    Yes everytime i have went , i always ask for directions at the gate. They give a backround check and search the truck before u go in. Once ur cleared ur on ur own for finding the building ur sposed to go to. The good thing is, ive never been disrespected on a base. They treat u like one of their own, and if u need help tarping or securing, they goout of their way to help.. Atleast that has been my experience

    Crap I need a little help; I don’t understand why I can’t get this tight; I pulled all the slack out on the other side where I got it hooked

    Yep, throwing brake pads on the rear drive axle, a new leveling valve, and a couple brake chambers while we're at it. Brake chambers been back feeding a little bit, and the leveling valve would leak sometimes if it's sitting just right.

    Trying to get ahead of small stuff before it's a real problem. 506k miles so can't complain about a few minor issues with all original parts.

    Pull all that excess chain up and put it on the deck. . Take the hook off and attach it lower onto itself , take all the slack out then it will get tight. The extra chain should be underneath ur binder rather than ur hook, if that makes sense..

    The hook on your binder needs to be above where your chain is hooked.
