i recommend PHP, power hungry performance, for tuning related to towing. i would stick to 20 hp, 40 hp max. otherwise, you are a prisoner to watching that EGT gauge.

i have found that trans temps are directly related to RPM's. i have 3 trucks. f350 with 4.10's and the temps barely hit 165 pulling heavy. f550 with 4.88's pulling my 3912 runs at 195 in the hills. f650 with allison 5 speed, 4.88's runs 165 all the time. all these trucks have added coolers...

i think all the trucks are great. i prefer ford. it is all a matter of what you like and need. i like ford looks and the simplicity of them. GM's have too many gadgets and computer crap for me. i also think they are hideous. i have read that the duramax runs great. dodge's look good but are too...

i have put thought into this as well. i have not looked into the plumbing of the propane system. i would imagine that this project would be very simple. seperate two lines, add a T fitting, seal the threads, and run a 10 foot line with the appropiate fitting to adapt to the BBQ. as mentioned...

the rear stablizers are absolute junk. if you read the literature on them, they say to not exceed 400 pounds, which means, touch the ground and not lift. these are stablizers, not levelers. the cost for a replacement gear motor is over $400. the motor is way too slow, under powered. the day...

i feel sorry for you guys. now you will go broke on those long miserable road trips taking all your toys with you. that was my experience at least. if i traded in my trailer for a new one, i would go broke all over again. such a terrible life.

it definetely should not be happening...if in fact it happened, you think heartland would fix the problem with no questions asked, inside or outside of the factory warranty. followed by a confidentiality statement that this problem will not be made public. since in fact you are experiencing...

//heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=12642 i recessed my rear jacks before they got ripped out. they nearly got torn out the first weekend.

electric motors are standard deals. take it off and take it to an electric motor shop. they can match something very similiar, or even better. it is all about mounting and load rating. nothing special at all. manufactors are not smart enough to design their own motors. they buy them from somebody.

its metal. almost anything can be fixed. the only problem i see is that after a repair, it then breaks right next to the repair. it is time to reinforce that section of the frame. in all honesty, that does not look like a big deal to me. you can can take it to a truck repair shop. dump trucks...

you will absolutely love it. they are so nice on the road. i find everything to be very funtional.

it was easy. a bit time consuming because they were all welded in. i used pneumatic cut off tools and electric grinders to get it done. you will also need a big hammer, a ball peen hammer, and a big chisel. it took way longer to remove, then to install.

congrats. you will absolutely love it. on-board controls for the air bags are a must have. go over board on the hitch. you will not have to worry about it. there are enough crazy people driving around to worry about. i put a 30K hitch on my f-550, worry free compared to the 18K hitch i had on my...

i bought a 3912 and used my f-350 to pull it. the truck is all modified. you name it, is has it. i immediately bought a f-550. night and day difference. the f-550 can stop the trailer without the trailer brakes. the f-350 is dependent on the trailer brakes. extremely unsafe. yes a 1 ton can pull...

My jacks were on 4 inch box tubing. I removed the box tubing to allow the jacks to be completely recessed. I discovered this after nearly getting stuck because the jacks sat way too low. Naturally this means the jacks could have been ripped out as well. They were originally welded in, but i...

Dual rears is the only way to go. If its mechanical, it will break. Every truck has problems. I personally believe the 7.3's in the Fords are the only way to go.

I have f-350 2wd, f-550 4wd, and a f-650 with a cummins for work. all seem to get around 10 mpg under almost all loaded conditions. I am 30 going on 70, needless to say i drive extremely conservatively. my f-650 with a 5.9 cummins will get about 12 mpg driving 5 mph below the speed limit. Keep...

i have a 2009 3912 with jensen entertainment. the dvd player works horribly. claims bad discs even with brand new dvds. if i keep trying over and over again, the unit will finally read the disc. after 10 minutes of it trying to read the disc, it almost likes like a cd player that skips as you...

Back to the subject, i think that the 7.3 is the only way to go. I may change my mind once the engines prove themselves, however, that can take 10 years. I have a 99 F-350 heavily modded to pull my 3912. It pulls like you can't imagine. 65 mph up almost any hill. Now that i know all the legal...

i camp where it is a 100 plus so the a/c is hyper critical. i have not tried this yet, but i have considered it. in the event of only a 30 amp hook-up and only 1 a/c, i would block off some of the ducted vents. i have a cyclone 3912 by the way. i will block the vents to the garage area, the...

my spare tire disappeared somewhere. it used to be there...i hope it did not cause a big wreck on the interstate.

My spare tire just fell out and I have no idea where. I sure hope it did not cause a big wreck on the interstate. I know it was there for the first 2 trips. on the 3rd trip I noticed it was gone while walking the dogs. Not a good feeling knowing that I may have caused a wreck and not having a...

I will be 30 on december 5th. proud owner of my first rv, the cyclone 3912.
