 Differential Covers Install, If you've read your trucks owner manual, there is a different schedule for normal use and "severe or trailer towing".

A lot of us overload our trailers especially using 3/4 and one ton pickups. More....
