    Air filter and exhaust system for Ford F-250

    I agree with the post by JNPHOBE... Air in, air out... I purchased the MBRP turbo back exhaust w/o the cat, and added the ACDelco "High Velocity" air filter. I recently ran across an unbiased lab test that showed this filter outperformed all the after market filters, both in airflow and...

    Warning

    Yep, I was on that road about two months ago towing the trailer... I thought the same thing, this has to be the worst road I have ever driven on. I kept waiting for a good patch, but in the two hours I was on it I never found one. Bad all the way from Warner to OKC, where I turned north on the 35...

    Message to all who might be considering a Big Horn

Shortly after we took delivery I was scheduled to work in Texas for (4) weeks. usually I would stay in a hotel, however this time I thought I would take the Horn and really put it to the test. Living in full time for (1) month... The trip down was...

    Oil change- when do you do it?

    I did at one time follow the DIC, but now I change my oil about every 4, 000 to 5,000 miles just to be on the safe side - filter too... Swaped out my K & N for an ACDelco high volumn air filter... I came across an independant lab test that compared several brands. It showed the AC actually...

    Will my truck be a good match for this RV?

    I had the air bags before we purchased the 3400. I got them to level out the load of our old trailer, which did was about 3,000 pound lighter than the 3400... Having said that, my truck seems to be handling the trailer just fine. It actually tows better than our old trailer. The air bags...

    Has anybody seen any Bighorn anywhere???

    There's one in Pflugerville Texas (La Hacienda RV Resort)... Spending a month in mine while working here... I have owned mine for about 2 months now, and apart from a few cosmetic issues everything is working great... The Big Horn definitely lives up to its reputation...

    I mis-calculated the lenght!!!

    Sorry to hear about your RV... I know the feeling well. On our last vacation with our old 5ver I was pulling out of my own RV parking spot off the back of the house and hooked the chain link gate post. Bent my rear stablizer, and scratched up the side of my RV pretty bad, not to mention the...

    Converting Duramax 2500HD to a Dually

    Thanks everyone for the responses... Still LOL Alan... That is exactly what I was trying to avoid... You must know my wife... I already have the airbags, and they work very well at leveling the load... However, I have read in some posts that the difference between the 2500 and the 3500 is...

    Converting Duramax 2500HD to a Dually

    Has anyone converted a 2500HD, CC, 4x4, short bed into a dually? I would like the increased pin weight and stability without having to buy a new truck... Is this possible at a "reasonable" cost?

    Cyclone, Short Bed and Non-Slider Hitch

    Had a slider with my previous trailer (Gulfstream)... It worked good, but all the movement and clunking noise made me unconfortable... When we bought our Big Horn one of the deciding factors was the 88 degree turning radius, so I changed the hitch to a standard model... Glad I did: The front cap...

    2009 Big Horn 3400RL

    First trip with our new Big Horn... Traded up from a Gulfstream and cant believe the overall difference. The BH weights 3000lbs more, and is 3 foot longer with a higher profile yet it towed so much better than our old unit... The gas mileage even improved... I have short bed truck and the front...

    A/C Problem With New Big Horn....

    Thanks Bob, I checked and it seemed to be turned and seated... I have no way of checking the power and voltage coming from the pedestal... Leaving tomorow, guess I will see if the A/C works at home before taking it in for service... Everything else worked great for a first trip out... Got a fan...

    Thanks for the quick replies... I checked the 12 volt fuse and it appears to be OK... I will do a voltage check in the morning. Am I checking the voltage coming in from the pedestal?

    Slam Doors on a 2009 3400RL?

    Thanks for the reply... We are buying a 2009, and the only thing I was going to miss was the new doors... Happy to hear I can probably get them down the road... Hadn't heard about any problems with the new doors... Maybe i will wait as well...
