Legend has it….JB is still pumping diesel in Missouri ⛽️
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lol what
I have driven modern emission semi trucks for a lot of years. I also have a diesel mechanic background with many years of experience with that.
Those who say to not get DEF at the truck stop pumps are full of it. One important key to DEF is that is is fresh and it does have a shelf life. I have worked in the fuel industry for that past almost 2 decades. The bulk DEF that is delivered to the truck stops is held to the same standard that packaged DEF is as in how it is handled from the manufacturer to the retailer. The bulk truck stop DEF is likely fresher than the packaged DEF simply due to the high volume that is sold that way. The main thing when using the bulk DEF from the truck stop is to make sure the nozzle is really clean before using it to fill your vehicle.
DEF inherently crystalizes when exposed to air so the nozzles can get kind of nasty looking but once they are cleaned of that the DEF from them is as good or better than the jug from Walmart.
I laughed out loud when you said speed limit was 80 but you didn’t want to go too fast cause it was cold and you didn’t want to run up on a bad spot in the road, then promptly showed the speedometer at 79 mph 🤣🤣.
They are pumping slow because the fuel pump filter is blocked or starting to gel. You might want to change your fuel filter on your truck soon after using those pumps.
Man that stretch of I-80 through Wyoming and Nebraska is looong. Thank God the speed limit in WY and a significant part of NE 80mph, otherwise it would never end. I did find that 5 mile piece of Iowa that you go through pretty fun.
Dude you’re not kidding, I almost gave up and turned around 😂
Nice nice! Go Chevy but the Dodge Ram beats all competitors on MPG! My 60 gal upgrade fuel tank! Plus a 50 gal fuel bed tank! I can drive over 2,000 miles before fueling. P.S. invest in a pharmaceutical sealed lid urinal you can place under the seat, stow and go! Don't forget to also include hand wipes for good hygiene! I am the Black Soldier Fly Man👴🏽, and I drive an old Dodge pickup truck! USA#1
Hey Next time go to the fleet side(big rigs) to fuel your trucks. You get 1 gallon per second when both pumps are running. Still much faster than the standard pump diesel. J.B. don't tell nobody it's a secret.🤫
When I get my first dually, I’m planning to run big fuel capacities so I can do the same too! Ahh man I wish I knew about that, I would have ordered one before my trip and I keep a big thing of wipes in my trucks because my hands are typically dirty from hooking/unhooking trailers, thanks 👍🏾👍🏾
Brother I see your videos! It shows you're The Real Deal!.J.B. These days I see more when Full-time Towing. You need to invest your money in your transmission retro Aisin weakness. The 68RFE cost twice to retro weakness (clutch packs)bearing failures! I apologize for the Farmers out there, They buy a New Truck and make it 700hp. Kill the 68RFE. Don't chip it! Run it. But do it right! Make it longevity! The Truck will take care of you! Diesel runs great at a lowest stall speed, that's why I recommend towing. You need a multi disk converter. Stock OEM single disk. I need to say no more! Aisin transmission is the Beast Master. If one can afford the upgrades(all total billet internals, billet valve body. You have the Mag Tech deep pan and heavy duty billet transmission cooler. You're gonna, Aah let me just stop! Too much to list! Too much money too build it!🤣😂🤣
You should be able to tap the start button twice (without the foot on the brake) to get all the information from the dash. It's the equivalent to turning the key to on just past acc on older vehicles.
I thought so too but it won't let me click through
@@JB_WhoWork hold the start button with Out your foot on the brake for 7 - 10 seconds and it’ll work.
I did a 1050 mile trip Houston to Tampa RV show - empty with no pull and got approx 17-19 mpg - or that what the gauge showed.
Same truck - 2022 3500 SRW Diesel AT4
FYI... If you want to read gauges without starting the truck hold the start button for 10 to 20 seconds and they will start up. Just don't put your foot in the brake obviously. I've had my truck for year and just found this out.
I dont piss in a bottle, I do it in the parking lot, but when I got my new 22 f350 back in oct, at granger in Iowa, I had to drive 18hrs back to NC, I slept in the truck, watched the stars through the moonroof. Did the same when I bought my 18 f250 in TX and toured the national parks as well. I lived in that new truck for 6 days, I showered in the state parks after hikes haha.
