  1. Dumb question, how high is DUMONT from sea level? I'm trying to set my gen to the proper setting, I want to set it to see if it uses less gas. Onan says the gen runs better if set at the right altitude... :flipoff:

  2. I think the man with the deepest pockets has the fastest rail. But it doesn't mean he can drive it. I have seen some very fast cars, but the driver was no good. HP is a big part of it, but skills makes up a larger part!

  3. I have a 3500 Ram with a 3in Kore lift on 35's, I pull a WW SLC3705 I did not want to flip the axles on my 5'er. I know alot of people flip the axels, but personally I dot not like it. The only thing I had to do was raise my hitch up one notch to make it higher, so when I slide it wouldn't hit the tailgate. With a lift that high you would need to flip the axels on the fithwheel. A good rule of thumb is to put fist on top of fist on your bed rail if it clears the fithwheel you should be alright. Good Luck!

  4. I just read about it on the GD website. I had camped in that area last april, and I saw kids playing by the tracks and I thought to myself I hope no one ever gets hit by a train. When I read that thread my heart sunk. I just want to give my prayers to families and to every that was involved. And I hope I don't spend this next weekend counting how many times the flight for life flies in. BE SAFE, I WANT TO READ THAT EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME THIS WEEKEND.......

  5. I don't care how cold it gets I welcome it. It's the wind that needs to stay away. Remember Turkey day two or three years ago, it was the worst or one of the worst I had ever seen it. They are predicting the Santa Ana winds this weekend but they are becomming less and less as the days go on. It looks to be a great weekend............

  6. I pulled 3 hours home fron San Diego this past weekend with my new fithwheel, I was getting 8 to 9 mpg and was doing 900 to 1100 ETG'S at 27 lbs of boost. the best thing to get is gauges, you can keep a close eye on what your engine is doing. Remember it's not a race to the dunes, slower is sometimes better! Also I belive the bigger tires and the fact it's a mega cab has something to do with it. I know those trucks are heavy.

    The people a Travalon RV in Alpine Ca. are top notch. No hassel, they blew Giant's price away. I got an 09'

  8. I have an 04.5 Dodge Ram, I have heard of the stock intercoolers failing. I have Installed the banks intercooler, I love it! with the six gun, high ram intake and exhaust that puppy hauls, well you Know. I have the stock intercooler put away, I believe it is not plastic at the inlet or output. anyone needing this item, just pm me and will let you have the cooler a hell of a lot cheaper than Dodge........

  9. I don't know about that road, I'm about to buy a new 5th wheel for this next dune season. I sure would hate to see it get rocked my first time out. I don't know how many of you been to the Las Vegas motor speedway, but in the parking lot they have what looks like to be the same thing. But they have a sealent over it whitch seems to work out pretty good. Hopefully they will seal it......

  10. This has been a question of ours for the past few years now. This last dune season has been kind of rough on the Hauler. I just hate when BLM waters the road too much, like on New Years weekend. That nasty sticky mud is hell getting off the truck and trailer. I am very HAPPY about the road going in to the dunes. I hope people respect the road and what you guys are striving for. Good Job!!!!! :laughoff::laughoff:
