diesel

Uggh, embarrassing post but you folks are a wealth of knowledge, so here it goes. A number of weeks ago we returned from our last trip of the season on a pretty low fuel tank level. Soon after, I was still going through a winterization exercise on our DX3 (Cummins 8.9ISL) and had to...

I would like some opinions on what is the best size truck to pull the Cardinal 3450rl I’m going to use Ford names but doesn’t necessarily mean I will pick a Ford. But f 250 size or F350 size. I want diesel I could say 2500 or 3500 for Chevy. But I thought the 2500 HD would be a little undersized...

I have a 2021 DX3 37RB, and was wondering how much diesel the generator uses per hour of usage. I am sure someone has figured this out, thanks in advance. Also how much does the AuqaHot system use when running on diesel?

My generator has 80 hours on it, only run to exercise. I do maintenance yearly. Problem started when generator shut off after about an hour of exercise, display showed "generator alert". Since it was almost time for maintenance I changed oil, cleaned oil strainer, changed fuel filter and cleaned...

I realize that Dynamax doesn’t currently offer a toy hauler motorhome. Curious why not – is that too narrow of a segment? It seems like an interesting niche, and I would think there would be decent demand for a Super C diesel motorhome with a garage. As far as I know, the only other new toy...

Here is some information on the DD8 that I thought would be helpful.

Apologies if this has been asked before. Can the Isata5 (2020) be filled with B20 biodiesel? Is it ok for both the engine and the generator?

Hi.We have a 2019 F250 Lariat and are going to upgrade to a 2021 SRW F350 Lariat long box so we can get a larger and nicer trailer. We are looking at a 2021 Redwood 3401RL with the only extra option being 3 slide toppers. The dry weight according to Redwood is 13,246# with a 18% pin weight. We...

Can anyone tell me on 2006 Coachman class A motorhome if you need to service the generator from under the coach? I do not see any signs of the generator sliding out the front of the coach like most models? Seems it will be a real pain to service from under the coach.

On a recent trip, I was surprised to find ONLY B20 available at Loves, and other tier one fuel stations in the Kerrville, TX & Fort Stockton, TX areas along I10, It caught me off guard, and a quick check of my manual indicated 5% max (B5). Double checked on the web and...

I'm wondering if anyone else has considered using their on board fuel tank for diesel? My toys are diesel, I don't have an on board generator so I'm thinking why not? What is everyone's thoughts on this?

I was looking through my gauges on my 2015 RAM 2500 with Cummins. I never really paid much attention to the engine hours gauge.. I just turned 37K on the truck and it has 1016 hours on it with 65 Idle hours. I guess some people make note of the hours when they do any type of maintenance or...

If you are a FMCA member the September magazine has article on maintaining and servicing Aqua-Hot systems. Sorry, don't have a link just the ditigal magazine.

This is our first diesel (Berkshire 2014 360hp). Do we need to use any fuel or oil additives? What precautions do we need to take when driving or camping in freezing weather (engine and coach related)?

I have an engine question about the 6.0 PSD. A seller told me today that his 2003 F350 4x4 with a bulletproofed 6.0 with less than 160k is experiencing low oil pressure at idle. He says it is totally fine while driving. I want to know if this is a common trait with these engines while idling...

Attached is a detailed spreadsheet showing 16 fillups, 400+ gallons, 3 week trip from Dallas to L.A. round trip with stops at TA, Petro, Flying J, Loves, Speedway and a few independents. My biggest savings were the 2 fillups at TA/Petro where I saved $51 (28%) off the pump price $186. In...

I would like to purchase a backup fuel cap for the above coach. Will someone please post a link where I could purchase one? Thank You

I have a 7500 Onan Diesel Gen. it want start, it has a code 36 coming up. I just had it service, it was working before the service. The oil level is not under or over the mark. taking the line off and it is getting fuel to the fuel filter, air filter is new and the oil is new. I need help...

We recently purchased the subject coach. Today while getting ready to take it out on our first trip we noticed it did not have a manual on the Dodge RAM 5500. Should that have been included? Thank You!

Forest River Forester MBS gas mileage question. We went on our first trip and I was wondering what other people are getting for diesel mileage? I towed a Jeep Wranger with a Blue Ox. I had the cruise set at 65 and I averaged 11.5 MPG. What are other owners getting? Is there a better speed to...

We were planning a trip West this month and had filled the spare diesel tank to take advantage of the lower prices. We have had to delay the trip for about 6 weeks. My question is, what is the maximum time to "store" diesel #2 in my 34 gallon bed mounted spare tank.? Is there a stabilizer or...

I was idly surfing the web this afternoon, and ran across the following truck at a local dealer: 2015 F250 Lariat Crew Cab 6 3/4 bed 101,000 miles 6.7L Diesel 4x4 10,000lb GVWR pkg 3.55 Electronic Locking axle Lariat Ultimate pkg and some other assorted options I don't really need a diesel -...

Bought a used 1 ton diesel (see signature). The sticker says to run the rears at 80psi and the fronts at 60psi. Does that sound right for trailering to ya'll?
