What is happening to the forum. Not much activity lately. Did my dog scare everyone off, or is hibernation set in?

Trans is NV5600 6 speed manual, mirrors are power heated breakaways (useless mirrors for a real truck). Linex bed liner, OEM diamond boards, trailer tow package. Getting Power Vision heated mirrors on Saturday.

Mileage started at 14 mpg and is now up to 18mpg all empty highway miles. I was getting 26 to 27 with my 94. I am a little concerned about what I will get towing my Cardinal 5er 30ft. With my 94 2500 CTD NV4500 5 speed I was getting 16 to 17 mpg towing.

my '95 12v 5spd 2wd got 22-24mpg regular use , my '01 q/c 24v 5spd 2wd gets 18-20 had a rhino liner in the '95 was thinking the same for this one. i do const so i get dirty,the cover craft co. makes "seat savers" hand made canvas seat covers. washable,great fit, heavy duty, colors, really better than i thought they would be! where did you find mirrors? i'd like to look at other options, the 2in1's are hard to get used to 4 me.

You can take a look at PowerVision. Have found prices can vary at dealers up to $200.

I'd say no to the hibernation deal,,There are alot of us diesel guys who post on many of the other Diesel sites and seem to miss one or two every now and then,,I stop by and look things over as time permits,,Been kinda busy in the never ending quest for more power and it consumes alot of time,,Want my ride ready for Muncie and with work time limits how much I can get done,,I'll be a lurking if needed......
