diesel

Lots of discussion about the best rig to tow with but not a lot of hard data to consider. So I wrote this to detail the performance of our 2013 RAM 2500 Diesel pickup while pulling a 2013 Forest River Flagstaff 832IKBS 34 foot travel trailer across country. So let me know if you have any...

In the market for a 5th wheel. My tow vehicle is a 2014 Gmc 2500 D/A. Wondering if anyone else in this forum tows this unit with a 3/4 ton truck. Thanks for any input

Just bought a 01 Reflection 35 foot on Spartan chasis. Of course I filled it up on the maiden voyage. First stop 80 miles later I parked on a downhill slope. Diesel was pouring out from behind front wheel. Either by the filler spout or top of tank. Any ideas? Mark

My wife and I are in the market for a new 5th wheel. I recently bought a 2014 GMC 2500 with the Duramax diesel. The 360 Crusader has caught our eye and has dry weight numbers that indicate it could be safely towed by our truck. I'm interested to know if anyone on this forum has the same model...

My 2009 Sportscoach legend engine compartment prop open arm catch won't catch and lock open. Coachman is telling me there is no maintenance manual showing a diagram with part number. They also gave me the part number for the upper grill assembly, say I need to replace the whole upper grill. Does...

First, let me be honest, I am being lazy. I always drain the fuel from my generators and run them out of gas, so I am trying to avoid doing that right now. I could go out and test it for myself (and eventually probably will), but just curious if anyone has tried theirs. I have a 2000 F250...

Looking at Vengeance 396V and the Vengeance 316A. If I am understanding all of these tow guidelines, the pin weight should be fine. What I am worried about is the total weight. We actually wont be towing toys in it so it will just be the water and personal belongings needed for weekend trips...

Considering F350 diesel crew cab trucks to pull a 5er. I'm finding that there are more short boxes available than long. Looking at 2011 models. Can I get some pros and cons. Thanks in advance, Katie

We have a 2011 Ford F250 diesel to pull our travel trailer. When we are traveling, we usually stop at a truck stop for our fuel. We had a situation last week that caused a bit of confusion. Before fueling, the pump asked if we wanted tractor fuel or reef (?) fuel. Can anyone tell me what the...

OK, I bit the bullet and bought an 07 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins to replace my 03 F150 5.4 gasser. I think this upgrade should really help with my 24 foot Wildwood bumper pull. Looking for some advice on care and upkeep of the diesel as well as any experiences with this type of transition...

This is my first post on the forums and I have a question that probably has already been covered. ANY help would be most welcome! I already own a 2012 Dodge RAM 2500 Crew Cab "Heavy Duty" 4X4 Short Bed with the 6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel. The truck has a ball in the bed (drop hitch) and has a...

If anyone is contemplating buying an aux tank, I have a suggestion. RDS is apparently one of the best co's to make the tank. However, you can't order directly from them. BUT you can tell them what you need, they'll give you the proper PN. Then, using that number, call eg Northern Tool. I wish I...

Hello all. I'm new to the forum and am planning a box truck build. I'm starting this thread with the idea of continuing it later, but right now we're just shopping for the right truck and doing research and planning. I wanted to start with a topic that I'm hoping some veterans or mechanically...

Haven't been able to find this anywhere in the forum. I placed our order for a Solera yesterday at the Greensboro NC RV show. We are downsizing from a 38 footer with Cummins Diesel. Due to the size and volume of the fluids (26qts of oil) I have always had Cummins shop do my maintenance. The MB...

Hi! We are new (2nd owner) RV'ers! We just bought a '08 Berkshire with an Mercedes engine & took the pusher down to have an oil change & lube. It appears that Speedco does not work on this type of Mercedes engine much and did not have the Allan wrench to take off the oil pan! I am wondering...
