Re: Dodged a bullet today Reply #20 – February 15, 2019, 08:25:13 pm Mike,The air jack comes from Harbor Freight and costs about $90 to $120 but is frequently on sale for much less. It works with air or you can use it manually. I purchased a couple. It really needs a plate from the jack to the frame of the coach in the two possible places you might want to place the jack. It puffs (for lack of a better word) a couple times a second and will raise it in twenty or thirty seconds. Nice hand control. The adapter I made is really necessary to not only safely lift the coach without the jack coming off but also to spread the load a little on the frame. I purchased a reel for air but the HF hose is terrible so I replaced it after this photo was taken. A vise grip holds the rear jack plate in place only to locate it before using the jack. If I have a tough lug nut, I use the air tank along with a very short large diameter air hose for max pressure at my big gun (can't see it in photo). I made the adjustable safety tools so I would not lose an arm or worse. Here is the air jack link. I bought the 20 ton but the 12 ton should do the trick: Search results for: 'air jacks'Pierce Quote Selected

Re: Dodged a bullet today Reply #23 – March 02, 2019, 10:07:51 pm —FOLLOW UP—Took the tire to Herman Power Tire in nac, By chance the Michelin rep was there, talked to him personally.. He as I expected had an excuse for this and an answer for that but finally admitted a defect was possible and would give me an adjustment. He didn't say how much, but he would credit the tire shop and they would send me a check.. waiting on that now! So my hats off to Herman Power tire and the Michelin rep.... Keith Quote Selected
Re: Dodged a bullet today Reply #24 – May 02, 2019, 01:48:30 am I suspect the tire was damaged from high speed impact. Road hazard claim. Quote Selected
