    LBZ: Collapsed Hose

    Replacement cap bad? Find a short piece of 3/8" rubber hose, place it on the vent hole in the cap and try blowing through it, you should be able to release the check valve easily. If not cap is still bad.

    Trailer tires, better than "E"

    You would have to go to a Rickson or similar 19.5 to get tires over "E" load, if they fit.. Be prepared to spend some $$$$, but the peace of mind might be worth it.

    Duramax pioneer thread

    I needed a truck to pull a 5th wheel. Talked to my Dodge buddies, they said buy a Dodge but stay away from the junk automatics but I hate maneuvering a 5th wheel with a manual trans and wife wouldn't drive a stick anyway. Ford buddies said get a 6.0 or 6.4 F350, but be prepared to spend lots...

    Where are the best vacation spots you have been?

    Been to the Caribbean many times but I would rather spend my time traveling the San Juan Skyway area, Million Dollar Highway from Durango CO to Montrose CO and places in between like Silverton, Ouray, Red Mountain and Telluride. Lots of Jeep trails and breathtaking scenery, especially when the...

    Low Oil Pressure?

    IIRC, 14 psi @ idle is factory min spec. Oil pressure that's too high isn't always good either....

    Help: Ran unknown time w/ no air filter

    You are probably OK, hopefully the light came on when the filter fell off and you didn't dust your motor. Any dirt that entered the motor is "water under the bridge". Only thing to do now is reattacch the filter, maybe make some kind of clamp or block so it doesn't happen again, get the code...

    Ceramic vs semi metallic pads

    I still have the original factory pads on my truck. About 1/3 of my 90K miles has been towing a 12K 5th wheel through mostly mountain pass driving. They look like they will go another 200K and stop well without any issues. Only thing I do is flush the brake fluid every couple of years. I...

    I may have to sell my DMax...

    If it's not lifted and well optioned you should be able to get $20K+. Right now people are looking for trucks to tow 5th wheels that don't require DEF, don't do regens and aren't rusted or reconstructed.

    Air Filter Life

    So far I haven't had any problems with using stock dry paper filters in the stock airbox, other than making sure I get good quality replacements. I change mine every 10K or so and they haven't started to pull the filter indicator out of the green. I buy OEM or STP brands, tried a NAPA and the...

    Allison getting warm when pulling

    Check the easy stuff first. Make sure the fluid is not above the "hot" full mark or it will foam and cause overheating, I keep mine a little below full when it's hot. If you have an IR non-contact pyro, check input and output temps of the cooler to see if it's clogged. When was filter last...

    2015 back to dealer 1600 miles

    Any chance the exhaust manifold cracked after the pyro was installed? I've seen it happen couple hundred, thousand miles after the manifold is tapped. Just something to check....

    Can't Decide... 5th wheel

    Those are both very nice 5th wheels. They are also heavy. Make sure you have enough truck to tow them. My choice would be the DRV, assuming it is priced good.

    Hello from the Great Northwest

    Welcome from Independence, Oregon. I have a soft spot for the classics, especially '06-07.5 LBZ so I can't tell you much about the newer trucks. If they are anything like the classics as far as reliability, you can't go wrong.

    Airdog 165 failure

    AD 165 running fine for over 2 years. Like any electromechanical device, I'm sure it will eventually die at which time I'll replace the motor or whatever else failed. Mine is pretty quiet.

    Help: Airdog rebuild kits

    I think the AD rebuild kit only contains "O" rings, no motor or parts.
