Re: Bike rack mounted to 5th wheel bed rails.
Consider a bike pad. 5th wheel rails are fading away as puck systems become the norm so there is very little market for 5th wheel rail accessories. Although as mentioned something could be fabricated by a welder. Taking out your hitch is extreme just to haul bikes. I carry to large heavy Pedego bikes using a bike pad411Views0likes0CommentsRe: What kind of gen should I shop for?
I currently Have Harbor freight Portable 5K dual fuel genset. My prior 5'er had a Built in Onan 5500 LP. Unless you use your genset every trip Go with Lp portable. They don't have the carb and fuel issues that gasoline powered units do. You also don't have to deal with gas cans and spillage If you plan to use genset5 most every trip a built in is 1000 times more convenient that any portable. Push button convenience means zero set up. Zero hauling, zero take down. Zero loading and unloading. Check out RVMP generators if you are interested in a built in alternative to Onan. At this point I have owned built in and portable. For regular use go built in for occasional use portable is OK but will never be as convenient as built in.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsGlow plug replacement Pleasant surprise
To my dismay I recently got a CEL-Check Engine light on my 2019 Duramax dually. My code reader revealed I needed to replace glow plug #7. Took truck into dealer, dealer diagnosed issue themselves and determined I need 2 glow plugs replaced. or so to replace #1 and #7. I was quoted $360.00 to replace 1 plug now I needed 2. Ugh! However there is a really happy ending. Turns both glow plugs were replaced under warranty! GM has some sort of extended warranty that covers the glow plugs up to 150K . I am at 131K. We are quick to bash the dealerships, me included and refer to them as cheats and scoundrels'. I just want to commend GM for extending the warranty and standing behind their products. Too often we only promote bad acts by the dealers in this case I want to be just as quick to share some good news from Chevy and GM.3KViews5likes5CommentsRe: How to reply to a reply

'm not saying the GVW numbers are the most critical parameters known to man. But only RV.net engineers would go as far as to claim they are fabricated. As always, the RV.net mantra is "If the parameters don't work for you or comply to your scenario criticize and ignore them as if they never existed."1.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: I'm curious to know what you would do?

A while back I think you convinced me your buying new regularly was not as crazy as I thought. Nevertheless your cost since 2010 has not been zero. How much have you spent buying your trucks since 2010? Have you simply recirculated the same $50K over that time? I have to agree that since buying a new truck in 2019 my repair cost have been much lower than when I purchased used late model trucks. That said, I will hold onto this 2019 until its worn out!1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Ford 7.3 engine users?
All the comparisons are the 7.3 gasser vs. anything but a modern diesel with an exhaust brake. Compare a 7.3 gasser to the same year diesel that is the relevant equation. All the other comparisons are antiquated. Yea I know you walked to school in 3 feet of snow in your day. …and you don't need four wheel drive. 2 wheel drive and sand bags got you through the blizzard.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Ford 7.3 engine users?

If I were in Texas I may not be an exhaust brake fan either. However the entire country is not flat. There are places where an exhaust brake is a must have and places where it is nice to have. Fortunately we all have options and choices.736Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford 7.3 engine users?
"Where is it compared? When have you used a gas engine, with same displacement, on same hill with same load?" It's kind of a mute point. The exhaust brake has become a standard feature on HD diesels. A feature that works well and is a real difference maker. A feature that HD gassers simply don't have. There is no comparison to be made. We don't need to get into load, displacement or any other factor. The gasser does not have an exhaust brake. Ultimately no exhaust break is a deal breaker and a major shortcoming of a gas engine734Views0likes0Comments
