    Hi Marion
    We're in the market to purchase a RAM 2500 with the 6.7 diesel for our bumper pull. I've been doing a lot of research on 6.7 maintenance so I will have a pretty good idea on what to expect as a diesel owner. I've been watching few of your videos and had to comment on the Ridgid tool you used as a filter wrench. I would have never thought to use that strap wrench for a filter wrench. Back in the day I had one in my tool box for plasti-bond conduit. I gave it away thinking I would never need it again, LOL. I see now once I make the RAM 2500 purchase I'll go ahead and grab a strap wrench too.
    Thanks for the videos, I find them very useful.

    Hallo Marion, different topic going back to tire replacement. Do you think it's ok to take off the four wheels from my dual axle travel trailer and temporarily put on my two spares ( thus having only one on each side) while I bring the four old ones to the shop for mount and balance new ones? Basically is it safe for the trailer to be supported and kept parked stationary temporarily by only two wheels instead of all four. Also, the tires I have on it now are the original ones (made in 2014/2015) that came with my 2015 Keystone Outback that have no more than five thousand miles on them. They still have very good tread and minimal if any cracks on the sidewalls. Their brand is called Trialer King. Do I even need to replace them now or should I just wait till I put another five or ten thousand miles and they get older. Thanks again, best, Happy and safe RVing. 🌞

    • @MarionBlair
      @MarionBlair  3 роки тому +2

      I would replace them. I've seen blow outs take out hydraulic and electrical lines and even saw one go thru the floor. I think I talked about this in my Maxxis video. Trailer King and all the China bombs are ok as long as you keep the tire pressure at the max on the side of the tire. If you've got enough block, you can block up the both sides and let the wheels hang, it won't hurt them as long as you are on the frame. I can jack up both wheels with a bottle jack from the middle of the tires and block it there with one set of blocks. Make sure the balance the new on as a lot of dealers don't do it unless you tell them.

      @@MarionBlair Thanks much for your fast response. So to be on the safe side you're recommending i put new tires on even though they look fine? I DEFINITELY believe in safety always first. I found a four pack on Amazon for $312. I'll put the link below. But you probably still advise getting Maxxis? Any other top brand you can recommend? I heard Sailuns, Carlile Radial Trail HD, Goodyear Endurance are excellent. The following link is a recent UA-cam list of the top five trailer tires. ua-cam.com/video/Z8Q7vOZd6n4/v-deo.html I'm wondering if trailer tires are rated for how many miles they will wear like tow vehicle tires are ie. 30,000 , 40,000 etc.? Thanks www.amazon.com/Premium-WINDA-Trailer-Tires-Featured/dp/B01MD2C4QI Here is a very interesting UA-cam link by BigTruckBigRV which if they will fit my 15" rims I'm very interested in. ua-cam.com/video/RZfVmnnRkjE/v-deo.html BigTruckBigRV put this video out. He says they don't come in the size I have on now which is ST 225/75 R15. I need to know if the size they come in will fit my aluminium rims and what the differences will be. They are the Goodyear Cargo G26. They are only D rated and come ST 225/70 R15 which, I think will bring the trailer a bit lower. Tough to find the truth. Thanks

    First time I changed my rear fuel filter I got reminded about the effects of vacuum... when fuel stopped coming out of the petcock valve I stupidly enough closed it and cranked loose the filter.

    A little off topic, I watched your videos about the foam and baffle inside the air intake, and given all the research and work you put in, I won't be putting a CAI in, I am curious to know though what your thoughts are on the drop in filters vs the oem filters inside the oem air box, are the drop in filters really that beneficial, or with the increased air flow, are they just allowing more particulate to pass through to the turbo.

    • @MarionBlair

I cant seem to find the radiator drain plug and have heard conflicting info as to wether my truck even has one, i also cant find a tutorial on how to bleed the air from the system and there is no radiator cap so I’m wondering if you fill from the coolant reservoir if that fills the radiator?

      Bought filters from dealer, compared them to eBay filters, installed them, did your priming method….truck started first try. To note, when comparing the filters and their packaging side by side they do look legit. The differences on the packaging are eBay was brighter and glossier paper and the one difference was the dealer one had a date stamp on the box. The lettering was close but had some flaws. Now to the front filter: the eBay one looked almost exact except for it did not have the part number laser engraved on the top. The inner lining was a greenish colored mesh which did not have as much restriction as oem. The measurements on it were close but the ball pin was a bit more. The rear filter looked exact except for a silver unpainted edge where the canister was crimped to the base. It was missing a o-ring in the center hole which explains the ease if it going on. The ball pin was recessed 5mm deeper which could account for it not functioning. In the end I am glad the truck did not start…..they were junk. Buyer beware. Thanks for your help

    Hey Marion. I am noticing my 2014 2500 fuel filer life is following oil life in the last year or so. Before I could go two oil changes before a fuel filter change, now it seems to be one for one. Old girl is getting up there in age but my driving/towing has not changed much in the last five years. Any thoughts on that?

    • @jessequentin4441
      @jessequentin4441 2 роки тому +1

      That's interesting. I agree with Marion that it appears that the fuel filter life indication on these trucks simply counts miles and tells you the filters need to be changed when you get to 15,000. I wonder if your scenario says something about the oil life indication and how oil life is determined by the truck. The manual says to change the oil every 15k miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. I change it every 6 months and that usually coincides with somewhere around 7,000 to 8,000 miles, and at that time the oil life indication tells me I have somewhere around 50% oil life. So I have always assumed that the oil life indicator just counted miles as well, just like the fuel filters. Maybe this is something you'd want to keep an eye on to see if you notice that the oil life is not dropping linearly with miles. My thoughts on the oil life indicator are obviously highly speculative and based on assumptions.

    On another note, you've now got me all freaked out about the "counterfeit" filters on the market. I've been buying my filter sets on Amazon for about $130 bucks and they come in sealed Mopar boxes with O-rings, etc. They all APPEAR to be legit Mopar parts, but is there some way to tell if you're getting counterfeit parts?
