Ford Introduces New F-53 V8 Engine, Transmission
wildebill308 replied to wildebill308's topic in Engines
Well as we all know mileage is more of a component of weight and wind resistance and driving conditions. (why am I always driving uphill into the wind?) It would be hard to get accurate guestaments till someone builds something to test. Bill -
I don't know, but on my steps the switch inside has at least 2 positions. one where it goes in and out when the door is open/shut and one where it stays out from when the door is first opened till the ignition switch is turned on. See if this helps. https://www.etrailer.com/question-207174.html Bill

What Is Considered Low, Medium, High Generator Usage?
wildebill308 replied to K.William's topic in Buying an RV
That would be strange as all maintenance on Onan(it is an onan right) is based on hours. Could someone taken it off, or loose, and pushed it down in side the cover where the slot is? Bill -
Brett it has been down to 20* last couple of days with wind chills near 5* I am not doing much outside. On the other hand the last average freeze is 3/13 and it is supposed to be 75 Friday and Saturday. Bill

Jim, I don't think the coach manufacturer change the oil pan, they may spec a different pan from Cummins. This is why you need to have your engine serial number when you go to https://quickserve.cummins.com/info/index.html. Quickserve is the same thing your Cummins parts guy looks at. That's why they ask for your engine serial number at the parts counter. Also when looking things up don't be confused lots of information out there is for the "Dodge Cummins". It is not the same engine as used in RV builds. I know from experience the oil filter is a different size thread and the pan is different capacity. Bill

Someone must be bored, reading old post. This was Posted December 28, 2015. But good information. Bill

Hoover Dam and Carlsbad RV Parking
wildebill308 replied to Stvrhoades's question in Destinations/Attractions
Welcome to the forum. Bill -
You could always "calibrate" your dipstick. That will let you know what range you should be looking at. This works better if you change your own oil. If not it will give you your "full" line. If you go to Cummins quickserve you can register your engine serial number and find the correct oil capacity for your engine. I bet it is 16q with filter. https://quickserve.cummins.com/info/index.html When you change the oil you add 12 qt the start the engine to fill the filter. let it set (overnight is best) on a level spot then mark the dipstick. Next add the remaining oil and repeat. Now you know the levels are correct. Bill

http://www.boldtcastle.com/visitorinfo/ Well at least under a minute and a half and who is going to argue with her. I bet she was looking around for more. https://www.amarillo.com/article/20120716/LIFESTYLE/307169681 Bill

Make it easier to use and understand the tire charts
wildebill308 replied to wildebill308's topic in FMCA
Well thank you Dan Ball, for what? This is absolutely positively one of the best examples as to why FMCA is having a hard time growing and maintaining/retaining members. Bill -
It is good to finish a project. Bill

What Is Considered Low, Medium, High Generator Usage?
wildebill308 replied to K.William's topic in Buying an RV
Have you looked on your generator? Yes asCarl said it isn't that hard to add a hour meter. Bill -
Would be an interesting trip. You could stop on the eastern seaboard at The Mystic Seaport Museum. https://www.mysticseaport.org/ Bill

Well Carl, I went back and read what I posted 2 more times. Strangely nowhere did I make that claim. I simply posted a comment back to Wayne, who had just posted about places near him. I simply posted "with links" to a couple interesting areas. Yes I did post to DBenoit about the Big Tex. True it may not be a prime beef steakhouse up to your exacting standards but the steaks are edible and the ambiance is interesting. Some even like the bit where they will pick you up at your campground in one of their vintage limos and take you home again. Bill

No but you could sail your boat all the way. This will get you to Lake Michigan. https://www.imusgeographics.com/great-lakes-to-the-gulf-of-mexicoby-boat From there it is only a "short sail" to the mouth of the Saint Lawrence river and Clayton. Those lakes arn't all that big.😋 Bill

I can't open the pictures. If you go look at the videos I posted and you can search for more you should be able to do it. Bill

That would definitely get them moved off my list of potential coaches. Bill
