The one thing I have noticed is that I target that 1600-1700 rpm range where the duramax is achieving its maximum torgue. For me that is about 105 km/h. For sure if we were hitting lots of hills I am sure this number would drop. I also noticed that once I had around 35000kms on the engine that...

I guess this spring loaded vent must tie into the line below the sink (with the trap) below the cupboards, below the floor? Of course if the spring is not doing its job the gases from below the trap at the sink would still leak through this device. gdog

The numbers I posted are those that the computer on the truck spits out. I have to admit I drive the posted speed limits on flat highways. These trips were completed six times over the past summer and the truck was very consistent the entire time. I have heard that the newer duramax with the...

Thanks for the response. How do you know if it is working properly or not? As well, I guess there is no trap below this point to keep out any gasses that could develop. gdog

An 07 chev duramax classic, stock. 18-20 without fifth wheel. 12-16 with. We pull an 09 3055 Bighorn

We have an 09 3055. I too have found an interesting smell coming from underneath the kitchen sink when we dump the grey. After a little snooping we found what looks to be some sort of vent under the counter a little to the side of the sink. What is that? The smell definitely comes fron there...

Thanks for the quick response. I tried the other speaker and found nothing there. I did reach up with my hand but did not find anything else. Am I looking for a coax? gdog

We have an 09 Bighorn 3055. I am thinking about hooking up a satelite system on the roof. I took the one bedroom speaker out and discovered a few different sets of wires. One set is for the speakers and then there were three other sets of wires. However, no coaxial. Should I find the coax or...

Sorry to hear of the incidents. Out of curiosity, what was the issue causing the truck to faulter? gdog

We have an 09 3055. Two 12 volt deep cycle batteries and a 130 watt sharp solar panel. We have been dry camping for the last month and have not had to use a generator once to charge batteries. In fact, I have noticed that the batteries, after a nights use, are fully charged by noon. I think you...

Fifth wheel is at the lake at this time and we are at home. I will see if I can post a picture when I return from our next trip. Any tricks to posting pictures? gdog

We have an 09 3055 Big Horn. Just yesterday I noticed a small hair line crack above the door on the latch side. This crack is on the inside of the trailer and have no sign of the crack on the outside. The crack runs straight up from the door about 12 inches. I am sure there is probably a stud...

Since you are on the diesel questions what about diesel purchased in Mexico? I have a duramax (07) Lbz engine. Thanks gdog

On the converter there is a second hook up that you can simply put the wire from the controller in to. Make sure you have the polarity correct. The converter is directly below the utility cupboard. For my situation I simply pulled out (carefully) both the AC and DC power panels and the convertor...

Good day We installed a 130 watt panel on the roof beside our bathroom vent (2009 3055 model). I found that when the cap was removed on the vent that the stack can be moved slightly to the left or right by wiggling it. This wiggling allowed me to run the wire down beside the stack instead of...
