Interesting that 0w-20 oil will be replace by 0w-40 . Part of the modernization of bread and butter engines in some cases involved narrowing oil passages, reducing oil pump size and going to low viscosity oil. Hyundai had to replace over a million of Theta II engines and they are still being...

that type of comment would meet with approval on the "RV fails " site, lots of humorous and snide remarks along with the occasional "I hope everyone is ok" Some of the pics that are posted are hard to believe as far as stupidity and disregard for safety, accidents waiting to happen.

good to know but hope I never get in an uncontrollable sway situation - but I've seen fools out there towing and the trailer is swaying and they just keep on at the same speed. Also have stayed in parked when the winds are to high to be safe.

basically I find towing a major pia and expensive , but I've been in my friends F-250 6.7 powerstroke 5th wheel towing a monster TT and it is smooth towing.

looks like the hitch stayed coupled, this from the RV fails site and apparently happened this past weekend. Seeing how many posts there are in RV fails makes me wonder what % of RVs get into accidents as well as serving as a reminder to tow safely - both in driving style and having the proper...

c'mon grumpaw why leave out changing blinker fluid or greasing the muffler bearings ?

Yeah, let's talk breakins

Guy in my subdivision went from towing a Mini Lite TT to a massive motor home, there is a Maverick Gas station close by but not one of the larger ones that accommodate big rigs, this cheap bastard takes the motor home there for his 1st fillup and proceeds to take out protective railings...

Inspiring

wife recently bought a 2025 ROO Outback XT - it has by far the lamest big center touch screen I ever care to experience along with a ridiculous number of safety alerts and small lighted symbols popping up in the driver's displays. Subaru claims to be be safety focused, however without going...

yes but can he fab a better 10r80 ? wouldn't think it would be that much of a challenge. I'll be the 1st to place an order.

I have to admit that gent who is an amsoil distributor hasn't been overly zealous in promoting amsoil, yrs back when I drove Saabs and was active on a Saab site there was an amsoil distributor - Dick from Church Falls VA who used to aggressively promote amsoil on the Saab site and whenever he...

If there is no power to heat the O2 sensor I don't believe it can produce accurate info to regulate the AF mix - which could possibly be the source of the misfire code - one might assume that the ecu would log misfires on all cylinders but that isn't necessarily always the case. The wide band...

Well if you mostly do shorter trips the mpg probably isn't much a concern, I did over 1200 miles on my recent trip which was 6 days in duration, cut it short by 2 days owing to sub freezing temps , 5 days spent with full hookups but last 2 would have been boondocking so relying on propane to...

what kind of mpgs are you seeing pulling that weight ? I could only manage 10.5 mpg according to the computer so it may have been even lower but was towing in colder temps and lots of inclines, speeds probably averaged 60 mph. Last summer in warmer weather saw 13 to 15 mpg doing similar...

Afraid I don't know the answer - this board generally relies on the airline tech for that type of info. Usually a wide range o2 sensor has 5 or more wires, you might be able to search the internet for info as to which colored wires supply the current to heat the sensor.

I beleive Ford uses a wide range sensor upstream of the cat and it is a heated sensor - if there is no voltage to work the heating element - then the sensor will not function properly

Like the 10r80 it's designed to last for the life of the vehicle. Lots of factors can impact timing chain longevity such as : design, quality of the chain, guides, sprockets, tensioner , oil quality and change interval. Overheating just once or consistently running hot can easily cause a...

yep, if I had to do it over again I'd look for something that is lower, maybe 9' , my NOBO measures 10'6" but also sits 13" above ground - enabling some off road use. Seeing a lot of truck mounted campers of late that can be lowered for travel.
