Yep it should be much faster now. I had noticed in speed testing the site was very fast... But website speed testing is captured while no one is logged into the website. I tested it manually on my end by just logging off and it was so much faster. I finally dug around and found the social login script was using way too much memory due to a bug in the script. I've disabled it and implemented a few additional caching controls and it is so much faster now. Thank you everyone for sticking it out! I'll continue to tweak it and make it better.

Thanks so much for fixing this so fast. It was driving me nuts..... It is such a nice website, the delays really needed to be corrected. I am sure everyone using this forum appreciates your efforts. John Davies Spokane WA

Matt, Appreciate your efforts! Good job!

WOW! Don't know what Matt did (wouldn't understand it anyway), but, it now works. Bill

You're right! I just logged back in and topics and pages are loading almost instanteously. Good job Matt!

We were poised to purchase a Ram 1500 Ecodiesel in anticipation of our May delivery in Tennessee-a beautiful vehicle. Our towing experience is limited and a number of family members and friends (all lifetime truck owners and outdoor enthusiasts) were adamant about the limitations of light duty trucks. After doing the payload math, inclusive of tongue weight and all of the items we intended to travel with, we were rapidly approaching the upper limits of the tow vehicle. The majority of our outings are in the western U.S. with some elevation challenges that impact horse power and torque. We opted for the bigger truck and are pleased that we did. Driving out loaded for the 2000+ miles from CA to TN our mpg was 20.5 . On our return trip, with our proud possession in tow, we made 15.5 mpg without incident and our Oliver was barely noticeable from behind the wheel. BTW-John's numbers on Ram pricing were spot on in March when we purchased and may be better as the new models are released.

I bought a Dodge Ram 3500 (SRW) new in March 2012 and have presently 40,000 miles on it. It is by far and away the best vehicle, whether it be car, truck or SUV, that I've owned. I'm currently getting 16.5 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Have had zero issues. Once I reach the 5 year mark I'll be deleting the DPF system, only for better fuel economy and somewhat better power response. It is overkill for pulling an Oliver TT but for me I just plain enjoy driving it everywhere.

One of the services provided by Express Employment Professionals here at Elk City Lake State Park, is that a Honey Wagon comes around three days a week and you just put out the little flag, then they will pump out your tanks for you. We just leave our hose out so they can get to it easier. Note the water hose wrapping with heat tape inside. We used a larger than necessary 1" foam wrap to allow room for the heat tape. Yep, we remember those colder temperatures eight hundred miles to the north, and were' gona' be ready, cause' we'll be here till' December 23rd.