I can't wait for the 2024 HD Chevy's that's what I'd like to go to next!
Baby I love you I'm staying in my truck 🤣 🤣. You could've stayed overnight at my place in Tennessee. I'm in Pleasant Shade, 1 hour east of Nashville. Love the truck ...safe travels !!
Be safe on your travels. Probably already back home with how you release videos 😂 oh yeah definitely team bottle
Got trapped in a tunnel there was accident ahead of me Thank God for that wide mouth on Gatorade bottles 😂.
I’m a driver buddy… but yeah I pee while driving but not in a bottle, they’re too small I use a medium size paint bucket so that I know I don’t miss.. Then I chuck it out the window when I’m done with it Rinse it out and chuck that out the window as well… Then I put the bucket 🪣 behind my seat again. Lol Every mile Counts my friend😂
I find anything over 70, mileage goes through the floor. 65-70 and we got 20 ish coming back from Tennessee.
The the start-stop button can be held down for about five to seven seconds if you want to view all the Guage info without starting the engine.
I have the same truck on 37's with a pulsar, I average 15mpg mixed driving 25%city 75%highway.
And if my def gauge actually worked I'd be able to figure that out
JB a little tip I use. Every fill up, pull out your phone & take a pic of the pump for Gals & $.$$; then get in truck & take a pic of your odometer with computer fuel efficiency. I do this every fill up. Have tons of data on fuel efficiency but tank, by trip, & by driving conditions. I’m a data geek. Helps in comparing computer to tank FE.
I actually did this for the trip lol, I literally forgot a receipt at the first pump 😂
JB thanks for your videos. My wife and I I are new RV owners and we are sold on GMC 2500 HD Duramax.
not normally a fan of vlog type videos. but I liked this one
When a diesel or gas pump goes that slow it means that the filter is either clogged or full and needs to be changed
Did you say you were going to make it from Utah to Tennessee in one shot. Come on man!!! I’ve made that trip across Wyoming thru Nebraska and up into Iowa many many times. It’s and easy but boring stretch of straight highway.
The only question I have for you is where is your HotShot Secret EDT. 😂. 16+ MPG at 80mph isn’t bad at all. Appreciate the travel blog.
Bro, that was a struggle to get to Missouri and you not lying BORING!
You know ever since I got rid of my RAM with that pesky CP4, I haven’t ran as much additive although that’s in part to me not keeping this truck after this year too, thanks bro 👍🏾
I know my truck was getting 25mpg and only regen twice from california to Florida and i know when it was on regen and when the last regen was do to my CTS3 monitoring system that thing is a lofe saver i have 2019 gmc denali 2500hd and thatbwas with all family and luggage took me 29 hours non stop
Wow that’s insane, took me about 2 days by myself lol
damn dude u drive all over the place- crazy
Always at the pump never had a problem
Liking this VLOG. Keep em coming. Be safe.
I would have road tripped with ya bro! Nice truck interesting video👍🏻👍🏻
Why the cover on front grill is is to improve mileage
if you were doin 65 unloaded you would be in the low to mid 20"s mpg. ive done it in mine a few times.
Yes but time is money. I drive up & down the east coast for business & I run my Ram 3500 HO Cummins between 80-88 (sometimes higher) mph & get about the same JB was getting. If I drive 65-70 I’d fall asleep. I often wondered if I could get 20-22 if I drove 65-70.
I wish I could drive that speed lol! I actually did, early on I was showing 22 MPG but that didn’t last long 🤣
@@JB_WhoWork 😂😂 there seems to be a direct correlation between how far you push the skinny pedal and mpg.
4:20 78 miles and hour.....Hard to keep foot out of that D-Max! Snow or no snow!
Yea it is, roads had some dry patches so I got some confidence to go faster
BTW - let us know if you come to the Houston RV show next week -
Subscribed sit! Be careful out there!
It’s annoying, but if a pump is running slow sometimes there is an issue with pump, so I stop the pump and reset it. Occasionally this works.
You’re not lying, I should have gone on the truck side 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork it’s always a safe bet to go truck side.
