    Revisiting heavy duty trucks

    I have to admit ... a year later, I am STILL blown away at how effortless my Duramax carried my Hawk across the continental divide at 14,000'. Not once did I feel it downshift. The acceleration was smooth as silk even in the steepest areas. Average MPG was around 14. For a lifted truck with...

    Revisiting heavy duty trucks

    If you buy a diesel with DEF, don't let it idle any more than you have to. They don't burn off the particulates like they should at low rpm's. Doing so will have you in the shop sooner.,

    Revisiting heavy duty trucks

    A clear jar and a little bit of settling time might work. You'll see water at the bottom if there is any. ... but back to the op topic ... I wouldn't want anything short of a 1 ton unless the trails I'm blazin' just cant accommodate the size of it. Toyota Tacoma is the answer then.

    FWC not permitted at Washington State Park Tent sites

    Seems as though the smoke issue could be rectified via park service but the crowd issue is just a jagged pill. You either want it or you don't. How was the surf?

    Revisiting heavy duty trucks

    Overstated? Once you have water in your tank, all of the separators and warning lights in the world isn't going to make a difference <_<. You will not get around having to drop the tank and flush the ENTIRE fuel system of water. That's how it is on a Duramax. It will cost you well over a grand...

    Revisiting heavy duty trucks

    Been rolling with a GMC 3500 Denali Sierra Duramax with BDS 6.5" LIFT for over a year now. I put Firestone air bags on it and it stopped all of the "Bucking" forward and backwards. On a scale of improvement 1-10? It is a solid 7! The rig is solid except for a slight rear end sway when changing...

    Pardon me if I asked this before but.... Does anyone know for a fact if a 3500 Chevy rear bumper will fit a 3500 GMC rear bumper? Thanks

    Porta Potti. what model ?

    If I can't contain the excrements within a port potti while using it, I sure as hell don't want to be crapping & pissing on a "Target" next to my feet. Those same feet and legs walk right back into my camper. No problems with my Porta Potti Curve except the battery operated flush pump didn't...

    Propane compartment question

    I've had my share of emergency training dealing with chemical spills, etc. Firemen don't go up to RV's on fire with propane tanks inside. They stay at a safe distance and use a fire monitor until the fire is out. THAT is the safe way to deal with the issue at hand.

    Bombsight Build Thread

    Yessir, I did. I spent most of Memorial Day working on it. I used pipe clamps and a 6x6 wood block to straighten the edge and level it. The roof still has a slight crease in it at the front right corner ... but aside from having to be above it to see it, I'm happy it wasn't worse than what it...

    Propane compartment question

    Imho ... the risk of criminal activity and public danger is greater if cabinet is left unlocked. I won't leave the tank connected to the hose but I'll be damned if I keep moving tanks to inside of truck while parked for the day or night.
