    Cummins Question

    I used to believe that the cummins was a better engine, but I am not so sure now, since our trip, we passed every Cummins going up a steep grade with the same size 5th wheel in tow. We are completely stock, with a manual transmission. One Dodge with a lighter 5th wheel, was following us, and he...

    Cummins Question

    It is possible empty on level ground no wind, 2wd, in overdrive, at 50/55 mph. I have a friend that has got 25 mpg in the above situation. He also has a standard cab, and is 86 years old. He loves his Dodge Cummins. I love our PSD. At 50/55 empty in o.d. we got 21 mpg. We have a little over...

    We need stronger penalties for thievery. Steal once, loose one hand, steal twice loose the other hand. I think thievery would come to a screeching halt.

    Ticked off.

    It's all about consideration and taking responsibility for actions that do harm to others and their property. Back in the day,,, we would give people attitude adjustments when needed, and there were a lot less repeat offenders. At one of the campgrounds in Oklahoma, this dumbokie "I think...

    She will be resting until July. Diesel here is a low of $4.90 and a high of $5.20 Regular is $4.20 It's nice to drive the Focus, knowing that it sips the fuel. We have the drags at our local track Saturday, so I think I will take one of the race cars for a spin. It needs the oil...

    Ticked off.

    Today was the first day that I felt good enough to give our truck a good cleaning since our trip. :eek: Two pin size dings in the paint near the grill :rant. I can almost see the truck that slid in front of us, swaying off the pavement and right side trailer wheels into the gravel on the...

    Semi good news.

    Thanks guys. Yes, this year seems to be a bad one for storms. They seem to be non-stop. Tornadoes, hail, and huge storms are hitting all the states from Colorado east. I heard that Arkansas had 38 tornadoes in the month of May. The hail is what I was worried most about. It can destroy a truck...

    What is fuel costing you?

    What is it costing me for diesel now? NOTHING... My truck is resting under the carport until the next time it is needed. Might not be until July/August when it gets hot here, and is cool on the coast. :D

    Semi good news.

    Thanks everyone. Our niece is still having troubles, but we hope the worst is over. The next time we try this trip it will be in the fall. It was unreal how the tornado, wind, hail activity was this month. Even with all that, we had a great trip. Another family member goes in for lung cancer...

    Semi good news.

    Almost to Redding. Close to home. Our truck ran flawlessly, and averaged 13.3 mpg overall. A low of 10.0 with a fierce head wind, to 15.4 with a good tail wind.

    Semi good news.

    Well the niece is out of the hospital for one more time. She is doing fair. We are home now. Besides the storms, food poisoning, etc. we had a good time. We have lots of pictures to share. One of the below was with a Chevy, with about the same size 5th wheel as we had. We were going up a steep...

    Trip is over....

    Thanks guys; I had always thought that the Cummins was more powerful than the Powerstroke.... Well all I can say is none has passed us going up hill, pulling the same size 5er, and we have passed many of them. We are now in Rawlins Wyoming... i am tired so will cut this short. Next stop...

    Trip is over....

    Thanks for the nice words. We are resting in a campground in Chappell, Nebraska Thought that you guys would like to hear about this.... We were cruising down I-80 at 64 mph 1750 rpm with cruise control on in 6th gear, when a Dodge pulling a 5th wheel went by us at about 75 mph. A little...

    Trip is over....

    Thanks everyone; We decided that we will make the trip some other time. Reno to home is 200 miles. Our house sitter has the shingles. With us getting food poisoning, a tornado going 3 miles south of our camp site in Pawhuska when we were there, our house sitter has the shingles, our niece is...

    Trip is over....

    Thanks guys... As we get older, more of the family is having medical problems. Before we left we had discussed what if her 87 year old mother was to get ill, but never thought about our niece (32 years old). We lost two of our close friends to cancer last year. Cancer is a horrible disease.

    Trip is over....

    We got a call that the wife's favorite niece is in the hospital in Reno with Ovarian Cancer. She has been operated on, but does not look good. Wife is in tears. We head for Reno tomorrow. :( Maybe next year. Besides being sick, we have had a great time.

    If you guys do any traveling, you should look into the Utah cwp. They cover more states than any other. My wife has the CA. cwp, and I have the Utah cwp. so we have most of the states covered.
