RE: Running from a hurricane with the 5er
All great information. I work a 28/28 schedule and there have been times I was not home and the DW and kids had to fend for themselves. Kids are much older now and they help DW as much as possible but they all have families too. We have almost always tried to get a space for the 5er up North La. for a few months so DW can just leave home and drive to wherever we are set up. Once in the past few years we waited too long and were unable to find a space within a respective distance. That time I told her I told her to leave the 5er and head to safety. The last thing you want to do is be pulling a 5er in bumper to bumper hurricane evac traffic. The 5er can be replaced not a life. Just use your judgement and as others have said LEAVE EARLY.
RE: Plugged Turbo - 6.0 PSD
Sure have heard of it-----Just replaced turbo on truck in sig. Yeah under warranty, but it sure has me wondering. Mech. said "maybe it isn't worked hard enough". I have never babied any of the five diesels I have owned. So the plan is to drive it like I stole it as long as it is in warranty!!!
