So far , we have had a moderate winter here in s. d. , temps at or a few degrees below 0 for nighttime lows. Just been running #2 fuel with b. g. additive . Was told by my mechanic that #2 with additive good to about zero . Below that he said 30% # 1 per tank with additive good to about 15 below...

Did speedo need to be reclabritated when changed from stock ???

Is there a benefit going up to a 285/70 vs. Stock 265/70 size tire . I know a taller skinny tire is better in snow , I have heard going up a size will slightly help fuel mileage , is this true??

I'm not running a completly 'stock' setup . I believe we have enough polar bears.

S e sd. Madison to be exact

Just fueled up with straight #2 fuel , added 3oz. B g fuel additive . Went 140 miles . 12 above zero . Averaged 20. 4 mpg

Its been to just below 0 a couple of times, single digits most other nights . Running #2 with 4. 2 ounces of b g conditioner per tank that costs about 4. 00 per tank . No gell , and seems run quieter. Just got back from 100 mile roadtrip , got 19. 8 mpg .

Did you sell trans pan ? Am considering buying one .

just read an article in a trade magazine that said ' 6. 7 L engines really come alive and tow well with compound turbochargers ' . is this true ? or should i be happy with stock turbo ? also does twin setup yield better fuel mileage ? wonder what hidden costs come with this setup

Thank you all for your input . Ihad a set of firestone bags on my 1500 , they really worked well . Wasn't sure if they would work as well on a 3/4ton . Sounds like they will . Don't pull my fifth wheel camper daily , but as I said earlier , when I do , I was suprised from the amount of bounce...

I have a fifth wheel 40' toy hauler . 12700lbs empty, probably close to 16000 when loaded . When loaded there is some some squat on rear end , not much , but when going over larger bumps in road there is a fair amount of bounce from rear end . Does anyone use airbags on their rigs?? My mechanic...

I have heard that fuels that have higer cetane ratings aren't needed on cummins motor. It was said that benefits are seen in higher rpm motors . Any truth to that???

Just added. " d. F. C. Plus". Made by. " b g " . It has lubricant , anti gell , and stabilizer . Only 4oz per 34 gal . Hope it does what it says , will keep you posted on results . Heard it is much better than power service.

That is the brand I'm thinking of using , please keep me informed of temp differance . Like the looks , but am looking for temp decrease more than looks . A lot of money if no decrease in temps . Thanks for your responce

I'm new to t. D. R. , so bear if this question has been asked . Does anyone have input on fuel additives . Mechanic at shop where I bought my truck said cummins needs only good quality fuel , no additives . Other brands need them but not cummins. Want engine to live long with much power . Heard...
