This is Gary and Linda just saying hello. We met at Narrows too when you were leaving. Found your channel and will be watching your travels. Have a great trip!
those instruction from the manufacturer are as clear as mud I listened to your explanation a few times and I still didn't get it why don't they just include a spec sheet with the dimensions I couldn't find any online, gees
Good video, enjoyed! The first time I went to Moab was 1985. (on the way to an 8 day river trip in the Grand Canyon). Pizza Hut was their first "fast food" restaurant and had only been there 3 months or so. By 1988 they had a McDonalds. It was a small town, little eating joints, one was real popular, don't remember the name. Only a couple hotels of any size. Camped free along the Colorado River or stayed at Best Western. Was there a couple more times but don't really remember much, get up early go to Arches or Canyonlands to photo or film the sunrise, hike, sleep, repeat, ect. In Dec 2000 I took my parents there. There was an unusual dusting of snow. We stayed at Super 8 and ate at Denny's which was my dads favorite, he loved the Grand Slam breakfast served all day. I'm sure I ate at nicer spots but don't remember. LOL Funny what we remember and what we don't. Didn't really spend much time in the town. Guess I need to go back, though I hated the waterslide monstrocity sp? at the edge of town. Oh they did have a Dairy Cream it seems like but don't remember eating there. Maybe Pizza Hut was their 2nd fast food place. Maybe I'll plan a trip.
Thanks for commenting. Travel memories are always the best. Some of my most memorable and vivid memories as a kid was camping with my family in Tioga Pass in California. Great times.
The trail is always super busy and easy to navigate so you're not going to get lost. There are parts where you are walking exposed rock face so you could slip and hurt yourself but you're not walking on the side of a mountain either. Now all being said it gets incredibly hot here in the summer. If you're not prepared with sunscreen, adequate water, proper footwear and some snacks this hike would be miserable. I wouldn't recommend doing it the middle of the day either, too damn hot, get out there early or wait.
@@ourroadtocamelot Yes, I do have a good multimeter and I did the test and it appears that the capacitor is faulty and I've ordered one already; let's see!! The fan is working well, so I hope the new capacitor will get the compressor going!! Thanks for your reply
It was great meeting you two at Christmas Mountain last week. Hope you get your service work completed to your satisfaction. Enjoy to NE. We’re heading in the opposite direction but hope to see you down the road. Randy and Mary.
It has been awhile and I’m sure things have probably changed since I originally posted this video. I am planning on researching the three states again this coming Fall and creating an update to domicile. As it is, I’m still getting the same benefits I have always had being in South Dakota. I would also suggest to see if anyone else has posted anything more recent and it’s always a good idea to go online and check out what info is important to you in each state. Good luck 👍
Thanks for the video. We went to Zion in 2021. We didn't take the tram because we had Snickers with us. We camped just outside of the park. We drove the road you came in on and back . The scenery is still beautiful.
Love the new hair color Dawn!! Mt Charleston looked beautiful and I will have to check out the Container park. I have never even heard of it but it looks amazing!!!
Diesel pick-ups are doomed if used as a grocery getter (ie short trips). Diesels run best when they run hot (e.g. towing through the mountains). Here’s my understanding applicable to your situation. Modern diesels DPFs ( diesel particulate filter) trap soot. More idling results in more rapid accumulation of soot. Soot consists of mostly tar and some ash. Regen heats up your exhaust temp and adds ammonia water (DEF fluid) helps burn tar away in form of colorless gases and water. A small amount of ash remains in your filter😂. I understand semi-DPFs may need replacement after 250K-500K miles due to ash plugging filter. Truck may be wore out by then. How do I monitor performance? I monitor DPF usage and oil temps. My F350 oil temps run 20+F hotter when I tow @217F. When highway driving not towing, I run at 198F oil temp. Highway speeds without towing @198F is minimum, but not enough to really clean your filter as you noted. Thanks to late Bill Hewitt RIP, l run ArchOil 9500 whenever I add fuel. Good advice to new diesel owners.
DEF has nothing to do with the DPF/Regen. DEF is used to reduce NOX emissions by converting NOX into nitrogen and water. It’s similar to a catalytic converter that converts hydrocarbons to water and CO2
The filter is called a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). It collects soot, and when enough soot is collected, an automatic REGEN starts. In REGEN mode, the soot does NOT get blown out, the soot gets BURNT and turns to ash. There is a guage on your dash that will indicate the % the DPF is plugged. I own a 2019 RAM with the Cummins. My REGEN procedures have kept my DPF clean. Once the DPF is full of ash (not soot), it must be removed and either replaced, or taken to an Authorized Dealer who will bake it in an oven to burn off all the ash. In Canada, it costs at least $650 to have the. DPF burned out
Thanks for the clarification on burnt vs blown. Mine was indicating full and the fluid along with towing allowed the soot to be burnt off. I’m close to a month from having the problem and everything is running great. I will keep a closer eye on the gage from now on.
Yes, but it requires an oven, and then water blown thru at high pressure to clean it out. I don't believe it can be done at home by a DIY'er @@wallheadkdir
I called around to find where repair shops get their filters cleaned (repair shops don’t do it in house) I called the shop that does the cleaning. Took off my filter, easy, and they cooked it clean for $175.
Glad your on the road but dont kid yourself. No liquid magic potion from autozone exists to fix modern emision diesel engines. DPF, Cat converter and DEF aftertreatment issues are a constant repair job at our heavy duty diesel shop. Cummins, Duramax or Power Stroke, doesn't matter, all have problems. It is what it is. Use Stanadyn fuel treatment for the high pressure fuel pump health and watch idle time.
If they only knew about all the soot on those valves , from these modern diesel's . New Government GSA trucks have all emissions deleted for diesel trucks they buy that is very telling
Another solution would’ve been to buy one of the tuners on the market and it would’ve allowed you to do forced regen cycle to clear the filter out for you. The tuners cost a good few shillings but still cheaper than what that dealership wanted.
As a semi truck driver that has to deal with these def filters on the regular for years, do yourself a favor and dont fill your def from the pump at stations, buy the boxed DEF, its more expensive but better quality. Personally, I would just get an older truck, no def systems and and maintenance is easy to do yourself.
It’s really not a difficult hike. But you must be in decent shape to do it. I was there 2 weeks ago and hiked up and down twice, as well as hiked twice up and down the cliff on the back side of the arch, which in some ways was a more difficult hike. Hiking up to Delicate Arch is a complete joy! If you get a little tired, just stop and take a short rest and then continue up. It’s my favorite place to be early in the morning before it gets crowded. I LOVE Delicate Arch.
We wintered in Arizona as well. It would have been nice to meet both of you. I'm surprised we didn't bump into you in Quartzsite. We watched your videos on domiciling in South Dakota, Texas, and Florida. The information was very helpful, so we made South Dakota our domicile state. Thank you for your awesome videos. Michelle and Jim.
