Quality Breakage right there.

did someone somehow over tighten the pinion nut and shear it off?

That’s what I was thinking. It only has 41000 miles on it.

So got her all back together and started the break in. Did the 20 mile and then cool down per @DanStew. Then went on a tour around the lake for a total of 83 miles. The old noise is gone and it was smooth and quiet. Big shout out to @DanStew

Jeannie and I went to Catch 22 in Chapin to put another 80 miles on the motorhome. All is good. This thing runs and drives so good.

Drove the motorhome to Rolling View Campground in Durham NC. It’s about 250 miles of all interstate. Set the cruise on about 65 the whole way. Ran great with no issues except the cab ac doesn’t work. Looks like I’m getting about 8 miles per gallon. Jeannie sat at the table and worked all the way there.

looking good, wonder how to get that mpg to double digits?

Downhill both ways.

My Ecoboost pulling my 26 footer gets 8-9mpg... So... Its the cost of doing work...

I can’t wait to see what I get pulling a trailer.

Probably about the same actually... that 454 Suburban we had didn't do much worse loaded than it did unloaded.

I hope your right

Did a towing test with the General loaded up. Did great. Went from Siesta Cove to the traffic circle and back. No big hills but seemed to pull pretty good.

The RV looks like it needs to have the wheelbase stretched

probably turns on a dime, just gotta watch the rear swing

Yeah it has a shorter wheelbase than my Gladiator. Probably better roll over clearance too.

 

[DanStew]

with enough tongue weight you will need a wheelie bar

 

[Weldin Rod]

Hmmmmm?

 

[Weldin Rod]

Got a little done on the Elk proof bumper.
