The free market argument only works if we actually have a free market. In a true 'free market' you and I could buy some land say in ANWR, build a new refinery somewhere convenient, start pumping oil and selling it for less then Texaco, Shell and the rest. Our Business plan would go after volume...

Interesting article: King Kong

I'm not asking this to be a smart*** but has anyone ever worn out a Cummins? I've been reading this board for over a year and I can't remember a post dealing with engine failure that wasn't related to injectors sticking open, some kind of manufacturing defect or plane old abuse. Seems to me...

I have a 20A fuse in the fuse box I think it's number 19?? It's labeled Trailer Battery. (I have the tow package with the round 7-pin connector) Good Luck

klenger, Thanks for the advice. I mounted the plug in the same place that you mounted your 7 pin connector and hooked up to the 'trailer battery' wire. Now I have a 12v plug with continues power and a 20 amp fuse. Oo. Thanks!

Has anybody installed a 12v receptacle in the bed? If so where did you tap in to get power? I'm looking for continues power not off the key. Thanks, Roger

Stock 2004. 5 towing 7000# boat for a GCW of 14,440#. Pulls 6% grade at 60MPH in 3rd gear (Tow/Haul enabled) at WOT turning about 2500 RPMs. Does this sound about right performance wise? No EGT gauge, any problem pulling like that for 3 to 5 miles? Thanks, Roger

I have been using Mobil 1 in all of my vehicles with good results for the last ~10 years. I use it for the following three reasons: 1. Added protection at high temperatures (I live near Phoenix) 2. Extended drain interval (I used to change at 3000 now run to 5000) 3. Longer engine life (I...

I want to keep accurate records of my Fuel and Maintenance costs. Does anybody have a nice Spreadsheet that they would be willing to share? I am also interested in seeing some real numbers for Fuel usage/mileage. Thanks, Roger

Just curious but unless you tow in 4 wheel drive why would you use the heavier oil in the front?

I just took delivery of my new 4. 5 QC SWB 2500 last week and I'm so glad I found this site. I've been reading and learning everything that I can about this new beast. This is my first diesel and I am wondering where I should go to buy fuel. Is it okay to buy from a reputable 'Gas' station...
