KYD just went to him, Aaron from PTT to help with all things 6.7

I start looking at 1/2 a tank. By then the kids and dogs are ready to stretch their legs. 💩 happens.

That's why I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER get below 1/4 of a tank of fuel when we're on the road but my wife will push the limit every time!

Hey Chad @changinglanes, I'm trying to split the brake/turn signals on our trailer (the light bars are on and working except for the turn signals). The Tow Package Module is not longer available. Any other ideas?

Thanks for airing this, so I could look over to the spouse and say, "I told you so...." LOL

Why would you try and run that low. You make your own troubles

About 10 or 12 years ago, we were heading to a family reunion on Possum Kingdom Lake. I was driving a diesel Ford Excursion pulling a travel trailer with a wave runner behind it. I planned on filling up as we got closer to the lake but there was no where t fill up on the rural route we took. There was a station at the campground we were staying at so I thought I would make it with the miles to empty. I ran out of diesel with the campground in sight and was able to coast to the diesel pumps with all I had in tow. That’ll never happen again.

at quater tank time to look for fuel and just stop and fill up

Come down from the GD Mountain and hear what GD is telling us common folk. I called GD CS with issues. They flat out said no we won’t make an appointment for you. Must be nice to always get to the front of the line.

This is why we have a 70 gallon auxiliary tank in the bed. We treat the main tank as reserve and never have fuel drama. This after coasting into Rock Springs, WY, on fumes at the end of trip across the empty part of the state.😀

So you guys went through Cochise County and didn’t think to say hi?

Why is it doing that when you're still showing you have gas ??

Oh i feel your pain...we just got home from a road trip with car issues... not a good feeling

You lost the prime in the fuel filters that’s why took forever

I always fill up at 1/2 a tank. It gives me a reason to stop and also lessens the shock on my wallet.

Chad, I see you ran out of fuel about 100 feet away from the pump. One time I ran out fuel there was nobody in front of me i coasted to the pump about 200 feet and I made it to the pump. It was amazing

Great HH stop. Wine is good, folks are kind. Saw an amazing sunset Safe travels

have noticed in your videos, you both have communications ,driver to pass, even when hunting a fuel can.... please let us know what you use/recommend to help save our marriage.. thanks...

I added a 45 gal aux tank/toolbox in the bed, so with the truck 48 gal tank we now have over 90 gallons on board. When I get to 25% I already have a fuel stop planned on out open roads app.

Don't believe the fuel miles remaining when driving I-10 west of San Antonio all the way to the California border. Head winds will get you every time. There are no external "tells" that you are driving in a steady 20mph headwind (no trees to blow around). Meanwhile the truck is burning fuel like you are going 80 mph. The only real indicator is the turbo boost gauge.

Nice 😊

Hi Chad, Tara, and Daisy, as I watch this video sitting in my camper at the Morryde parking lot waiting for Monday to have the IS installed on my Solitude. Remembering back to 2022 at the GD National Rally when we met that was a fun week. This is such a cool area for an RVer to be.

1/4 tank Chad, 1/4 tank .. rule of the road

We just did a cross country trip from NC to CA and back in our 6.0L Excursion. We have a rule to start looking for fuel at 1/2 a tank and we carry 10 gallons of diesel on the rack of the camper especially on Western trips. There are roads out there where there are no fuel stations for 150 miles (El Paso to Carlsbad US 62). Diesels do not like to run out of fuel and I know my truck could have $5000 damage easily. If a station does not accept my discount cards, I pay extra.

The "remaining range" sensor on the Super Duty trucks must have been made by the same people who make black water tank level sensors. When I first got my F350, I thought I could make it home a couple of miles when it said I had 13 miles remaining. Ran out of fuel. Fortunately, Ford's roadside assistance came to the rescue. A couple of years later, got caught in Kansas while towing, and the towns and fuel stations were 50 miles apart. Started looking for a station that we could fit into when the range indicated was 100 miles. I found one when it indicated 20 miles remaining, the "low fuel pressure" alarm came on just as I got to the end of the freeway exit, and the engine died just as we made it to the pump. The P087 code is a transitory code, and clears after a few startup cycles.

I'm always filling up at 1/4 tank as my father would run it to the end. Even coasting downhill into the gas pumps. 😂 Chad, have you thought about using the Ford OEM trailer camera with your F450? I have a 2023 F450 and the trailer camera but have not found a video with an RV using it. Would be nice to see it in the truck screen and delete another monitor. Thoughts?

Great video and things always happen that’s life at least you all can laugh about it. Question do you always stop in inspection locations when pulling the camper? Hadn’t thought about that before. Safe travels. 🤙

What mounts do you use for your gps and rear back up camera?

Do you remember where you got the puppy car seat?

Wouldn’t even have fun with something that big

Chad, do you lock Daisy in the truck and leave it run or do you put her in the trailer? We have two Yorkies and curious what we will do when we need to stop. Plus our son has a cat. So, she might travel in the RV when under tow. I’m not dealing with a cat crawling everywhere.

