I hate joining just to sell something, but i figured id at least get in here and introduce myself. I bought my 00 Dually3500 in a package deal with my 06 5th wheel, and it has served me well, i just need something a bit better suited for eating up long highway miles while pulling upwards of 8 tons. I'm currently in CO but about to embark on our full time RV status to see the country while workcamping! Thanks for the space!

Welcome to the site and Congrats on the new setup. Post some photos when you get a chance. I take it you bought the dually and your trying to sell it now :dunno: Not sure I understand? Or you bought it for the trips your about to take and your just introducing yourself :dunno:

sorry, the "that guy" i was referring to was the one that joins and posts a for sale ad.... lol... I am currently in negotiations with a guy who owns a 99 Ford F350 with a 7.3 for trade plus cash for one of my motorcycles, and im trying to sell the GMC, but i would be happy to post a pic or two!

 

These first three pics were taken directly after our test drive of the package deal.

This was 3 years and almost 100lbs ago.

During our test drive i found out how important it was to check clearances before parking under low branches. The wife is a trooper, she duct taped the crap outta that gouge!!!!!

This pic is right before we left for our first adventure in Texas.

Yep, I absolutely love the truck, but right after i bought it, i hauled it down to TX, and my grandfther allowed me to hook up his powerstroke to my trailer and the difference was night and day. Directly after that I came back to take care of my grandmother, and she has since "left the building" and we need to get back to our plans.

Why not a Dmax? It's hard to beat the GM truck... and coupled with the Dmax and ally trans, thats a tough combination to beat :dunno: I'm personally not a fan of the powerstroke.. but I do like the "looks" of the Ford HD's. I also think the GM truck rides better.

How can you type on this board? i cant even see my cursor :lol:

 

Honestly? lack of knowledge of them, more knowledge of the 7.3, as well as my buddy being a ford mechanic.

What web browser are you using. If IE, switch to Firefox... or the otherway :dunno:

 

I've read others having the same issue and quite frankly not 100 percent sure what they did to fix it... :dunno:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
