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

RE: New Tires

Because the tire you might need on the road to replace the blown tire tells me to buy the new spare then if needed you buy what you can get. chevman

RE: Flushing water heater

You might want to introduce some white vinegar into the tank for a short period to help break up the calcium/lime deposits if they're bad. If you have the time to spare? After we arrived home from 6 months in AZ I used 4 gallons of vinegar and 4 gallons of water to soak in the fresh water tank after running though all the lines with the water tank full. I always wondered if I was the only one doing this. retired from rving Chevman

RE: Toilet leak Around the handle any idea how to replace

Probably the worst high end toilet we have owned for the reason you are asking about. chevman retired from rving.

RE: Filtering Our Diesel Storage Tanks For on Road Use

Good vacation spots don't necessarily mean it's an ideal place to live. Maybe maybe not. Beautiful on a sunny day for sure. chevman

RE: RV wind deflectors do they work we will see

Now, now, he said he didn't want to start a big discussion about his, ahem, 14+ mpg towing a 13,000 lb. trailer. Those overhead consoles can be pretty optimistic. I've seen mine show 99 mpg. :) Yea sorry aboot that. ;) If 14 was possible every truck towing would have one. chevman

RE: Not bad for 11 years and 240,000 miles.

We were coming home from California towing our 35 ft alpenlite fifthwheel North on the Siskiyou's going down a steep area under full control because of the Allison and the 8.1 gas engine and saw coming to pass us was a 1st gen with a camper. wind was blowing also so as it went by us I was thinking it was going to hit us because it was out of control and wandering badly plus big time body roll . Not as big of camper as the posts above. chevman

RE: All 2024 GM HDS get the 10 speed Allison.

So have the new Allison tranny's been bad or good? I have not heard either way. Chevman

RE: All 2024 GM HDS get the 10 speed Allison.

and the present 2005 duramax dually. chevman So Larry did you buy a park model in AZ or have you hung up your snowbird hat? Like you my wife is failing. NO more rving. Not sad but happy to have less stress and being home is good. chevman

RE: All 2024 GM HDS get the 10 speed Allison.

Let's make this perfectly CLEAR. The trans in the current GM's are only "BRANDED ALLISON". Makes me all warm and fuzzy. RAM has a Chrysler trans and AISIN MD trans. Ford has its own HD trans. No smoke and mirrors with either of them. I have owned many GM trannies. Never had any issues with any of them. 2 allisons and still have one with no issues. Just my experience for many years. chevman I am assuming yours is actually built by Allison? To be clear I am not saying anything bad about the current GM trans it's just a bit deceiving. yes 2001 8.1 3500 dually and the present 2005 duramax dually. Had two turbo 400's one for the 454 and the surprise was the 1986 light 1/2 ton with the V-6 and 2.53 rear gear. Kinda forgot if the 2.53 is correct but something like that and not a 3.73 for sure. Always seemed to be odd but it worked ok. chevman

RE: 2023 Ford 40k towing, 500hp, 1200tq

Not if diesel isn't available. No towing maybe. chevman Larry, some days I wish I was your age so I could get up and give zero forks about what happens to anything with the economy or worldwide! Hopefully the mid terms next week will restore a bit of normalcy in coming months. Right now, if Sleepy/Sniffy Joe won't buy erl from the Ruskys and doesn't quit selling our oil all while being anti pertroleum, chit could get pretty chort. We are both heading for 82 but if my wife's health hadn't gone south we would be south to AZ before Sept ended. I really do care for what others need to have a happy life. Maybe it will happen next week. chevman The Nor Easters who still have their stinky oil burners in their homes are already down for about a 30% price hike to keep the frost in the freezer and the faucets thawed this winter....sad really, for people of power to intentionally try to tank their own economy... But what do I know...took the dear wife for a followup appointment today from yet another major surgery and the PA had some funky blue haired wig on for Halloween. That's cool and in the spirit. Walked out into the hall afters and immediately offended a couple woke teenagers that only answered to "they or their" AND their mother when I said "Cool Halloween Costumes" Apparently the Orange and Pink haired "theys" weren't dressed for Halloween and the boy's t!ts were real! :E

RE: 2023 Ram Reveal

My answer to why if you won't buy one is I like to know what other brands are doing and why they are doing it. I never know enough of anything. chevman
