    Which exhaust, air kit, and programer

    I run a Magnaflow 5" turbo back system on my 6.7 CTD...part number 15986. Running a few programmer devices. Installed an AFE CAI system to help it breath better. Blocking off the EGR really helped for fuel economy. Lots of other tricks but the main mods for fuel economy were to open up the...

    Fraudulent ads?

    I got a similar email to this one when I was checking into a well priced toyhauler. The scammer mentioned that same BS about third party shipping the trailer to us and not to worry about the condition of the trailer. There was more BS that they liked to use Ebay purchase protection so I should...

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    Thank you for your input. I will be emailing you for some pics of your new unit. Good to hear that you are happy with your new purchase. My wife and I both loved the 398 Fusion and thought it would be a great unit to live in. Your truck should tow well if it is anything like mine. What mods...

    Toyota Tundra

    While we were out in the foot hills quading this weekend we saw many Tundras both on the highways towing as well as out on the logging roads. They seemed to be pulling reasonable sized trailers and 5th wheels quite well. We were only around 12 kms off of the pavement this time so we saw lots of...

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    I appreciate your opinion. I am always looking under the units to see what they are made of also. Some are built so that there is nothing hanging down that may get damaged and some look like they would be damaged easily. Does your XLR have the bathroom in one room? My wife tells me that I can...

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    I am sure they are pretty pricey, but they look like they are built well, have lots of standard features and some cool luxury items. We sure liked the floor plans of H396RGR and the H397RGR also. They look like they would be nice to live in. We liked the shower in the garage bathroom. It would...

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    Good to hear that it is working well for you! I like to hear things like it working well for back woods camping because that is where we like to go also. I have been looking at smaller units more and more because it will be easier to get in and out of the places we like to camp/quad/sled. Did...

    Toyota Tundra

    One of my friends has the last body style of Yota pickup. It has a small but high torque V8. He and his wife use it to pull a small 5th wheel travel trailer. It works very well for them. Shortly after he purcahsed it he had a true dual exhaust installed. It sounds very nice and is not too loud...

    5th wheel frame failure, how about tires

    Who uses Lippert frames? Do they use them for toy haulers? I read a few posts on some RV forums where the frame under the garage area started to buckle from a poorly designed suerstructure and frame. Hopefully the manufacturers are learning from past problems and fixing these types of problems...

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    I found a few more toy haulers that offer some nice features for extended vacations. One was a Sunnybrook Titan. Actually all three of their toy haulers we thought would fit our needs/wants. They look like a high end unit with lots of nice standard options. Here is a link to the floor plans. I...

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    My wife and I went out and checked out a few new and used toy haulers and 5th wheel trailers on Wed. There were a few floor plans that we liked. When we went from dealership to dealership and started comparing the units we started to notice that some units were not put together as well as...

    The other Dodge 6.7 thread...

    I believe you are correct but I have heard that when it comes to warranty work they download the stored data in the ECM and then they check it over with a fine comb to see if there are any parameters out of the ordinary. Even the Edge will leave evidence if they decide to look hard enough from...

    No problem! What are you running and what year?

    Polaris quad power loss

    Does it have a lot of hours on it? If it is slowly loosing more and more power as it gets hotter it may need some new rings or possibly a cylinder bore and new piston/rings. It could be improper jetting...if what you are saying is that it runs different at different altitudes. Try doing a...

    The other Dodge 6.7 thread...

    That sucks breaking down out of town. I read that some of the earlier Smarty tunes for the 6.7 used a bit too much timing advance...which contributed to a few head gasket failures. Maybe you were running an earlier tune? The latest tunes are running more conservative timing settings. They have...

    The other Dodge 6.7 thread...

    Was your engine stock when it blew the head gaskets? How is it working now with the ARP studs installed? Sounds like I should invest in a set. Which ones did you install...the 425s or the 625s? Good luck with your truck!

    I got an email back from Dynojet telling me that they do not make anything for the 500 EFI unfortunately. Good customer service though!

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    Thanks for your input to my thread. You have a very nice combination! We were thinking of possibly trying something along those lines. I believe that your idea for practicing a panic stop in a safe place is an excellent idea. I have done this with many different vehicles and vehicle/trailer...

    Best 5th wheel toy hauler for extended vacations?

    Looks excellent! Hopefully you get to use it lots! :beer: My wife and I both liked the floor plan and features of the 305 except we need a bit more garage space. Our sleds are around 11 feet long. Also when we bring more than 2 quads we would need a larger garage. During the past few weeks we...
