Re: Injectors

He ended up going to a non dealer mechanic who did the job for $4,400 with the injectors themselves being $1,200 of that cost. I run 3 micron Baldwin filters on my truck and if I run waste motor oil it's filtered down to 2 micron before going in the tank. There's no G in Cummins btw ;) To bad he got hosed in injectors with the 3 grand in labor. $1200 barely buys a set of injector cores. I am guessing he has the labor/parts backwards.391Views0likes0CommentsRe: 14,000 off
I was well under invoice on my last vehicle purchase. It was a built to order, so I placed a few "want ads" online through local dealerships. First one that responded with a close to invoice I emailed back with a real low ball offer. They responded with a decent price. Back and forth again and a great price. Never mentioned a trade and was never asked. 2 months later and my Jeep arrives. While signing the paper work, I ask if they want to "buy my old Jeep". After a good 30-45 minutes of them looking it over they come back and give me a price. Same price that CarMax had given me the weekend before and the 14 day guarantee price nicely printed out on a piece of paper. Do you know how easy it is to scan something, manipulate a few numbers and reprint it? "That number is a little low", pull out folded piece of paper. "This is what I was offered last week." My sale to the dealer went up, a bunch!394Views0likes0CommentsRe: Can we travel with fresh tank full? We lose half on the way.

My friend thought it was odd I had this problem until he ran out of water the next day. I think he lost water as well. My guess is that the water spills out through the overflow hoses when we go up and down the hills. Is this normal? Is there anything I could do here? I wonder if the trailer is actually made to travel with the fresh water tank full. Unless you are boon docking in the desert, there is little need to fill the fresh water tank more than a a 1/3 full. A full tank of H20 adds significant weight to tow around. Not the desert, but when I go hunting for a week, I want all the water I can carry and even a couple of 7 gallon jugs.546Views0likes0Comments
