More pics here: https://bellingham.craigslist.org/cto/d/bellingham-1992-toyota-hiace-camper-van/7114496082.html New engine installed Feb 2020 at 130,000 miles (210,700 km) It’s hard to properly describe the uniqueness and rarity of this particular 4WD campervan. Back in the 90s, Toyota made...

I’m looking for anyone with recent information and experience with the new generation 3 Ram V6 ecodiesel. I’ve found a few 2019 models but they won’t work because the few I’ve found only have a cargo capacity of 1107 pounds. Doesn’t seem correct but that’s what there’re telling me. The 2020...

I need to add oil to my Dodge Ram 3500 diesel. What is in there is Mopar 68024967PC, I need to know if this is synthetic or real oil. Can I mix the two?

So our 1996 Ford diesel (with less than 200K miles on it) now needs -another- 'small' repair of 1-3K. DH is not mechanically inclined & I actually have been encouraging him to look at something else for safety & comfort reasons. We are in our late 50s & it is time to upgrade and we want the TV...

With the 2020 camping season only a couple of months away, I have been going through my owner's manual for my Cummins ISB 6.7 diesel engine and making a checklist based on the manual's recommendation. Besides an oil change, which I will be doing my self, I have saved up large cardboard boxes...

Tonight my Wife went to start our new to us 2015 Duramax at work and tried to start it with remote start and it would not start. She got in and tried to crank it over i assume immediately and it wouldnt start. She called me and I was led to lots of information on glow plugs and the dash light...

Well, i finally made a leap for a half ton w/ max trailering package to a 1-ton diesel! While i was well within the safety specs, having the extra cushion brings some comfort and hopefully calms the towing nerves a bit come spring when we pull the 5ver out of storage for the season.

Hello all. I just bought a new to me diesel and I just saw the cord in the attached picture. Anyone help me out and tell me what it is? Comes out of the console.

Generator hit 175 hours today and promptly quit running. It was doing a fine job until I went to dump today. On the way it quit running and now won’t start. Replaced fuel filter and that didn’t help. Any ideas? Cranks over fine it acted like it ran out of fuel. Tank is full, the fuel hoses look...

For those interested in matching a truck to camper.... I will say I love my Colorado diesel with the Eagle camper combo. Three years and doing great. I changed the shocks (Bilstein 5100 RHA which allows the front adjustment 2" higher) and a Boise Spring Works leaf spring pack) and leaf springs...

Here's the deal. I live in South Dakota and camp maybe 10 times a year. No long hauls, but alot of 50/60 mile runs to campgrounds in the black hills. Long pulls up 7/8% hills. I currently tow with a 2011 GMC 2500hd Denali, 6.6 Duramax. I pull a 2018 FR 255rr toy hauler. CAT scaled well below all...

This is a change. Going from TH about which I know much to SOB Diesel Pusher 35 ft +/- that is a challenge to drive. So Holiday Rambler and the Monaco Family evidently have no Forum of their own so I guess here I stay. Maybe I move to the Berkshire side a bit. Oh heck, is there a Pusher...

Onan 8k Diesel Gen Using Too Much Oil ? Would like to know what other folks are experiencing with the 8k diesel generator. It seems that my 8k generator needs oil added fairly regularly. (Sorry, I can’t give you any specific data on what I mean by ‘regularly’ yet, but it seems to be enough for...

Good evening all. We’re making the switch from a gasser to a diesel for our new rig, first time with diesel. Reason I didn’t get a diesel the first round was because of the winters in Wisconsin and me not being sure what to expect. Any cold weather diesel owners with advice on when they plug...

I am very familiar with the towing characteristics of a diesel. I'm a ram guy and I'm thinking on a newer tow vehicle. I'm looking at used trucks and you can get a LOT more truck for your money in a gas job. Our trailer is 34ft and has a GVWR of 9200lbs. Does anybody tow with a Ram Hemi? If so...

There is no greater fear than accidentally putting gasoline in a diesel engine. Even the reverse does not do the kind of damage that gasoline will do to the high pressure pump of a MB Sprinter. On our recent trip to Florida, we found ourselves in the middle of no where and getting low on fuel...

Anybody towing with one of the 1/2 ton diesels?

Anyone towing with either? We had a 99 diesel Super Duty and a 26’ Airstream, too big, too noisy, too truckish ... so we sold both and got a Canyon, then yesterday finalized the deal on an E-Pro 14FK. Silly trailer dealer wanted to add a weight distribution hitch. I laughed, said no thanks, and...

Has anyone spent January or February at Ocean Lakes Campground in South Carolina...or have a recommendation for one on the south Carolina coast ? thanks from frozen Minnesoda !

Hi all. I am thinking of getting a smaller truck. I currently have a Ram 3500 dually but would like a smaller truck. Our travel trailer is around 8500 lbs. I am just wondering if anyone has the 1500 eco-diesel and what their opinions are. According to what I've seen the truck is capable up to...

Sensitive topic, I know, but we are really in a panic about this. We are looking for any help to resolve this problem that Ford seems to be downplaying as a tire pressure problem and steering dampener failure.Has anyone experienced this and come up with a safe resolution, especially with Ford 1...

I'm looking into purchasing a newer diesel ('18 or '19) with low miles. I have talked to a tech that attends many auto workshops and conferences each year and he tells me that using a diesel as a daily driver is not good because it doesn't really get a chance to "work" like they were designed...

2019 Isata 3 FW. I just noticed when I start my diesel generator, it draws the voltage from 13.7 V down to 12.1 V and takes a little while before it allows me to start the generator. I did not notice this in summer… Seems like I could start it right up. Is there some kind of heater that is...

I'm looking at buying a used F250 as a tow vehicle and I was wondering who can tell me what the pros and cons of the different Ford diesels are. 6.0, 6.4, 6.7, 7.3? I'm trying to stay in the 2003 and newer. Are there certain years that I should stay away from?

How long is a "safe" time to let the engine run at normal idle speed? I have seen various opinions on this, but no consensus. I do know is there are two options that can be dealer installed to increase your idle for extended periods. One is a fixed high idle and the other is a variable high...
