Gas vs Diesel 3/4 ton truck

intrepid27
So the wife and I just purchased a good sized 5th wheel camper and are looking at 2020-2024 3/4 ton trucks. BTW camper weighs 10,500# dry and has hitch weight of 2050#. We started out our search focused on gas trucks but now realize there are a lot of 3/4 ton diesel trucks out there.

I'm struggling to find good advice on gas vs diesel. And I know this is the BESTEST place to get advice. How much difference is milage both towing and not towing. Also how much more maintenance do diesels require, fuel filters, additives, etc. Lastly, are the cold weather starting problems a thing of the past?

Add on info based on early comments. I'd say probably looking at driving 20K miles per year with 50% of that being towing. Also probably looking at 5 years use lifespan.

Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch (and maybe big Northern Lights show)

Jer
Figured didn't really fit in the weather thread...

World told to brace for 'severe geomagnetic storm' today - the first in nearly 20 years - which could bring chaos to mobile phone networks, GPS satellites and power grids.

At least five streams of plasma, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are heading toward Earth, prompting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to issue a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Friday into the weekend.

Useful products thread

Cyclonepride
Thought this might be interesting, as there are a lot of things out there that are very useful that people may not know about.

For instance, my neighbor's fence was on it's last legs (I've had a post angled against it and a guy wire attached for well over a year so it won't fall down).

My sister told me they bought fence post anchors when theirs were getting wobbly, so I spent last night installing three of them and they worked great.

On That Note: And The Singer Sings His Song

cyclones500
This week’s theme is straightforward. We’re looking for songs with title or lyrics that include forms of the word “sing.”

If it's in the lyrics, the more prominent the reference, the better, but singular occurrence is fair game.

On That Note is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Here’s a track to get our singing in gear ...

Greatest "B" side recordings ever

B
For you youngsters who have no idea what a B side is, it refers to the song on the flip side of a 45 record. The A side is the song being released in the hopes it's a hit. The B side is usually mostly filler, just so it's not a blank space. Here's my nominee. It became this group's only No. 1 hit.

Great Movie Casting "Misses"

Gonzo
Just read this and had to bring it to light. Apparently when casting First Blood the role of John Rambo was offered to Dustin Hoffman, who turned it down.

There were a lot of actors considered for the role of Rambo. But Dustin Hoffman? All 5'5 and 140 lbs. of him... as John Rambo? That has to be one of the most ridiculous casting suggestions I've ever heard, right up there with Ryan O'Neal as Rocky Balboa.

There are plenty of other great casting "misses" out there, curious if others have found any that they think are particularly egregious.
