Bad DEF = $$$

I just had to replace the Def tank, pump and heater in my F350 because (I think) I topped off my DEF tank with about 1/2 gallon of DEF that was a year old. The technician believes the old DEF crystallized and froze the DEF pump, increasing pressure within the DEF tank and resulting in the tank ruptu...

Re: Website for Fuel Prices

This will come in handy when I can’t locate a diesel station with my TSD card. I looked up Durango and Cortez…not much cheap diesel there (realizing this statement is relative, not being from Calif,).

Re: Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel hitch?

Randy, I did go ahead a change to Andersen hitch in May 2022, selling my SuperGlide. I have had no problems and pulled about 5000 miles over 55 days. I am very satisfied with it and really enjoy having my truck bed back when not towing. My observations are (note… my TV is a F350 Std Bed, SRW) Pros: ...

Re: South Dakota Domicile Health Insurance Issues.

It appears this only affects those RVers that use ACA for health insurance. Those on Medicare or other healthcare plans are not mentioned.

Installed Timbrens on my F350

Yesterday I installed Timbren Bump Stops on my F350. One side was rusted on and had to be cut off but even then the whole job took 30 minutes. My neighbor helped hold it, permitting me to start the new bolts easier. My F350 is 9 yrs old and it seemed to be squatting a bit when hitched up. Timbrens a...

Re: It was time

Dave, what year was your old truck and how many miles did it have on it?

Love the red color of your new truck.

Re: Pony Express RV Resort- Salt Lake City

For those who want to stay in the SLC area we have had great luck staying at Springville/Provo KOA. Off the interstate enough to limit noise and easy pull throughs. Generally we are not KOA fans but this works for us when transiting the SLC area
