diesel

I have a 2012 Silverado 3500HD SRW with 75,000 miles on truck, would you trade before the warranty runs out? I would like a dually but I have to convince DW when is a good time to trade. DW says keep what I have, a month with no payment looks better than a new truck. Would y'all trade or put...

Ok I know this is been debated a ton but want some fresh opinions. Took our first long trip this weekend and got killed on gas. I have a 2013 Ford F150 with the 5.0 V8 and we got about 8 miles to the gallon. Pulls our trailer fine however does struggle a little on hills. Stopped at a weight...

Prior to buying my Duramax I read on a lot of forums, including this one, about how much more expensive diesels are. Constant DEF issues, $100+ oil changes, high price of fuel, etc. I've now owned my truck since November. In that time the price of diesel has been cheaper than or close to the...

Keep hearing more about these any 1st hand experience? Thanks Mike

Sometimes when I fill up it seems that the tank is full but then when I get down the road the fuel gauge show it is not full. The fuel comes all the way up into the neck and you can not put any more fuel in. I never can check my fuel mileage cause one time it fills up and next it doesn't. What...

Had my new shop truck delivered this morning. 2016 1 ton 4x4 dually Duramax Allison Cruise, air, tilt, power windows, power locks, exhaust brake, traction control, 60 gallon fuel capacity $44k out the door. 2008 2500hd Duramax 2015 Columbus 320RS 2016 nights camped "2" 2015 nights camped "34"

Heading down to obx coming up and will be staying at camp hatteras. Looking for diesel down that way? Can anyone confirm the lower towns have it or will I have to run back to the northern area? Thanks

I payed $2.52 US/ US Gallon for Diesel. Gas was $3.09 USD/ US Gallon I say Diesel Trucks Rule!! Pump Prices If you drive a sports car or add some Premium to the Ecoboost that is $3.69 USD/ US Gallon

As my sig says I have a 2011 Lariat F250 with a 6.2 gasser in. It pulls our VLite with no trouble what so ever so I do not even know what possessed me to stop by my dealer on Friday. So what do I see, a 2011 F350 King Ranch the same color as our 250 and it has a 6.7 TD. Talked to the sales...

Finally did our first long trip with the diesel half ton pulling our 6000lb (unloaded, not sure what we weigh loaded yet) Apex 300bhs. Got great gas mileage! Just barely 18mpg. Stuck right around 65mph most of the way. Granted it was decently flat, she hummed along pretty well! Sent from my...

When do you enable Exhaust Braking? I am towing a Rockwood Roo loaded weight 5500, but not sure if it should be on all the time when to/haul is on or if it is just for heavy loads or steep hills? Also after towing should the truck run for a few minutes to cool down, last time I drove a Diesel...

Just curious if anyone out there is using an ecodiesel? I have a 2015 Laramie longhorn and will tow a Rockwood 2306 from NW Indiana to Disney World with many stops in between, for a two week period. Anyone have any insight?

Finally put my Duramax to work pulling back the new toy hauler over the weekend. With the additional 8,700 lbs and big box behind it, the truck cruised along beautifully. Turned on the tow\haul, exhaust brake and set the cruise at 67, she purred along at 1600 RPMs. Definitely sucks a lot more...

Year: 2014 Model: Berkshire 400QL-60 Type: Class A Diesel Pusher Mileage: 15,000 Description: If you're looking to make the jump to a diesel pusher, this is a GREAT rig! We loved our travels in her (we nicknamed her Bessie) but now it's time for someone else to give her a home. What we...

I have had two trucks with the new 6.7 diesel, but the current truck is the only one I've towed fairly heavy with. The 2011 model would only rarely get over 200 degrees F, but the new one will easily hit 208 while towing. I've only owned it since last November so haven't towed during hotter...

Wanted to get some information about the best diesel for the Mercedes, are there different grades? I have never owned a diesel and want to use the highest quality fuel. Thanks

Happy 4/1 everyone:)

Does anyone have a source for Onan generator model 3.2 HDZAA Spec C parts? Have been looking online for a kit and not finding, perhaps I am searching incorrectly? Thanks!

So I have seen this discussed but most recently specifically for Mercedes MH. My manual says to not use over 5% bio diesel unless it has been modified for up to 20%. I don't know if it has, and when I called my dealer, he asked the diesel mechanic who said don't use the 20%. It was so quick...

New 2016 F 250 6.7L Powerstroke diesel. I'm getting a lot of "advice" about additives. Any credence to the claim they'll increase mileage and performance? Not getting much help in the Ford diesel supplement. Thank you!

Hi All: New to RVing (pu the Prism tomorrow if the PDI goes well) and as part of my 'preparing for the worst' decided to buy a jump start powerpack just in case we kill the chassis battery in our noob ignorance. Wondering, tho, how many amps are needed to kick off the MB diesel engine as...

Thinking about getting a diesel 3/4 ton pickup to solve the only 2 things I don't like about RVing. One is going down mountains and the other is manuevering around the gas pumps. I was wondering what it was like using the truck fuel lanes at truck stops. I've never really paid a lot of...

My Onan Diesel Generator gives blue smoke for about a minute when it starts. I don't recall this in the summer, but it is very noticeable with the winter weather (freezing and a bit below). I know that blue smoke (called ash in the literature) comes from burning engine oil. And, on cars, if it...

Not sure where this one going to fit in but it would power house for TT but no so much for a 5er. Some really interesting comments from the testers. 2016 Nissan Titan XD Diesel takes on the Extreme Ike Gauntlet Towing Review

I'll just leave this here. . .