Same thing happened to me on a test drive of a brand-new truck! Back in January 2020, I test drove a 2019 F-350 Platinum DRW located at Greenway Ford in Orlando, Florida. The truck showed 20 miles until empty but stalled on a busy highway, Colonial Drive, directly across from the dealership. It was embarrassing because I was directing traffic around the disabled truck until someone from the dealership came to pick me up. The crazy thing is that I ended up getting a great deal, and I bought the truck! I now tell everyone I bought a brand-new truck that broke down on the test drive. My friends and family thought I lost my mind. I learned a valuable lesson from that experience, and as soon as the low fuel indicator comes on, I immediately fill up.

This was hard to watch... I'll echo here what so many others have said, that wasn't good. Look up CP4 failures. It will take out the entire fuel system, easily leaving the owner with a $12k+ bill. As awesome as the PSD is, the CP4 is the bane of the PSD. Thankfully, the buckets in the 20+ CP4's are pinned, which solve one common problem with this pump, however, many of us also install DPK's. And better yet, now S&S has come out with a DCR complete replacement pump (recommended over the CPX). It sounds like besides this time, you have also run out of fuel and dry cranked your truck in the past... I would suggest taking it in and having a DCR put in, and the sooner the better. Most likely damage has already been done to your pump, and if so, some of that glitter has already made it's way through your system, which would mean it's just a matter of time before it fails, and a few gallons of fuel won't fix it. I love my 22 PSD, however, I learned as much as I could about it when I got it, and the first thing to note is that the fuel system leaves no room for error such as with these dry cranks, or letting them run empty. If it happens again, do not try to crank it without letting the system repressurize first at least half a dozen times. It's easy to do, just turn the key/push the button to ACC for about 30 seconds, then turn it back off. Then do it again... and again.... You can hear the pump running when you do it. After about 6 times, turn the engine over, but if it doesn't crank right up, stop and let the pump run a few more times. Good luck!

Prime the system as others have said. Your doing no favors to your CP4 pump which is known to go bad from lack of lubricity. If CP4 goes it will take out your entire fuel system at a huge cost, over 10k. Look up CP4 failures.

The Bosch CP4 doesn’t like two things, water and to be run dry of lubricating fuel. If I were you Chad I’d be concerned about the condition of the high pressure fuel pump. It’s time for a S&S DCR upgrade to protect the rest of your fuel system. Ford looks very hard at ways to get out of replacing the CP4 and related fuel system parts under warranty so I’d just bite the bullet and spend $3600 to upgrade the CP4 to eliminate future problems.

What's worse than a CP 4 fuel pump run dry???

You guys…..what positive attitudes you have in adversity (drama)! Thanks for your video work! Be safe!

Do NOT run out of fuel with a diesel. It's not fun. In older engines I've had to prime the fuel system to get it running again. Don't know much about the newer ones.

You should have just primed the fuel pump. Turn on the ignition, but don't start it. Wait about 15 to 30 seconds, turn it off, and repeat. Do this about 5 or 6 times and it should start with no problem.

DTE is a calculated by the computer algorithm, it's not a real gauge. If your ever run dry again, just cycle the key on and off theres no need to crank. The pump is electric.

Love the idea, but spending 170 bucks on 75 cents worth of foam is out of control.

Am I the only one who is wondering why not one single person could’ve done you a solid and pulled you up 30 feet to get some damn fuel? I mean it’d only take a couple minutes and save you guys a bunch of time.

Sedona is a fun place to explore. Hope you enjoyed it.

I carry a full 5 gal fuel can. Just last month, I needed it twice. But, normally, I fill before I hit 1/4 tank.

I have a 2019 sandstorm toy holler with a 30 AMP Onan generator. I also have a small solar panel on the roof. I am not sure how big it is. And I have a go power solar power controller. I have 2 Group 31 deep cycle Odyssey batteries. I’m looking at putting in a 4,000 watt inverter and wiring it into my generator wiring, coming off the power side of the generator going into the breaker box underneath the refrigerator. And then just flipping the breaker off for the converter when running off the inverter. Will that work. I’m just going to be using the inverter for the few 120V outlets and watch televisions at night when Boon docking at night. In the day time I will turn the generator on to run the air, conditioner, microwave, and Recharge, the batteries etc. Will that work? I’m new to this and I have no idea if that will work. What do you think?

Didn’t you just love this tour?❤

My friend yses...Waggle,,,Excellent alert system...you get notified immediately of rising temps,AC, going out,etc

You have RUINED my life! My wife (Colleen) always tells me that "it is just as easy to fill the top half of the tank as it is to fill the bottom half!" She learned that from her Dad. I rolled in to Helena, Montana with five miles remaining. She is nest to me saying "See!" That said, why don't you have a can of diesel? That is a newbie mistake. Always carry a can of fuel, DEF and water.

Yes,,CD from Dogs Ear. Or a radio us good,music and radio voices can drown out the Outside noises

Excellent videi,thnx
