RE: West Virginia

We really like Chief Logan State Park, one of our favorite places to go.

RE: Miles per day

10 hrs is a long day behind the wheel. We try to keep about a 8 hr target on vacations, we have done over 10 in the past. We are heading to Florida in a couple of months, we normally do one long day, then a short day on a 12 hour trip.

RE: Jayco, what does the dealer know that I don't know?

Dealers work for dealers, not customers. No doubt they would make more money off the Keystone. Why else would they care?

RE: Michelin LTXMS2

I have owned both. Michelin quality, I like the looks of the MS2 better.

RE: duramax temps

Mine runs warmer than the above mentioned. I see 215 while towing quite a bit, it cools back down quick with the fan though.I have not heard the fan since I had the GM fix applied to mine.
They installed a 2006 LBZ air cleaner, which pulls cool air from under the fender vs. hot air from under the hood. I installed the LBZ turbo mouthpiece, which supposedly helps the engine breathe better.
That sounds nice, the fan is loud at times.

RE: 3/4 ton - I did it with an LBZ

That is a good truck, I have several friends with those. FWIW I gave just over 36K for the truck in my signature brand new, amazing how diesel trucks hold value. Private market will pay good money, dealers will pay what the book says their worth.

RE: I-Pad or Samsung tablet

Depends on what you want. I use Apple because my wife and kids all have Apple products. I really do like my IPad Mini, perfect size IMO.

RE: 20 inch tires on F250

What kind of Michelin is on it? I would look at new Michelin MS/2 they have a great mileage warranty.

RE: Ticking Ford 6.7 after oil change

Same thing happens on a Duramax, it goes away after a few miles on that oil. Sometimes they do it more noticeable than others, but always after an oil change. Sounds like a sewing machine, or an arc in a spark plug, no big deal really.

RE: Do You Own a Tractor

We have just under 40 acres to maintain, about 15 of that is flat with our shop in the middle, and house on the end. I currently use, a 60" zero turn mower, 60" finish mower towed behind a four wheeler, Rhino with snow blade and several Stihl power tools. We are getting a new Kobota BX 25D in a week or so, along with a 60" Rotary cut pull behind rough cut deck. Maintaining property is a costly ordeal, but the cool toys that come with it are addictive in a way.

RE: Leveling and chocks

I have used Orange plastic blocks for years, no problem or intent to change. I have owned both X Chock, and Roto Chock, both work as advertised. I think the Roto Chock is better for fifth wheel owners, to hook up while they are between the tires.

RE: Change your shocks!

Put Bilstein 5100's on my truck - makes all the difference over OEM.

RE: Day night shade repair ???

I want to order string and parts to fix my blinds (took blind apart, doesn't look to difficult). I googled both Fix My Blinds and Repair Your Blinds, both seem to sell the same stuff, is one as good as the other for parts? Went to local fabric store, they don't sell this type of string, it seems to be a high strength tightly woven specialty string. Thanks
80# test mono fishing line works great. Lasts longer then you will have the camper.
Monofilament fishing line is the only way to go IMO.

RE: Duramax - Milage

I agree with the slow down. Above 60 you can watch these trucks use the fuel, no need to hand calculate anything. I try to tow at 60 all the time for safety, and economy.

A late model car couldn't be loaded like that, the sheet metal would fold up like a shirt.

Nice truck, you have it dialed in perfect from the looks of the pictures, setting level.
