RE: Overhead MPG readout vs. hand calculation
FWIW: I don't bother checking our MPG except that once in a great while I'll look at our truck's MPG computer display. It is what it is what it is. I alway's reset one of the truck's trip odometer's at each fillup so that around 325 miles I gotta start looking for the Flying J.

RE: Why do most diesel pickups fall 50% in the first year?

RE: Picking Up New 5ver in the Rain! ;(
Congratulations. FWIW: Please delay your delivery till it's dry or the dealership can do your 4+ hour PDI inside one of their maintenance bay's. This is too big a purchase and too much at stake to take delivery in the rain and not do a complete and thorough PDI. We've putrchased 2 TT's and our current 5'er and none have ever passed our delivery PDI on the first attempt. I can't imagine having to try and conduct a delivery outside in the rain.

RE: 20 amp, 30 amp & 50 amp?
Would I ever need a 50 amp size?
Absolutely. I wish the system would go to 100 amp service. If that ever happens, I'm buying 100 amp service in our coach.

RE: Front bedroom a/c or not?
What's the consensus on needing or not needing the 2nd a/c unit.
Two a/c's should be standard equipment on any 5'er. I'd have 3 a/c's if I could git them!!!

RE: Poor gas mileage
To the original poster "NORTSTAR":
What yer gitting in MPG is all that you can realistically expect; you've gotten that message here by now on that subject I'm sure. No one buy's a diesel truck simply for the small increase in MPG over that of a comparable gasser. You buy a diesel for the ton's of grunt & longevity you git from a diesel. The small betterment in MPG is simply not worth it alone to decide on a diesel over a gasser. As for initial cost of a diesel over a gasser, it's all relative: You pay more for a diesel up front and recoup it at trade in or sell time down the road. Good luck.

RE: 4X4
A 4 X 4 pickup is very light in the rear end so throw some sand bags or some kind of weight in the bed for better traction.
Or hitch up yer 3400 lb pin weight 5'er. That'll do as well!!!:B

Freightliner vs. Spartan Chasis
I looked and didn't see any previous comparison threads but forgive me if this topic is already a beaten horse.
We're beginning the process of shopping for our retirement MH. Can those of you Class A owners who have had expereience with both the Freightliner and Spartan chassis, please give me some insight as to the general concensus of which if either is built better than the other? And their individual serviceability. That is: Which has the better service network as well as individual serviceability when it comes to routine maintenance. I'm not concerned so much about which engine manufacturer choice is best but about the overall chassis in general. Many thanks in advance.

RE: Poor gas mileage
I hear others talk about much better mileage when not towing.
That's generally all it is too; just talk. Your MPG is very normal if not better than most for the same truck, engine and drivetrain. If driving your truck to work isn't financially practical anymore, park it, use it only for towing duties, and buy yourself a Hyundai to drive to work. What you'll save in weekly commuting gas by parking your truck make your Hyundai payment.

RE: 4X4
FWIW: IMHO: A 3/4 or 1 ton truck used for heavy duty towing duties isn't complete unless it's a 4X4. I'd never leave home without a 4X4 and our current 1 ton & previous 3/4 ton truck's have NEVER been off road. However, I've used 4 wheel drive several times over the years in various rainy and slippery situations when towing. When you need it, you need it. You can't use what you don't have. As for fuel economy, who buy's a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel truck used for towing for the great fuel mileage anyway??? Not that it's an issue for you but: If the minimal difference in fuel mileage between a 4X4 & 4X2 is worth having to consider, IMHO, buy a 1/2 ton truck to drive to work, forget about heavy duty towing duties, and stay home.

RE: My first diesel! What kind of MPG's can I expect? DPF?
18 - 20 MPG solo highway at 65 MPH or slower
15 MPG in town if you're careful
11 MPG towing pretty much regardless

RE: 2008 Duramax ride
Can't speak for the 2008's but our stock suspension 2006 1 ton DRW (See Sig) rides like a dream hitched up as well as unhitched. We have absolutely no complaints at all about the ride of our "Pull Dog".
Our D/A has a Flowmaster Muffler, K&N CAI w/ ram intake, and a Predator programmer set to "tow tune". We budget for 10 MPG but we average 11 MPG towing at 65 MPH. Gotten as high as 12.8 and as low as 8.0 mpg.

Let the other three have it "Robert48". There's only about a thousand more out there just like it with no rebuilt title and no past fire issues. Good luck.

RE: Good Deal or Not???
Determine the NADA wholesale price and offer'em $2K less. If they don't take it? Walk. There's only about a 1000 more just like it out there.
