For everyone that doesn't live in a dry climate and has no idea what a swamp cooler is. It's an evaporative cooler. It blows a big fan across pads that are soaked with water. The water evaporates cooling the air and adding a bit of humidity. They work awesome in dry climates but are useless in humid areas.

@mikeb.7183 17 күн бұрын

They work awesome until the dew point hits around 55 degrees, then its like living in Florida

@stoptuna7671 17 күн бұрын

Also swamp coolers are the home of legionaires bacteria. Any and every shower head, fountain, or any spraying water should be checked or just treated.

We've had to do a lot of mold remediation over the years here in Tropical Florida due to their attempted use. Sadly there are still local companies selling them to poor folks who don't understand what the dangers are. Too often in the past all that could be saved afterwards was the framing and the roof leaving the poor souls in shock as they saw their home stripped of all the interior partitions, insulation, carpeting, etc, etc with just the roof supported by the bare studs left behind. Then the real work starts of cleaning everything left behind with ammonium chloride, re-sheathing, setting up positive air pressure, de-humidification, etc, etc before the work of rebuilding really begins. Soft goods that couldn't be disinfected would have to be destroyed with perhaps digital copies made of family photo albums etc. We would try to find one exterior partition to leave the sheathing on as that would save the owner on permitting, engineering fees, etc. Today it has gotten a bit easier with the foggers that can be used to kill the spores even inside wall cavities however in not so distant past it was brutal. Best!

Just a tip for a dual tire set up, put the valve stems 180 degrees from each other. It helps with balance and shaking issues

@georgevindo 17 күн бұрын

I hope they got the valve stems lined up with holes in the outer wheels. One truck I drove with aluminum wheels, I had to get little extenders for the inside wheels to get an air chuck on them.

-- "Hunter went home and everything fell apart." ~ Paul Cox, 2024. Hey Hunter. I say that's the best compliment Paul ever gave you. He reveres and worships you as a son. In his dreams, he throws rose pedals beneath your every step. Give the old guy a hug. I know I appreciate it too. To get my attention, my nephew crashes his R/C aircraft into my house.

You need space between your duels because the bottom of your tire bulges under load. You don't want the bulges to touch each other. When they do , it creates heat in the sidewalls, resulting in a failure/blowout.

I think those stem radios were typically suspended on the back so you could get a good angle. They have the long stems because you'd set them back in lift the back so the face would be more visible. The knobs wouldn't be perfectly square with the face of the dash, but the face plate would snug up and make it look square.

@ironmike4843 17 күн бұрын

What he said, also the filler chrome plate also goes behind the dashboard to allow the radio to fit the opening in the dash without the know sitting stuck all the way out. Trust me I have installed hundreds of them in classic cars

Just make sure that you carry a good quality rock removal tool( crow bar) because it don’t matter if the tires are tight together or 6 inches apart the trail will provide a rock just the perfect size to jam between the tire…wedging the crow bar between the rim and the ground so the rock will be forced out then driving forward slowly..we cut our crow bar so that it wouldn’t hit the underside of the bed when standing on the ground..

POINT OF CONTENTION Toyota minimotorhomes had a single wheel rear-end with dually adapters on it and there were major issues with that set up .... I hope technology has improved the metallic strength & engineering of this idea .... I suggest keeping an eye on it and watch for signs of shearing on the adapter bolts both wheels as they toy homes would lose rear wheel alot till they went with a true dually rear-end.....
