    The terrible cost of diesel maintenance

    Prior to buying my Duramax I read on a lot of forums, including this one, about how much more expensive diesels are. Constant DEF issues, $100+ oil changes, high price of fuel, etc. I've now owned my truck since November. In that time the price of diesel has been cheaper than or close to the...

    Has anyone tried using a clear bra on your class C?

    I had an idea while cleaning the bugs off the front of my class C nose (not hood). Why not have someone install a clear bra on it! Has anyone tried this? Was it expensive? I'm hoping that cleaning would be much easier, and waxing would be a thing of the past.
