It's been a while back but mine will only lock up on gravel...not on the pavement. With a setting of 8, I don't feel like the trailer is pushing me at all when I get on the brakes hard. Thank...

Crazy fix for furnace that wouldn't light

I think I'll just stick with my 24 inch cheater pipe. Haven't broken it yet, but I did manage to twist off a cross threaded lug. Besides that, DW says I can't pull another trailer just to be sure I...

One thing that was very noticeable to me was the lack of jerking and grabbing at low speeds like my old Prodigy. I've just done a very short test run to date but in a few weeks we're going to hit...

Great information...Now there's one more thing I wish I had. Just have to decide if it's worth the money to retrofit. Until then, I've still got my trusty screwdriver.
