diesel

Just got a new 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500HD with the tap on/tap off exhaust brake. I'm pretty sure this question could pertain to any make/model with an exhaust brake. Question is, why WOULDN'T I use it when towing? Thanks in advance.

Hi, We have a 2013 Elkridge 37 Ultimate and are looking to move up to a Ram 3500 Diesel. Most we look at on the lot are 3.73 rear axle ratio and there is an option, if we order, for the 4.10 rear axle ratio. Additionally, the 6.7L Diesel is with a 6 speed auto trans. There is an optional...

FWIW, if there's a Meijers supermarket near you and you've been buying your Diesel Kleen at WalMart, it's a $1.20 cheaper at Meijers in the quart bottle size. I didn't see gallon jugs of it there, however.

Hey guys, I just had a Viper remote starter installed on my wife's car. One of the features of the Viper is that you can set the engine turnoff on a timer. Turn the key off and walk away. The engine will then shut down after a preset time. Good idea for a turbo. Having said that, has...

I own a 2004 F-250 diesel. Recently have started noticing the smell of fresh diesel fuel. Seems to be worse on cold days. Any idea what might be causing it?

Hey all, I've been reading the posts and articles about diesel vs. gas TV's. I need to come up with one in the near future. Not trying to step on anyone's toes, but let me share my diesel thoughts, and get your opinions: Diesel - pro - 25-30% more mpg con - Diesel is consistently 25-30%...

This summer I realized I had one bad battery one my truck. It was not the first time that the batteries fail on this truck, it was 3rd set of batteries. So I did a complete check of the charging system and found out that the 2nd Alternator was bad. So I took the unit to an alternator shop and...

Anyone thought of using a Diesel Onan Genset in the generator prep compartment. I know the weight is a bit more little less then double. More dependable and long lasting. Any thoughts?

We have a great 2004 Dodge 2500; 5.9L diesel,automatic and love it! We are contemplating the purchase of a 3670RL Bighorn. Will this combination work? And anyone have any pros or cons of the 3670RL...say 2008 or newer? We currently pull an older HR AlumiLite 30' @ 10K lbs with no problems. Thanks

I want to carry a fuel filter JUST IN CASE but don't like the prices quoted by my GM dealer. I know there is a law saying that GM cannot void my warranty because I do not use Delco but I want a comparable filter at an improved price. Any suggestions?

We have a 06 F250 Superduty with a 6.0 engine. We are having trouble when starting. The glow plug warms up, but the engine won't turn over on the first attempt. On the second attempt the engine starts with no issue. We've recently changed the oil and filters and oil is at proper level. (I...

If you have not seen the new Garmin nüvi that is available, you should go to the Garmin site & check it out. I purchased the 465T a month ago, and it has been great! It runs in two modes - 'car' and 'truck.' In 'car' mode it operates like any other Garmin. You enter where you want to go, and it...

This is what the new Duramaxs will use. The other diesels will probably use the same technology. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/08/first-look-2011-duramax-diesel-v8-engine.html

I just took delivery of a new Silverado 2500 with Duramax diesel. It's the first diesel vehicle I've ever owned and I have a few stupid questions about fueling on the road. It requires the new ultra low sulfur diesel. Is that pretty much the only thing being sold in the US and Canada or do...

None Hey everyone, We're back with another question. We just traded up on our tow vehicle - went from a 2008 1500 Dodge Big Horn Ram (4.7L V-8) to a 2009 2500 Dodge Ram (Heavy Duty) Quad Cab with a 6.7L Cummins Diesel pulling the load. We hauling a 2010 North Trail (32RED) - loaded weight is...

I got all excited today. I pulled into a Flying J outside of Portland, OR an filled up at $2.02 a gallon. After paying $2.69 in Washington, I thought that I was in paradise. Then they tacked on about 25 cents a gallon "State Road" charge, so my excitement diminished about 12 points. That's a...

Just some info for those of "US" contemplating a new truck in the next couple of years. I read this on a diesel truck web site.....2011 Ford "Scorpion" diesel engine is being road tested now. It's a clean sheet of paper, in-house built 6.7 lt. V-8 (about 405 CI) to replace the Navistar 6.4...

Don't you just know it, when fuel prices drop it will be pretty much too cold for RVing unless one fulltimes in southern climates. Since the DW still works we put the "horn" away for the winter and now fuel prices drop. Usually the prices go up in winter due to the increased need for home...

Looks like prices are going our way............... Bulk delivery: Off Road Red Dye $2.03 Clear #2 $2.29 The clear should be $2.47 actually, they left the .18 calif tax off..... I wonder when the gas stations will "get" the news?

I am looking at a 2006 Ford DRW diesel with 40,000 miles. Any comments on reliability and performance would be appreciated. I will be towing a BH 3670.

I'm considering a F250 2006 with 76,000 miles on it. Is that a lot of miles for a diesel truck? Thanks Marc

Howdy, sounds like a few of you out there have the Edge system, has any one heard of or used this system............. http://www.pmtdiesel.com/_e/GM_Diesel_6_6L/product/GM66PP6/Performance_PackageGM_6_6L_Duramax_Diesel_2004_5_2005_LLY.htm A friend of mine uses it in his GMC and hauls...
