While in Arizona this winter, we bought a Park Model. We did the cost thing, and decided that we can pay year round rent on a Park Model for about the same money, or a bit less, than three months...

Wow, Steve; I can only dream about that kind of mileage. When I drive 70 - 75, I get 14 mpg. Sixty five mph rewards me with 16 - 16.5. Best that I can do. I'll definitely opt for 3.73:1 or 3.55:1...

Lots of good feedback here. Thanks a lot! BB_TX, I followed the link you provided; it looks like Ford may be getting the message about MPG.

Rich, I know that the Ford weighs more, and is geared lower, so I'm not at all surprised that it got lower mpg's than the Duramax. What does surprise me is the degree of difference. (If your...

Our 3670RL is a 2002 model, and I looked at the Goodyear G rated tire too. My problem is that the earlier Montanas all had six lug, 80# rated wheels, and I could not find any replacements that would...

This sensor can fail all at once, or a little at a time. Mine gratefully gave me a few warnings. It left a DTC of PO340, or PO344, I can't remember which, as I had one of these codes, and a friend...

After four blowouts on four different vehicles (one on the Montana) in the space of eighteen months, I guess I am a bit paranoid. I sprung for the Doran system, and currently only have sensors on...
