Thanks for the reminder. I worked in Searcy for six months and would drive up to Bald Knob for 'gator or Memphis for BBQ and had to cross.........the Mississippi! By the way, while looking for Moro Bay Arkansas on the map I discovered Prescott AR. Jeff--It's enough to make my head spin...or think I was reverting to the dizzy "blonde" moments of my youth. One of the many things I find I'm enjoying are the serendipitous "Hey...they've got one of those, too?" moments that impress upon me anew, each time, how important & easy it is to find common ground with other homo sapiens...love this site & what I learn from y'all.Lynne

After my trip to Salem (Oregon) next weekend I'm going to tackle torquing those bolts. It's a bit over 72k miles and I'm sure they haven't seen a wrench since they were installed.Lynn I wonder how they justify calling it Moro Bay since Arkansas doesn't border water?Duro yeah we are close. We cut through Redondo all the time or use 16th on the way to my dad's condo. He lives in Des Moines.I found a bit on the history of Moro Bay, AR here at:http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=1241 1 Likes

I learned something new and now both are in my list of places to visit. Thanks Joel Wiley.

Re: New Owner and Member Reply #30 – January 30, 2018, 10:50:33 pm The motorhome did great with the trip to Salem. The new HID projector headlights were amazing in the pounding rain friday night! I disovered a missing lug nut concealed by the wheel simulator. It seems the previous owner forgot to mention a cross treaded lug stud. The coach is now at the Ford truck shop having the stud replaced and a leaking rear differential input pinion seal reaplaced too. I decided to let Ford tackle the seal just in case the old seal has worn a groove into the shaft. The repair for that is a bonded sleeve. Not something I want to attempt in the driveway. I'm happy as pie to pay someone else to fix these two items. I'll torque the frame isolators when I retrieve it from Ford. And that should conclude all the maintenance and repairs. Come on Summer! 2 Likes
