Re: New ball joints needed at 30,000 miles?
goducks10 wrote: Not impossible but kinda rare with those miles if you're running stock tires. I read the Cummins forum and the majority of ball joint issues are guys with larger tires. Got 32,000 on mine and no BJ issues. Got an '06 3500 dually with 112k. Half those miles were with oversized tires. Truck still drives like it did when I bought it. Getting the steering linkage done because of two other recalls.692Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rash of Stolen Trucks in KC
Ravelco is what I have in all of my vehicles,....three pickup trucks, a suburban, and a Kenworth RV hauler. Vehicles, simply will not start, nor run without your plug. The plugs are not universal as well. The plug for my Suburban will not work in any of my other vehicles, and vice versa with the others. Therefore, no one can steal a Revelco plug to use in another vehicle that is required to use one. One of the installers told me that the Ford Superduties are the eases to steal. I forgot why, because it was about 3 years ago when I had them done. I wish I had known about it 10 years ago. I would've saved a ton of money by not buying aftermarket alarms. If I get a chance, I will post a video of how it works.387Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2,000+ Miles, 10,000lb TT, F250 Gasser

And people wonder why RV tires blow out. For the first 4 yrs or so, I used to tow my trailers 80 mph,...maxed out or not, going across Arizona and New Mexico, and 75 in Texas, when they had the day/night speed limits. It didn't matter to me whether they were loaded or not either. I never had any problems with tires. During that time i was running factory tires on my trailers until i needed new ones. It took me one trip to the dunes at 70, to realize how much fuel i was saving. Every since, I don't drive over 70,...and mostly hang around 65.631Views0likes0CommentsRe: Post your tow vehicle pics here

I hitched up today and took it on an interstate run around town. The difference was remarkable! Surprised the towing mpg on the Sierra (6.0L V8) is about 1mpg higher than the Sequoia (4.7 L V8). We weren't in favor of adding new debt, but it was either that or sell the trailer and buy a tent. Nah! Nice truck, but you can't expect much with that 6.0L. It's an engine that just gets you from point A to B,...with nothing exciting about how you got there. While towing, I wouldn't want an 'exciting' ride. I'll take the calm and easy ride. What I meant by "exciting" was things like acceleration,...or just maintaining a decent speed while climbing hills. That was just in reference to a Duramax, since he has a GMC,...which is why I stated point A to B, lol.621Views0likes0CommentsRe: Post your tow vehicle pics here
