Re: 6.7 Cummins Engine Oil Temperature?
Brisk wrote: What oil temps are you guys seeing while pulling long grades?? Mine runs a bit higher than water/coolant temp.... 195 water means about 205-208 oil temp. I have noticed that there is a direct relationship between turbo boost and oil temp (which makes sense, but I never thought about it before)..... Under normal circumstances on flat ground i'll pull about 4-8 psi boost and the oil temps will be in the 205-208 I mentioned above.. However, if there's a headwind/sidewind and I'm using 20 psi to maintain highway speed, I'll see oil temps in the 220-235 range. Without a corresponding rise in coolant temp.387Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pull-Along vs.5th Wheel

And I can go to any dealership of nearly any brand and buy a 40-41-42' 5er. In other words.... Not when they don't exist.424Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pulling A Train
Bionic Man wrote: Welcome to the forum. You have stumbled onto one of the more controversial topics here - that of double tow. I would advise you to do some specific research on your own, as you have already, and will continue to, get bad information here. Most states allow double tow. East and West coast states are the exception. Very few have a requirement that the first trailer be a 5er (although I wouldn't tandem tow with a bumper pull). Each state sets their own length limit, although in my experience, I have never seen nor heard 1st hand experience of it actually being enforced. I have double towed for about 15 years now. With a lighter boat, and a properly set up hitch on the back of the trailer, you are unlikely to have problems. A few photos of mine over the years. I still tandem tow my fishing boat, but we have moved on from the ATVs, and the new ski boat is too big to tow behind the 5 My experience very similar. Been doing so with a few different configurations. From 37' toy hauler with jetskis.... To 40' traditional 5er with utility trailer and SXS/ATV. Over length. 74' long. Limit in my state (OK) for a power unit and single towed unit is 70'. Limit for a power unit and two towed units is 65'. Go figure. Safety is not specific to (well maintained) equipment. Safety is an act or state of being.273Views0likes0Comments
