diesel

I am considering updating my gas f250 to a diesel, to tow my Windjammer 3065W. My gasser has 155,000 miles still runs strong and is reliable. I want to take some longer trips next year and I feel a Diesel would be a better choice . It would be a ford F250 , don't really want to get into debates...

Hi all, I am currently on vacation in Arizona (without my truck and trailer) and we pulled in to the Costco gas station in Prescott. To my surprise they sell diesel from the pumps on the far right hand side of the forecourt. I don't know if this is something new and something Costco will be...

Just learned this weekend that the Sunseeker came out in a diesel version similar to the Solera and see Forester also. So what is the difference between the 3? Do the Sunseeker and Forester have more outdoor storage? We just drove past a dealership 2 days ago and saw a 24 ft diesel Sunseeker on...

Hi - We've been towing a travel trailer (~ 7,000 lbs fully loaded) with our 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 for the past 2-3 years. We're looking at upgrading to a fifth wheel but not quite sure what yet. I was hoping to see what others are using this truck for. Our truck is a 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 Short...

Has anyone experienced this warning light coming on? I topped up the DEF before leaving on the last trip, and it came on after 100km. I'm now in the countdown stage for the number of starts I have before the engine goes into limp mode. I topped up the tank again when I got home, but the light is...

I am already looking at upgrading and only been camping 2 months for about 7 weeks. Have towed the 831RKBSS around 2000 miles with F-150 Max Tow package and get a little too much porposing for my blood. Have added Firestone airbags and have Propride hitch. That being said, am on the brink of...

I was thinking about buying a 2014 2500 Ram today, but noticed they only offer a 3:42 rear axle ratio rear end for their 2500 diesel trucks. They still claim a towing capacity of 17,800 or so, which is what used to require a 3:73 rear axle ratio. They still offer their heavier rear ends for...

Well, the time has arrived. Just 4 short years ago I had no grand children... and now I have 6.:eek: Anyway, I have decided to upgrade my RV situation in 2 steps. First I will have to decide between a F-250 and a Ram 2500. I drove a base-model Dodge today and I was impressed, except for the lack...

I have been looking at a 2004 F250 diesel 4x4 to for an update . The original owner has it for sale, only has 60,000 miles.He has receipts for all recommended service. NO modifications on the vehicle or engine. Anyone using this type of unit to tow. I have heard that was a bad year for Ford...

Has anyone used the new RAM 1500 3.0 L diesel for towing? Seems like the ideal size for part time towing and good mileage. It's new, so any info on mileage and maintenance issues welcome. It's time to decide whether to trade the Burb in ... or keep it.

We have a 2011 Solera Freightliner diesel. I wanted to ask how long is too long to keep the engine idle. We are traveling through the summer and need to run the AC during the day for our driver. (We use our RV for work) Instead of running the Generator we were wanting to keep the engine going...

I asked a question regarding their testing of the Ram 1500 diesel and it made the magazine. They did skirt around the answer a bit. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using the FRF mobile app.

Just wanted to throw this out there. As I, and I'm sure others are new to diesel power in our RV's, it would be great for some of you veterans to pass along some wisdom from your experiences of the do's and don'ts of DP's. Any help will be appreciated. Rich

Have any Solera owners installed a Genturi for the diesel genset? I am thinking of purchasing one but due to the location of the gen set near front driver's side , wondering how I would anchor it without installing brackets on the coach? Other sprinter based rvs strap the Genturi to the ladder...

I went out to start my truck we were going to the in laws for dinner. Truck started but was missing like crazy I turned it. We jumped in the Wife'said car and went to the in laws (where I am right now. Truck ran fine the other day. I'm thinking (and hoping) that it is a Cam Position Sensor. I...

My sons girlfriend borrowed my truck last night. She put unleaded fuel in a Ford 6.4 diesel truck drove about 10 miles. Dealer says we can do an easy fix of draining the tank replacing filters ext for about 2,000 with the possibility of problems down the road or replace the high pressure fuel...

Just returned home from a trip to the Elkhart factory to have items corrected that my dealer was unable to fix correctly. Randy and his team rock!! Warren was my tech and he accomplished more in a day and half than my dealer who had my rv for more than 3 weeks. It was good to put a face to...

Just can't let it go. My head says no way. The Encounter is now just where I want it, I can get it serviced for $60 compared to $350 to $500 for a diesel and though the mileage may be a little less than diesel, I pay less for gasoline which looks like a wash in my book. But the heart thinks...

It seems it was just a month ago that diesel here in SE Michigan was $3.69 and now it is $4.29 & have seen $4.49. Does anyone have any clue as to why the price is up $.50 per gallon in just a month?
