diesel

At 60K miles, 3rd owner, well maintained by us, can’t speak for others. Lost some power uphill and pulled into ABQ to have checked. Need Compression Test but, rear bath engine access cut out in floor only allows you to see engine, access pipes and head gasket. UNABLE to lift valve cover (not...

Diesel fuel stabilizer for winter storage - yes or no? Thanks!

I always test different cars I buy to see the difference in actual mpg when driving at 55, 65, and 75 mph. I find it usually more significant than expected by other's accounts. Recently I tried it with my 2011 Buick LaCrosse V6 which I get a measly 12 mpg driving 3-4 miles at a time around...

When I was in Alaska I saw black smoke coming out the tailpipe on my Silverado and I was told I may have brought some farmers diesel. Well today I got on truck some and more black smoke and I know I have not put any farmers diesel in truck. Now a little while ago I'm riding and get on the fuel...

I'm pretty good at researching stuff but there just is not a lot of info out there on the ISL or as they now call it the L9. In the course of my research I came across some information on the Freightliner website that references the M2-106 chassis. Says that the DD8 motor is now an option...

I pick it up today and love it I should have bought it when I bought my 6.4L hemi.

I currently own a '12 Ram 1500 and tow a 22' Grey Wolf that weighs roughly 5500lbs, *probably more, I've never weighed it. We just purchased the TT in June but have owned the truck for a couple years now. We just finished our 5th camping trip today and have only stayed in the state of MN. Some...

We are planning to do an early oil and oil filter change (we have ~14K miles on the odometer and Mercedes recommends 20K mile service interval) after our trip to the SW in our Forester MBS 2401WS. During the trip we found areas where it was impossible to avoid using > 5% bio-diesel fuel, hence...

So we purchased our 2017 Forester MBS model 2401W and headed across country to visit parks in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Mercedes warns against using more than 5% bio-diesel to avoid catastrophic damage and voiding your warranty. I am sure this is also the guidance...

Just an open question/opinion about using a Nissan Titan XD 4X4 (5.0 L Diesel) for my tow vehicle. I hear every thing about the BIG 3. Dodge, Ford, Chevy. But I want to hear from or those who really dove into this consideration. I currently have a Forest River 2109s. We're not thinking of...

are you happy you did or do you question your choice? Or are there things you wish you had done different? Was the extra money for the Mercedes Diesel worth it, now that you have owned it? Do any of you feel like you would go with the Ford if you had to do it over? Your likes and dislikes...

Let me start by saying no evidence of coolant in exhaust or oil. No overheating whatsoever. I do however once in a while smell some. From where? Can't tell. So how much coolant would you expect to add annually?

I was sitting this morning in a Huddle House restaurant across the street from a Loves Truck stop with a large fuel sign. The sign was proudly displaying 2.57 for a gallon of diesel. I just paid 2.03 a gallon for diesel at a quick and easy station a couple of days ago and yesterday Murray's at...

My Silverado has 115,000 miles and I have noticed the dmax uses a little oil. Is that okay or is it a sign for me to trade it

I have a 07 2500HD 6liter and am buying a XLR 29HFS toy hauler planning on hauling 800lb bike. We are planning on jumping in with both feet and booked a site in Yellowstone for next year with some friends. So here's my question, will my truck handle the mountains of the trip to Yellowstone from...

Time to sell my one owner 2015 Coachmen Prism Class C 25 foot. You will not find a cleaner motorhome. Shower and oven have never been used. What attracted me to this motorhome is the Mercedes Diesel. I average 13-15 mpg. This motorhome is easy to maneuver in parking lots unlike the bulky...

What are the advantages/disadvantages over each other?

I have a small wrench with a 1d coming on every 10 minutes or so. I'm in the RV part now, but I am not sure what to do about. There's a vague reference in the Manual about, but nothing specific.

Or lack there of. If I run my MBS out of fuel, is their a set procedure to start the engine? Just in case I push it too far.[emoji57]

Arizona taxes diesel fuel at $.18/gal for non-commercial use and at $.26/gal for commercial use. I just stopped at a major truck stop and pulled the 5th wheel through the commercial truckers diesel pumps as it is much easier access. there were other rv's doing the same. there is a sticker on the...

White ext/Tan leather int LTX crew cab shortbed with sunroof. Truck only used for towing for 30 of it's low 41,000 miles! Excellent condition with a few minor blemishes but no rust, everything works well, and numerous extras, like Magnaflow exhaust, K&N air filter, new Michelins on the front...

Looking at a different truck tomorrow for going to a toy hauler. It's Ford certified used with 20k miles and setup for towing. It's in excellent shape and clean as a whistle. It has remaining warranty. it's the 6 3/4 bed. KBB has it at $49k which is what they are asking with low miles. It has...

Considering buying a new truck in a couple of months. Looking for owners that can tell me about problems, dislikes and unloaded mpg.

The Legacy 340KP class A diesel motor home by Forest River offers two slides and plenty of room to entertain at 36 feet long. Starting in the rear, there is a master bedroom with a queen bed, 28" LED TV, and a slide with a chest of drawers and a wardrobe. The bathroom has a shower with skylight...

We're 3 weeks into a 3-month trek from Raleigh through the south, Texas and points west and north. I've got a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3L diesel and a 7400 lb towing capacity. We're towing a 21' Rockwood Mini Lite 2104S with a total weight of under 5500 lbs. I've noticed the engine...
