RE: EcoDiesel vs Hemi up IKE
I'm watching these (Eco Diesels) to eventually replace my Ram3500.
Before that happens, they need to add the exhaust brake and I would like to see a better, clutch type cooling fan. If available, I would go for the 3.92 diff.
It looks like they finally have the payload I need though.
I’m a bit surprised to read this; you aren’t thinking about going with a new Cummins? The price of these new diesel half tons isn’t a whole lot less than a new 3500 Cummins.
I don't think that is true unless you are comparing a Limited 1500 vs a SLT 3500.
Huge difference in driving comfort and MPG as well. If I sold my RV, I wouldn't have a 3500.

RE: "We're sorry. An error has Occurred"
I never have issues. Goodsamclub portal, up to date Chrome browser, up to date Win 10 on a Lenovo laptop. Doesn't matter if I'm on my Hughesnet connection or if I use my Verizon hotspot.
Guess you’re lucky. I have trouble with my iPhone on safari. On my Mac on safari or chrome.
The format of this forum is ancient, causing the forum to die a slow death. There are several threads about this problem effecting many people. Really needs to be updated.

RE: Anyone towed with the new Chevy Gasser??
I found this video tonight. Guy bought a 6.0 and was not happy with it pulling 8000lb tt over a pass in CO, and traded for the 2020 gasser, and pulled the same pass.
https://youtu.be/PVd7p91rBjc
He’s claiming 9 MPG pulling a 8000 pound trailer over Rabbit Ears Pass?

RE: Exercising generator and A/C after winterizing question?
Jeeze I didnt realize this. I always used to just use the propane heater to heat until last weekend when i read that most people use a space heater when on shore power to save propane. So i used a small1 on high so 1500watts and worked good. Didnt think that ud have outlet problems frim wiring w just one....WOW. We had it goin overnight too...??
Maybe it depends on your trailer, but I’ve run a space heater on high for years on mine without issue.

RE: Dodge / Chrysler Uconnect Issues
I had some problems with the Uconnect and head unit in my 2014 Grand Cherokee.
When the dealer tried to do an update it actually crashed the head unit. Getting it replaced was a huge pain.
If you end up needing a new head unit there is an individual I found on Facebook that sells them at a fraction of the cost of new.
Good luck.

RE: Error Messages
I still get it. Trying to enter the Tow Vehicles forum. Or even this thread. Works if I click on the new posts. Not the thread topic. https://i.imgur.com/dEoBEzxl.png

RE: Ram overtakes GM
I’ll just say that not buying a 1998 Dodge Cummins because it was assembled in Mexico was a big mistake, that ended up being one of the best pickup trucks of all time
In the past he claimed that it was a 2012 Ram that he wanted until he saw the light of where it was built.
If anyone believes that The Troller ever considers anything but a Ford vehicle, I’ve got some land I’d like to sell them.

RE: I Think I'm Outta Here
I find this forum still worth reading daily.
In contrast the BC RV forum out of British Columbia is practically dead. I read it once or twice in 6 months and often my previous posts are the most recent. BCRV went through two host changes - to Tapatalk - and away from it. That is upsetting. Thank goodness RV.net is stable and independent of for profit hosts. And free of politics.
Let’s keep on encouraging new posters and all those who help others!
I’d argue that the agent format of this forum that causes all the errors mentioned below has a lot to do with the activity (or lack there of) here.

RE: Error Messages
I think error messages have been ongoing with the forum for a LONG time. But, for me, right now they are worse than they have ever been.
I've tried to post a new topic, no love. Tried to post photos. No love. Tried to go directly to certain forums (usually the Tow Vehicle), no love.

RE: 3 Million Cummins for Ram
I’m quite certain that Ram/Cummins is the best selling diesel truck in Canada; I can’t recall where I’ve read that but it’s been more than once.
As for Alberta, I sure have seen a lot of new Cummins trucks around the Edmonton area every time I’ve been there......:B
It took 8 years for Cummins to go from 2000000 engines for Ram to 3000000. I've read that in 2006 production of the Duramax was limited to 200000 units. Ford manufactured 500000 6.7 Powerstrokes in their first 3 years of production. Because so many fewer Cummins engines are being produced vs the other guys I really find it hard to believe Canada is selling more 6.7 Cummins than either of the other two.
I don’t think your numbers are right. For the last several years, RAM has outsold Chevy (and I think GM in general) in the 2500/3500 market.

RE: Ford 6.7L 1050 ft lbs TQ at 1,600 rpm, 475 HP at 2,800 rpm
So 8 minutes is the perfect time. Sorry GM guys your new multi speed truck performs no better than the heavier truck.
Nope not loosing any sleep.
RAM is next to release their 2020. I’m thinking they may bump the TQ again.
Why do you insist that if there isn’t a significant drop in time in the race up Ike (something you and virtually everyone else on here rarely if ever run) the transmission isn’t an improvement? (Other than the fact that whatever you have is the absolute BEST).

RE: Jeep Rubicon Gladiator vs the Rubicon Trail
I might want to do that one time, but that type of off-roading certainly isn't my thing.
That said, I think it is pretty impressive that a bone-stock, direct from the manufacture truck with novice drivers can get through that.

RE: New truck intrest rates
I bought an Expedition Max and Ford offered 0% for 5 years or 1.9% for 6. Taking the financing you sacrificed $1800 in rebates.

RE: Ford 6.7L 1050 ft lbs TQ at 1,600 rpm, 475 HP at 2,800 rpm
A little off topic, but I have to ask. When is enough going to be enough for everyone regarding towing in a class 3 truck? 40k, 50k, 60k? Mine was 30k, but I am wondering what ya'lls is.
I think today’s numbers are really nothing short of silly.
It is really hard for me to believe that a pick up truck can safely and comfortably pull 30,000 + pounds. That is WAY outside of any weight I would ever pull with one.

RE: Ford 6.7L 1050 ft lbs TQ at 1,600 rpm, 475 HP at 2,800 rpm
These are the "good ole days" of trucks.
I wonder how RAM can compete in the HP arena. They are quite a bit behind now. Despite what some who constantly beat the RAM drum think, they need to update their transmission as well. 10 gears > 6.
