RE: Question on charging batteries with Gen
If your 2200 gen is running for 10-11 hours then it must be in Eco mode and the electrical draw is not very much so you should be good.
If you plug it in and the electrical draw takes it out of Eco to full throttle you will get 3-3.5 hours per tank.

RE: Accident with tow vehicle right before big camping trip?
I'd go to Enterprise straight away and rent a Cummins on my dime. Let the insurance company deal with everything else and possibly coving the rental after the fact.

RE: Are the campgrounds full in your area?
We snagged the last spot at a RV resort here for the weekend. Think they have over 200 spots but it is a pretty big area in the hills with lakes and whatnot.

RE: Servicing Wheel Bearings
I've done the rears on the full floating axle when I was changing the shoes a few years ago. Never looked at the fronts in all the years I've had the truck.

RE: What axle do I have?
Just took the drums off my new to me trailer to do the bearings and on the right side/curb side is a tin tag around each axle and also a spray painted stencil on the tubes themselves that say 5,200. Makes sense as they are 12" drums and 6 Lug.

RE: Are truck/trailer rims a weak link?
The shiny rims on my trailer say Made in China and 55psi Max although I put metal valve stems on them when I mounted the goodyears last week. Luckily 55psi works for my gross.

RE: Diesel Engine Runaway - 2005 Cummins
Bobcat tractor on the jobsite had a runaway last week. Clouds of dark exhaust until it quit on its own.
The old 2 stroke diesel I had back in the day had like a knife blade air door in the intake to stop it and beleive there was a factory air kill too.
Diesel runaways do happen.

RE: Adding second AC myself
Buy a Atwood if your concerned about noise. They are the quietest I've ever run across and also the most electrically efficient.

RE: Toyota fake 3/4 ton spotted, overheated
Its hard to haul heavy up hill when you have the thermal capacity of a 2L bottle.
I’m interested in what you mean by this comment.
Just that some smaller trucks don't have the liquid coolant capacity to haul heavy, in hot weather.
Stolen from the net- "Don't overheat it
Vehicles designed for heavy towing that have a towing package from the factory come with a high coolant capacity radiator and sometimes a heavier water pump. When hauling a heavy load on a trailer with a vehicle that is not designed to haul such a load, the engine heats up far beyond the ability of the radiator to cool it down. The result is overheating, blown head gaskets, and cracked or warped cylinder heads. This is not to say that you should never tow a trailer with your vehicle, just find out what the towing capacity is and do not exceed it. On vehicles that tow heavy loads regularly, it’s a good idea to add an auxiliary engine oil cooler to ensure the engine oil in the crankcase is thoroughly cooled, because intense heat causes the oil to break down"
I believe my old tow pig has 7 gallons of coolant in it. I've towed up the 17 mile grade out of the California desert on the way to Las Vegas in 95° air Temps with the AC on. There are 3 water stops along the way for those in need.

RE: where 2 get water for RV before you reach your destination?
I always fill up at home where I know the water is safe and agrees with us. Hate to get sick on the road over something so preventable. When on the road I only fill up at a campground spigot and use my own fresh water hose and filter.
If your tanks fall out because they are full you've got some assembly issues and god knows what other short cuts they took.

RE: Diesel Towing MPG With Ultralight Trailer
7-9 is completely in the EcoBoost towing mpg range. The engine is either in Eco mode or Boost mode. Its one or the other, never the both at the same time and when it is in Boost it is dumping fuel in. I didn't catch the towing speed either but the faster you want to pull that parachute the more boost and more fuel your going to use. A EcoBoost towing at 75 will be getting 7mpg.
