    3.0 Baby Duramax

    The 2500 didnt get blown around as easy as the 1500 did. But the 2500 didnt correct for it either. We go out west 3-5 trips a winter and have been in some 60+mph crosswinds multiple times. There is no way that 1500 would have been safe in that. The 2500 was scary in that. I didnt notice anyway...

    3.0 Baby Duramax

    Overall the trip from Denver to my house, near Madison, was 12.6mpg. The first 100 or so miles were in snowstorm so 45-55mph and EVIC said 13.7mpg. The rest was on dry roads, I-80, and cruise was set at 75mph most of the way. It did use IMO, a lot of DEF fluid. Apparently it’s a 5 gallon DEF...

    3.0 Baby Duramax

    Not positive, but pretty confident that it applies the brakes on whichever wheel it needs to, to stop the sway and straighten out the truck. It was pretty impressive. A big gust would hit the trailer, the truck would get pushed. Usually you have to compensate or “fight” it, right? With this...

    3.0 Baby Duramax

    I just got back from Denver driving a 21 GMC with a 3.0 baby max. Was pulling a 29ft trailer with 3 sleds in it. My first time driving a 1/2 ton diesel. I gotta say I was very impressed. Excellent power and IMO very respectable mpg. To be honest, I was very impressed with the truck overall...

    Does Anybody have the real story on Cell coverage in Northern WI and the Yoop?

    I switched to Att a couple years ago. It’s been as good or better than Verizon in almost every place Ive been, including out west. Maybe not deal breaking better for weekend trips to different locations, but maybe if you have a cabin somewhere. We switched because it was as good, but mainly...

    Does Anybody have the real story on Cell coverage in Northern WI and the Yoop?

    Porting numbers is easy and done by the carrier. They have to if you want to keep your number. Switching phones, or taking your phone with you to new carrier is even easier. You can do it yourself, or have retail store do it for you. Don’t let those be reasons why you dont switch, if that what...

    Canada Fishing is Back

    Over by Timmins Ontario. It’s a fly in lake, only 2 cabins (same outfitter owns both) and 18 miles long. I’ve been there a handful of other times hunting and fishing. The outfitter owners are friends. Took guns along for bears but was a little early yet. They were on berries yet. Honestly you...

    To cover or not to cover?

    I have always left them uncovered, slides in, plugged in. I blow out waterlines with air and dump some rv antifreeze in drains and toilet. I put rv antifreeze in the lines one time. I could taste that crap all next season. Never again. Campers were always left in NE WI over winter. Though I...

    Goin-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park (Montana) to not be fully open by July 4 because of heavy snows.

    We were in the four corners region a couple weeks ago and many off road mountain passes we couldn’t do because of snow yet. Down in SW CO. We were able to do some but couldn’t get much over 12,000 ft. Kids got to play in some snow in June. 100* in the desert, 45* up the mountain. Wasn’t much...

    Gas

    Lol… We got back from a 4500 mile trip a couple weeks ago. Took the Jeep Wrangler. Shaped like a brick, lifted up with 35” tires. I averaged 13-15 mpg. Worst tank was 11 mpg. Turbo engine likes premium gas. I didn’t keep track of total fuel costs, but I believe it was around $1600-$1700. Was...

    Outdoor camera

    I have 3 Blink cameras. One by front door, one by back door, and an interior camera. All in for under $200. No subscription, though you can for their cloud storage (or use a sd card for storage, which is what I do). Can talk 2 way through cameras, has night vision. Can access cameras from...

    The Price of Having Fun

    Leaving this weekend for the Rockies for a week. Not to excited about $5/gal diesel at 10-12 mpg, but it is what it is. The fuel for the sled is minor compared to the truck.

    Holy Vilas Traffic!

    I can't believe that place is still around. I was there a few times about 17 years ago. Thats all I have to say. Oh and she had silk panties back then too.
