RE: Getting close to a TT
Sorry, W/D as in washer dryer hookup.
If you need a rig that can accommodate a washer and dryer, and this one your looking at doesn't have them, I'd find a rig that has the washer / dryer hookups already present.
Running a new electrical line from the distribution panel will be almost impossible and have it look nice.

RE: Probably going to be hanging out in the TT forum more.....
Straight across 2 for 1 trade at the dmv, no tax, new truck!
I've bought a few things from private party sellers in WA over the last few years. I know the trick to not pay sales tax when transferring the title to my name at the DOL. I bought my Nash 17k that way as well as the Arctic Fox 992 I bought in August. I saved $3100 on the 992.

Some people do things and call it art, and are damaging our parks.

RE: Arctic Fox 811 short bed
We're not big fans of the wet bath, it works for a lot of people just not us.
How to overcome the "wet bath" issue.

RE: Arctic Fox 811 short bed
There is no way they'd work on a short bed truck.
Famous last words, but I was talking about what they said they bought, a Mammoth.
Sorry, too many discussion got intermingled here. I didn't notice anyone making mention of buying a Host Mammoth.

RE: 2019 Duramax Regen
duramax will also go to high idle in neutral during a cold start on cold days to help warmup. RPM will go to somewhere between 800-1000 IIRC, grid heater stays on, turbo goes to max backpressure and throttle valve is activated. All this to help warm up.
Doesn't the high idle only engage if you have the setting turn on in the DIC?
On my 2009, elevated idle has to be enabled in the DIC before it engages at the OAT temp that causes it to engage

RE: 2019 Duramax Regen
I keep an eye on my soot level and if I am getting up there and driving more than 30 minutes I will force a regen.
How does a person "force" the truck to regen?
What year is your truck?

AF 11xx series have to be on a long bed. There is no way they'd work on a short bed truck.

RE: marker lights to led marker lights
However some LED brake lights are so bright they make turn signals almost impossible to see depending on the where the turn signals are located w/i the fixture.
Certain years of of the Ford Explorer are like that. And not all the lights are LED.

RE: Inverter installation in my AF992
Part 2 of the inverter installation
Today I should have all remotes and battery monitors installed.
I also scoped out wire routing options and found how easy it will be to run wires for new tank sensors, so that means I will install the See Level II tank monitor system I pulled out of my 811. I do need to order new sensor pads for the tanks. Those were impossible to keep from my 811

RE: 2019 Duramax Regen
My bet is that the programming change of initiating more regens is because our trucks seldom enter into a situation where they can do one long complete regen before we either reach our destination or enter into traffic conditions that interrupt the process.
But when the process is interrupted, it resumes when the truck is driven again.

RE: Anyone ? GM 3.0 diesel
In addition I have to wonder if the oil pump belt is compatable with diesel fuel and the various bio diesel blends.
Is the belt lubricated by engine oil and fuel??

RE: 2019 Duramax Regen
Does the GM let you know when it is doing a regen? Or do you guess based on fuel economy?
As mentioned above, no factory gauge indication will "tell" you it's in regen.
When on a trip, the avg MPG will tank by about 2 mpg during regen. That's another way to tell.
I have an Edge Insight CTS2. I have it set to display when the truck is in regen.
or in drive at a stoplight. rpm is around 800-850 during regen at idle in park, neutral, or in gear.
Ditto
If I pull up to a stop light while mine is in regen, I can tell it's in regen based on the slightly different sound as well as higher RPM.
My truck will regen consistently once per tank of fuel, though it's not an L5P. Mine is an LMM

RE: Should I get a new Tow Vehicle or a Bigger Gas Tank?
You're close enough to the limits of the truck now that I'm betting that you won't like how it handles with the bigger tank full of fuel, and will look to upgrade after spending $2300 on the new tank.
This is exactly my line of thinking too.
Plus, in a a few years you might have the urge to buy a bigger TT, which for sure requires a bigger truck.

RE: Ram 2500 DEF fluid
This thread sure went downhill.
It started with the discussion of DEF in a truck that has used 6 tanks of gas, now it's talking about rolling coal and Honda Civics.
I might as well derail it more by saying my DD is a Subaru Crosstrek with a bunch of lights I added. I'm tempted to put a lift kit on it.
