RE: How to search for tires?
I ordered truck and ev tires the same way. I go to the dealer ad tell him what and what month and year the tires are made. Can you do that. always was a YES and I did this because I wanted as fresh as possible. Using the tires arrived in late June and because of this I never had a tires issue ever. Bought every 5 years for both truck and trailer. I never went cheap. I felt like I was in control of what I wanted and not on the road taking anything that was available .

RE: 2023 Power Stroke vs 2023 Ram Cummins Towing Challenge
I kinda feel only a few think your statement is true. Because of just a handful seem to really care. retired from rving chevman. 2005 duramax dually is now a garage queen.

RE: Ford vs Chevy vs Ram HD DRW Drag Race
Because all 3 trucks have more power than My 2005 the results mean nothing to me. never had a speed issue just had to have 4 rear tires.

RE: Norcold N611v shuts off on it's own
I never had a norcold. this was next door to me. I remember the issue was caused from sitting and either driving or turn it off for maybe 4 days that information came from a mobile tech. happened a few years ago. the magnet pulled the switch back to on and the red light was on. Meaning it was working.

RE: Norcold N611v shuts off on it's own
I had 3 neighbors one winter that had the norcold problem. The fix was a magnet that pulled the switch to on . I have done this 3 years ago for another neighbor. the tv tech he called wasn't available for a few days but after it was working again I called the tech to let him know what we did. He came unglued at first because he was afraid if yellow was in view that wasn't the proper thing to do. I quickly explained that was not the case as I did know what that meant. The difference from your is your gas lite his didn't. chevman

RE: No more training wheels
I never felt a dually truck was a training vehicle I felt it was the smart way to tow a large fifth. Looks great sitting in our garage now.

RE: Awning misaligned when rolled up?
I had and helped others when there awning rolled up crooked. Pull the awning out.
have another person pull or if electric make the awning go out. Give the arm a push to the correct direction to make it go roll up straight. Very easy to over do. Go back and try again. chevman

RE: Chevrolet 6.6 burning oil
we had the 2001 3500 8.1 chev dually towing a 15K alpenlite. Friend with a 7.3 ford dually with a lighter fifth passed us as were sitting on a long hill wide area waiting for our MH friend to catch up. We waited for enough time that I didn't think we would catch up to our friend. Well we did very quickly and he was so slow. But he loved his truck. chevman.

RE: Ram 6.7 no start
In the old days if the head lights came on and went out as you tried to start the engine it was the battery. cleaning the terminal's sometimes fixed the problem or new battery was the fix. because of my wife's heart issues new batteries were purchased in the later years.

RE: Chevrolet 6.6 burning oil
If an 8.1 isn't burning oil, then it isn't running :) Mine takes a liter every 3000 or 4000 Km
the 2001 8.1 engine we had used a 1/2 qt to 1500 miles when towing a 15K fifthwheel. Not an issue for me. chevman

RE: Ram Cummins/Aisin Failures
I had a 70 2500 ford with the twin I beam front end. compare that to any new truck. I think I know the best would be a newer model of any brand.

RE: Chaning Differental oil ???
Our 05 chev dually with 116000 miles has had the rear diff changed 13 times. so easy to do I decided to overkill as I do on every fluid for this truck. chevman retired from Rving
Lol, I’d love to have the $1000 worth of used oil outta that truck. Probably closer to $700.00. no labor spent a lot more on the overkill fluid changes but with 116K mores it does run awesome. Looks great sitting in our garage. chevman retired from rving. "Don't frown because it is over but smile because it happened"

RE: Ram Cummins/Aisin Failures
Sort of crazy but I just saw Ram hot shot Dually on I-70.
I noticed it was a Hemi and not a Cummins and I thought that was odd?
What was he hauling?
When the ford 6.2 engine came out a couple behind us at our winter resort pulled in with the new gas engine towing a heavy Excell fifth. he told me he was tried of the power stroke engine's having issues. less power but they were so happy to a better engine. hope that turned out ok. chevman retired from rving

RE: Some worry about payload……
My friend had a heavy alpenlite. More weight than our alpenlite. His truck was a 1994 2500 dodge and the tail gate would fall down and he had to buy 3 new front basement doors because of the hole from turning with it down. He always said the bed would spread wider. I felt he was overloaded on the truck. chevman

RE: RAM 3500 with HO 6.7L Cummins SRW
for our combined 22,900 lbs. I didn't have any issue with a 5 sp Allison Duramax awesome truck. Not saying it would be great for a much bigger fifth but I was happy. No issues going down mountians. Now I get to look at it everyday waiting for me to get some fresh air. chevman
