ive been surfing RV.NET for some time now, and today i think i may cancel my subscription. ive had it! it appears, one cant answere questions or give honest opinions or feeling on these other forums without being ridiculed and im seeing more of this. first i have noticed that if you dont have a 1ton, dually, diesel you dont have a real truck (no matter what size your camper is ). second, i have noticed no matter how much research you do, the trucks owner manual is incorrect and the forum members are the authority when it comes to your trucks towing ability. and lastly, if you dont agree with the majority its not worth posting a comment. im not saying the forum hasnt helped me at all, but you have to be able to siff through the BS yourself or you could find yourself buying a lot of crap you dont need, and still with questions to be answered.

I agree it's pretty bad on that board. Some of the stupid questions are just too funny though..... I can't give it up...... :smash:

 

Example: My unit has two outlets on the side, one for single grey water tank, and one for Black and Grey tandem. How do you connect both to sewer? :devil:

I see that all the time at trailerlife.com. If you don't have a $50000 tow vehicle you're not qualified to play. There's some knowledgable folks there but it has it's share of idiots as well.

 

I love to see diesel duallys pulling jet skis or pop-up campers! Thats the mentality alot of these guys have! :devil:

Isn't bigger always better?? :thumbs:  :sigh:  :loser:

 

 

 

 

 

Of course size matters. That is why when I am not driving my truck, I am driving this "rig" :)

Of course, we will always give the little guys a ride if they ask nicely :lol::lol::D

Yep, I agree about RV.net. Some of those folks are real experts. Especially like the posts that ask "how do I get from Florida to Denver?" (use a frigging map, or at least mapquest, duhhh) and then you have some xpert tell how wonderful Estes Park is because he lived there for a few years, but now lives in Arizona...... ok, I'm off my soapbox.

 

Besides, they would NEVER admit that my Tahoe can tow a 27' TT. :flag: That whole rule of thumb BS.

 

:fume::cool:

 

Cheers, Doug

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