Diesel is heavy remember, and wen its cold its takes longer to siphoned
2 in a row on those miserable slow pumps. I hate it when that happens. I am glad someone is finally telling the truth on the comfort of these trucks, I can drive mine all day without getting uncomfortable, but I aint sleepin in it.
Dude the worst luck on that trip or maybe it happened for a reason 🤷♂️… lol, yea sleeping wasn’t the greatest for sure 👍🏾
I’ve slept in my Prius. This would be a luxury hotel by comparison.
We have taco John's in montana and it's not terrible 🤣
So question why keep your tires at 80 psi? I understand a little higher will help fuel mileage but that seems a little excessive my opinion of course.
I get great mileage on my tires and I typically pulling a trailer so I just have gotten used to it. I don’t think you get much mpg out of it though 👍🏾
I put a 56 gallon tank in. I would be there a week filling it.
JB, would you make a video comparing the Ram tow mirrors vs . GMC tow mirrors?
are you still running your front tires at 70 instead of 60? can can you notice a difference?
8:00 TMI bro. Ok gonna finish the video😂
🤣🤣🤣 sorry bro, you have to admit it’s hard to stop when you are trying to get somewhere 👍🏾
Hey JB sorry if you mentioned it earlier, but what’s the total weight you can pull with this GMC. T.I.A. ✌🏼
Can you also do it each way? To Maryland (empty) and under tow back (with trailer and vehicle).
Yep, I got footage on the way back home 👍🏾
Speed really affects fuel efficiency. The faster you go, the more fuel you use. I have never driven in a state that has an 80 mph speed limit. At 73 mph, my 17 duramax gets 20 to 23 mpg.
Is that L5P with 6 speed Allison 3.73 gears
@techs 1smh mine is. I think they all are. Mine also has 100,000 miles on it. The MPG and towing got better with more miles.
@@toddfry7861 they put 10 speed and 3:42 in around around 19-20. Love L5P not fan of 10 speed and 3:42. If I ever bought a newer DMAX the one you have is it. My 20 yo DMAX still kicks ass leaks nothing.
Do you hv a Love's truckstop card? It's free
grille cover? you don't need those until you're in the negative temperature.
True but in Utah we got down to single digits so I just use it anyways 👍🏾
Hi, New subscriber...Have you done a review on the Powerboost
I have not but I will try to do an MPG run with one if I can find it 👍🏾
Seems it would have been mlre cost effective to sell the trailer, amd buy a new one there. Then sell the car in maryland. 5800 miles round trip depreciating the hell out of the truck you will be trading.
I hope your front parking light does not go out JB. I mean it is a GMC after all.
LOL, you better stop hating on my GMC!
@@JB_WhoWork I’m was never a GM fan but after watching some of your vids. It does not seem that bad of a truck. I’m waiting to see some reviews of the 2024 Gasser 10 speed one ton.
Dont EVER touch a Gatorade bottle in a man's car door! 😅
Test drove a 3500, felt like I was sitting on planks of wood. YMMV
gonna get a ford?
The seats are definitely stiffer but I felt fine after all the seat time 👍🏾
Several times per year I drive my RAM 3500 over 1,000 miles with just short stops for food, fuel & BR breaks and when I get out, it feels like I drove down to the local store & back. Very comfortable!
My 2022 Sierra HD seats are great! I've done several thousand miles of road trip in them and feel fine. Bunch of soft ass pansies complaining like the princess and the pea...
You don't have to start truck to see dash info.
You’re one brave person to leave your fuel pump unintended while in use. I’m not trying to bust your b$lls too much. If you have a decent size spill You, are responsible for the cleanup. If the hazmat crew has to get called, it starts at $10,000 bucks and goes up from there.
Normally I don’t leave it but that time around it was so slow I got 3 things done and it was still not done pumping 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork I get it brother!! I’ve had some slow pumps too.
@@JB_WhoWork 23 plus years of being a truck driver I’ve seen some pretty crazy stuff at the fuel pumps and had a couple close calls myself.
That’s a low flow pump 😂
Story of my life and I went hundreds of miles and found the exact pump again…
Hey JB great vlog, also team dirty max as well and team bottle cup or whatever I can reach with out having to stop, wife in truck or not and@ SilverbulletRB26 25mph stop lying or post a vid….my 15 is modded for mpg and doesn’t get that
