    cleaning black tank on tt

    I just tried the ice thing on my black tank. Two 10 pound bags of ice, and 120 miles of agitation later, I drained, and flushed what should have been a relatively clean tank. I was amazed at all the... ... . um, stuff... ..... that came out. On the chemical front I use the orange stuff they sell...

    Diesel in Eastern Colorado?

    I am thinking of taking 287/385 North through Colorado this year on the way to Sturgis, SD. It looks like it would be a easier way to go than I-25, but I am a little concerned about finding diesel along the way. Any truck stops, or similar stations along the 287/385 route?

    Auto or 6 speed to tow with?

    I'm happy so far with auto transmission. I'm towing a 24ft travel trailer (10k max), and it does quite well with it. I'm running 3. 73 gears and it will lug a bit in the mountains. I would probably go with 4. 10 gears if I were to do it again though. I have no doubt that the 6speeds are more...

Earlier this week I found myself towing my 24ft Thor toybox (about 8k as loaded)into a headwind between Clayton, NM and Trinidad, NM. It really...

    Why would ya go with anything but digital gauges?????????

    While I have no problem with analog gauges at all, I would like several gauge readings placed in the smallest package possible. It would appear that the digital gauges are going to be able to do that (EGT, Water, transmission). Do any of the various digital gauges work (accuracy) better than the...

    Tailgate load limits

    Anyone know how much weight the tailgate on a '03 2500 4WD can take? I am about to buy a motorcycle loading ramp that attaches to edge of the tailgate. The ramp itself will weigh around 100 lbs, and will be loading about 1000 lbs worth of bike and rider. I don't relish the idea of getting half...
