I think they are but have not really heard much. Also have had the word passed down, the past three years that fuel supplies in Kansas any way are causing a lot of driveability concerns.

I had to have the lift ;pump replaced last week, occurred about normal mileage 65,000 miles, just glad it wasn't the injector pump( was $365 versus $2300).

Well good your not hearing much. I went through 7 lift pumps in my 01 use to carry a spare under the back seat. Just had one go out in my 04.5 now its in the tank so we shall see how long that one lasts

Location: We're fulltimers and have never been physically to our address in Madison SD! Will get there probably when we renew our DL. Try to stay not too warm or cold. Usually go to Mexico in the winter which we love. Will gladly answer ?s about full timing or Mexico.
Cardinal Owners: Have a 2008 35 SB. Had ordered exactly what we wanted and then had to cancel since they changed floorplans. Wanted the W/D in the bathroom, not bedroom. Have some problems, but we love the layout. Have made many modifications including larger windows in small S/O, furniture, cabinet work, 46" TV.

Biodiesel also greatly reduces pollution from the tailpipe. Remember that Rudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on vegetable oil, not petroleum. Maybe it is time to go back?!?

Actually we were just talking about this tonight and I believe it was Peanut oil that the first diesel was made to run on. That would never work today with all the peanut allergies, imagine being behind a truck and having your throat close up from the fumes!
