    My new to me 6.5 L TD motorhome

    Lol, there would be no where to escape? Dream come true or living nightmare??? OP, Don't expect this motorhome to be traveling as fast as the modern diesels would. Since you havn't seen it, you havn't driven it. I'd expect it to be big and slow, and maybe even right lane 45-50 climbing large...

    Here is a good reason to let err rip every once in a while

    2nd gear limpmode is a toughy.... I also would carry a code reader with me at all times if my truck did that. Thats just silly.

    01 duramax intermittent transmission problem

    Stock. All Stock. Possibly larger than stock tires. He was also talking about something being messed up with the way his parking lights aren't going off when they usually do out of park or gear ?? I noticed his selection display didn't read the same as his actually PRND31 at times. Somewhere...

    Diesel gelling and cloud points by region

    Have you changed your FSU from the original? I know my replacement FSU had the Gasoline sock, not the proper diesel sock and had no flap to allow the cold diesel. That was enough to run me till stall a few times until I blew air into tank from LP inlet. I know its not about gell/cloud...

    Alternator woes

    His advice is worth 100x what mine is :) I'd even listen to his advice next time around. Either way, if it were me I'd buy a new alternator from either chain no matter what and take it from there. Having the batts load tested is also just as important. A dead one can take out the rest. and the alt.

    AUTOZONE gold alternators are lifetime replacement and can be swapped anywhere, meaning chainwide buy one there, and you can warranty at your house if you have autozones. I have plowed more this year than the last 2 combined, and this is my 2nd plowing season on my AUTOZONE alternator. I have...

    why are we all wasting money on TTY head bolts?

    I think it may have something to do with studs you are only moving the NUT, the threads of the stud are NOT twisting to torque. With TTY or any bolt, the head, and EVERY thread is moving always, causing much less torque???? Or differently spaced torque pressures???
