Re: Trailer demand and prices
Im in Oregon, and local trailers used (1-3 yrs) old are selling like hotcakes. co-worker posted up his 2016 TT for sale for what he paid for it- sold it in 24 hours for more than he asked, as he had numerous people showing up for it, ended up being a "bidding war". another co-worker sold his pop-up (OLD ONE) for $2200, had over 100 calls on it within the hr he posted it. We bought a 2020 Heartland torque T314 in January of 2020. The Selling Dealer called us in september, asking if we wanted to sell it for more than what we paid for it, and "upgrade" to a 2021. problem was it would be 3 months out, 2nd- we were currently living in it due to loss of our home to a fire. It partly depends on where you are, and what your looking for. We travel to BOISE ID, frequently, it appears their RV lots are loaded with RVs of all types. however- do some research, and some of those places had a LOT of complaints, and BAD reviews.402Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel vs gas......................
SORRY been busy at work, and plowing snow at the house to get online for a while.... Spud57 and Hannibal asked about my upgrades, and transmission blowing up. yes, I had to replace the stock torque converter with a BD performance triple clutch unit, and a performance valve body kit. this helped alot, and also made a fuel consumption difference.... LESS!! Unless i get the heavy right foot syndrome :B! upgrades.... tuner, Schnieder performance injectors, cold air intake, New intake manifold elbow, alum. deep trans pan, snow performance methanol injection. (keeps EGT's down)and adds about 40HP...also methanol acts as a catalyst and helps get a fuller burn of the diesel injected. been reliable so far, 120K on the truck as of today. occasionally getting a fault code for open circuit on group 1 of injectors might be a wire or somehting... Happy travels.. YT353Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel vs gas......................
towing/ cargo CAPACITY Gas vs. Diesel, almost no comparison. Diesel wins. Torque. Diesel, Fuel mileage towing- Diesel. power upgrades (within reason of course) probly equal. A previous poster asked why someone with a diesel will add a chip, or programmer? A: same reason as a gas truck, more power, and torque, or mileage. I know that my 07 cummins 350Hp/ 600 tq stock is enough. however, adding additional 275Hp, 300 lbs tq, makes towing a lot easier, probly less wear and tear on the drivetrain, less shifting, and I dont worry about big grades, or not being able to pass someone if I need to. I had a gas truck to tow with, it just is not the same as my diesel. Just my .02 I currently also tow a 51' triple axle gooseneck, good for 24K, again, no problems. I dont recomend doing this with a gas truck.406Views0likes0Comments
