Q: a fifth-wheel trailer is one that has a hitch that connects to the towing vehicle at a point above the rear axle of the towing vehicle - not at a point on the rear of the vehicle as with a pull-behind trailer. for example this is a 5th wheel http//www.theironworker.com/f ifth%20wheel%20trailer.jpg my question concerns position of the point of attachment lets say the position of the king pin. for normal pulling of a trailer where is the best point to have the king pin should it be directly over the axle of the towing vehicle or should it be ahead of the axle if ahead by how much in what ways does handling change if the position of the king pin is changed this page http//www.etrailer.com/faq/fi fthwheelfaq.asp discusses using a slider arrangement to move the king pin for maneuverability. it doesnt discuss the optimum position for towing. instructions that came with a hitch say to mount from 0 to 6 inches ahead of the axle but provides no further information. -- |||||||||||||||| nehmo sergheyev |||||||||||||||| .

and brake fluid flush. anyway how important is this tensioner...does it just reduce the life of the s-belt if its bad the tensioner is what keeps well tension on the serpentine belt. the spring inside it can wear reducing the tension and allowing the serpentine belt to slip which will cause it to glaze over which will cause a tech. to look at it and say it needs to be replaced. the bearing that the pulley rides on can also wear allowing the pulley to wobble back and forth causing squeaking and slight belt misalignment which will also wear the belt. 80000 miles is about par for the course on a tensioner and yeah it probably should have been checked/changed the last time. then again it is a year later and it may have just gotten worse over that year most moving parts on a vehicle dont like it when they sit for long periods of time. are you relatively handy with tools the tensioner itself can be had for about $50 gates part# 38116 and shouldnt take more than 30 minutes to change out just remove belt unbolt tensioner bolt up new tensioner replace belt. .

on 20 jul 2005 100056 -0700 jrc john.raincrow@sbcglobal.net wrote tbone said the ice cube is weightless in the water as it is floating . the glass of water will weigh more because you have increased the mass contained within the glass. there is no magic here. you really need to think outside of the box every now and then. im trying to think outside of the box about this but this is just simple reasoning and there is no outside the box on this. this is not about the concept of some esoteric thing like the appreciation of classical music or the appreciation of the red rose in american poetry since 1957 this is a simple law of nature. everyone seems to be argueing about just semantics or more likely just trolling. in an attempt to clear this up lets do a little thought experiment. 1 place an ice cube on a scale...it has weight say 20g 2 remove the ice cube and place a container of water on the scale... it has weight say 200g 3 now float the 20g ice cube in the 200g of water. the scale will measure a weight of 220g. although the ice cube is floating in the water we have absolutely no problem in measuring its weight. this is not mass we are measuring here we are using a scale so we are in fact measuring the weight of the ice cube even though it is floating in the water. because that is what scales measure. i find no way to get outside the box here it is a simple law of nature there is no wiggle room about the basic law. the most we can do is to argue about the actual meanings of words. perhaps what you are attempting to say is that in the frame of reference to the water it is floating in the ice cube is weightless. that is true but in the larger frame of reference of the world the ice cube still has weight. so what we are doing here is nitpicking semantics. regards jrc so you are saying that 200 grams of water plus 20 grams of water equals 220 grams of water whod a thunk it. but how do you explain upsidasium beekeep .
