RE: Just for you Gritdog 30 mph backwards
Since this topic came up the first time I have looked at all my speedometers when backing up. 3 vehicles all analog gauges all work in reverse.
I’m impressed, I don’t even have the nerve to try.

RE: Super duty 10 speed gear ratios
I’m with you on the low range reverse. I’m not near good enough to back a trailer at 30mph! When I back my trailer now, I put my transfer case in low range (front hubs unlocked). Doing it that way, I can just let the clutch out and idle back, no need to touch the clutch, brake or gas pedal.
My wife’s expedition has a 10 speed transmission, I really like it and it doesn’t seem to shift too much. It will skip gears often, and doesn’t go through all the gears. Same with downshifting, it’ll drop a few gears all at once and GO!

RE: The Big Boys have Just Arrived
I’m at 304.000 miles right now. The biggest problem is how loud it is in the cab.

RE: The Big Boys have Just Arrived
I could probably do 40 up the Ike with my 11,000lb fifth wheel. I’m limited by EGTs.

RE: The Big Boys have Just Arrived
I can’t remember the last time I had new truck fever. I have a 2001 Powerstroke with a 6 speed standard, I bet this new motor will tow circles around mine. Maybe in about 5 years I’ll have enough of my pennies saved up to to buy one. I am more excited to see that 7.3 go up the Ike than I am about Christmas.

RE: Auxillary Fuel Tank ?
Did any of the trucks of that year come with a bigger tank? If so you might get a good deal at a junk yard. If not that, I would second the titan suggestion.

RE: All battery/electric bus fleet
Best way to gain knowledge is to get out there are do the impossible. Fear of failure and setbacks holds too many people down in life.

RE: Can my truck tow this?
Hitch up and go. You’ll know after a few tanks of fuel if it will tow it or not. You’ve already spent the money, go enjoy it. If you find you truck isn’t quite up to the task, get a bigger truck, no big deal.

RE: Do you have a bed liner?
I’ve had spray in, fitted rubber bed mats and nothing at all. I prefer nothing, the mat second and my least favorite is the spray in. I like that things slide easier in a metal bed, makes loading and unloading easier. If I don’t want the load to move, I tie it down. I say start with nothing, if you don’t like that try a bed mat, if you don’t like that, try a spray in. You can always add a spray in, kind of hard to take one out.

RE: TV engine oil
Well, I’ll be honest and say I’m lazy, I just throw the bottles in the bin at the oil recycling place. I do keep the remainder of the big bottles for the next oil change, but there is usually a quart or two remaining in those. What kind of oiler do you use? Those are getting less and less used as everyone changes to aerosols.

RE: beaded cab driver seat??
I used one to get some distance between me and a hot vinyl seat. Never did use one on a long drive. Should be cheap enough to give it a try.

RE: New Ford 7.3 V8
A turbo big block 7.3 would require a huge fuel tank, a big fuel line, and some big radiators. The owner would need deep pockets. All that being said, I think my next truck will be a 7.3 f-350. I can’t wait to see one go up the Ike!

RE: 2020 Silverado 1500 Duramax and the Ike
I find these very entertaining. The real question is, when are we going to see the ford 7.3 big block go up the hill with a full load? I can’t wait!

RE: Mileage observations
Very interesting. That’s pretty good mileage. One of these days I’ll learn to slow down.

Play with your tire air pressure some. It makes a big difference in my truck.

RE: New to Me Chevy Tahoe
I agree get the chip to stop the cylinder deactivation. I think range is the name. There is one that increases the cylinder deactivation and one that stops it. Make sure to get the one that stops it.
