How often do you change the oil in your diesel truck? What kind of oil? I change my own oil Sent from my iPhone using Forest River Forums

I thinking of upgrading my truck. I currently have a 2012 Tundra 4.6l DC 4x4 and pull a 2011 Rockwood 2604. The truck pulls fine here on the east coast, but I'm retiring next year and DW and I want to travel west and I know this truck won't do mountains well. I'm looking at some used...

I have a 2005 Ram 2500 4x4 6spd man 4dr 6.5 ft. bed with 4:10 gears. I have been fantasizing about a new/newer TV. I have a few friends with similar newer trucks...the mileage they report is between 11 and 18 by the computer and general driving by different people. I have not been using fuel...

First let me say that I have had three diesel trucks and diesel tractors and know the advantages of diesel- better fuel economy and torque at low rpm. I am trying to decide if a diesel motor home is cost effective. It looks like for a comparable floor plan the MB diesel is around $20,000 higher...

I found a ford 450 with a 6.4 liter diesel. Is this a good engine or should I keep looking. Don`t remember the mileage. One owner truck . Thanks

After much consideration wife and I have decided to trade the 2500 6.0 gas burner (great truck) for a 2015 Ram 2500 6.7 to tow our 34ft vlite with. Just thought I'd feel better towing in the mountains with an exhaust break. Although we live on the gulf coast. I'm in the car business, so I've...

Hi there, was reading on the forums about the Mercedes Benz diesel engine and biodiesel fuel. I am from Colorado. Joshua, if you're reading this, could you tell me whether I'm going to have problems finding biodiesel in Colorado that is a low enough percentage so that I don't harm the...

Is the diesel generator on a new Sunseeker going to be equipped with an Automatic Generator Start System? I've read in their manual on line, as I don't have my unit yet, that some are equipped with it allowing for a temperature to be set in the cabin so if it gets too hot for instance, the...

I'm looking at a 2007 that the seller states has the 7.3 diesel motor. I know the 7.3 was discontinued in 2003. Any experience with this motor is this model?

On our recent vacation while looking for fuel what we encountered was that 5 percent bio... (max) diesel was nowhere to be found. Probably half the pumps had no labeling other than low sulfur diesel. The rest said the pump dispensed diesel that was between 5 and 20 percent bio... Naturally when...

I thought I would start here but will most likely post something on the cummins forum as well. Last monday I went out to start the truck and nothing. You could tell that it was trying to turn over, just no juice. lights radio and windows were all working. tried to boost it and no luck. So we...

Figured I would put this in this part of the forum since it sorta relates to MBS. If the moderator feels it should be under the Tech Talk section, I can resubmit Odd discussion with an RV technician the other day. He suggested it is more effective and efficient to use the MBS to charge our...

Our 2016 Forest River Sunseeker (MBS platform) has the 3.2 Kw diesel generator. There are about 3 hours on the generator itself with no problems so far until yesterday. I started the generator and about 10 seconds later it shut off. The display in the coach said "Short Circuit". All...

Shopping for 3/4 ton diesel to tow our Prime Time Crusader 35RES and interested in hearing from our 5'er friends as to what model of truck is best and why. Interested in qualitative input and not antidotal comments such as Ford means "found on the road dead." We plan on touring the great USA...

I was looking at some Dodge trucks the past few weeks and I really like the specs on the 2500 Diesel. I was wondering if any fellow forum members have diesels and what is the actual liking of them. I am looking for any and all info, especially gas mileage and breakdown problems. I talked with...

Hello We have a 2008 Chevy Silverado with 6.6L Duramax Diesel. If we are towing and go over 60 MPH, we get a dashboard message which says "Engine Reduced power". The motor powers down and we cant go any further. We have asked different GM service shops and no one seems to be able to help us...

In case anyone is interested, thought I'd throw out a little feedback on my latest experience with a new GMC 2500HD Diesel/Allison. Bought the truck last summer and picked up the new 5er (Wildcat 295RSX) this spring. Currently on a 2000 mile round trip from Dallas to Moab Utah, Pagosa Springs...

I've read lots of articles from 2011-2012 (the year range I am looking to get) comparing RAM 2500 vs. Ford F-250 vs. Chevy 2500 , all with their respective Diesel equipped options. Never is it just 1 single truck on-top the entire time. What I don't seem to get is how when I look at the 2012...

A warning for those with the newer (2015.5 duramax). So, I have not formally posted pics yet but, I did get the new TV. Picked it up last week, a 2015.5 2500 Chevy Duramax. Thing is a brute. This is kind of long, sorry... Great truck only down side was that it had regular old mirrors on it, but...

We just got home this afternoon after 1700 km's on the new TV. Wow. What a difference between the Eco and the P Stroke. Some quick points -Smile on face -Eco 8-9 mpg with P Stroke 12-14 same route as last year -Torque -Brakes much better, exhaust brake a must have now -Stability on the F 250...

I need assistance in finding a Canadian dealer/installer for a diesel fuel tank for my 2004 F550 6 liter diesel 34 gallon midship tank. I found a Transfer Flow tank that will replace the OEM tank but getting it over the border and drop shipped to an installer is really costly. Titan does not...

2016 Colorado/Canyons will have an optional 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Diesel, DI (direct injected), 4-cylinder engine; which includes (K40) Exhaust brake and (JL1) Integrated trailer brake controller 200 hp @ 3600rpm 372 lb-ft @ 2000rpm Can't find any ratings.... :trink39:

I know this is very subjective and I am not in this for a gas v diesel debate.. Not interested with that.. There is a 200 page thread somewhere for that fight. Question: What made you choose between gas or diesel? Namely I am interested if the amount you tow helped that choice and what that...

I have a 2009 Charleston with a Cummins ISL 450hp engine, rear radiator. The last trip I noticed the coolant reservoir needing about a gallon a day (roughly 400 miles). Tested pressure, no leaks, oil is fine. I have been adding regular tap water, figuring I would take care of it when I...
