Re: Diesel Engine heater block-Yes or No
If I turn the block heater on an hour before starting our Cat engine (30*) it starts right up and purrrs. I've started it up when the temp is 35* without using the block heater (I forgot to turn it on before leaving) and it took about 3-4 minutes for the engine heater alarm to quit going off and on as well as the "Wait to Start" light to quite blinking off and on.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: K & N filter change

No dust past the filters. They work for me! But if I was the OP and after reading 10 pages of negative responses I'd be running to NAPA for the paper to. So you are running oil analyst regularly and have verified that your K&N filters are not letting dust by? That goes for everyone. Show us your oil analyst reports. Or is your finger better than a lab on checking on this? Chris Why in the world would I run an oil analysis....NOW....on a 13 year old truck with 272,000 miles that runs like the day I bought it???????? And as for the Ram people not honoring their warranty if you have a K&N filter.........The Dodge dealer, where I bought the truck, sold it to me and the Jeep dealer where we got the Jeep sold us the K&N before we drove it off the lot. As for my finger test....it has served me just fine over my lifetime. The rest of this mumbojumbo is just that.

We bought our coach when it was 10 years old. We went to the RV shows etc. before purchasing ours and I noticed that most of the working parts, water pump, refers, toilets, hot water tanks etc. were of the same brand we had and really nothing had changed. The previous owner had just repainted and put new Michelins on and the Cat engine only had 77,000 miles on her. I tend to keep rigs for a very long time and I see no reason this coach won't last as long as I keep kicking. She is stored indoors during the winter along with all the other toys.216Views0likes0CommentsRe: Thoughts on this DP
NADA says $66,000 Average Retail, Low retail is $54,800. Didn't use any add-ons (the add-ons are only to be used if not included in the basic coach). Low retail is where you want to be IMOP. If you like it and it checks out good you can always wiggle up with the above numbers in mind.485Views0likes0Comments
