I wanted to mention boys I wanted to mention to synthetically with the jayco North point attached to the truck in phatically the ultimate alternate ride height rides way worse way worse in regular ride height at rides much better maybe that's because I have the air ride pin box not sure but I did a test with a cup of water and had my wife watch it and emphatically the same road same speed everything the same the alternative alternative ride height is way way way worse maybe that's just my situation well I just want to let you guys know way worse even when I had the rear of the truck filled with the wood and the blocks it was way worse also just my opinion guys but I'm 99.9% sure on this.

Ok I now have the tires at 32 psi on the back and 80 psi on the fronts still riding a little rough but better......I also got the air ride fixed they said that one of the lines had gotten loose however I'm wondering if maybe I had too much weight on the rear I had some of those concrete blocks in the truck bed so it may have been at like 4200 pounds but I believe the load capacity on the truck with occupants is 5210 lbs.

Stuart for 5 years I have been carrying 6k on my pin with ZERO issues with my Factory Rear Air Ride.

Stick to your tire air pressure mentioned when towing "LITTLE" TT's.

Get that B&W adjustable hitch and LEAVE your truck in ALT ride mode!!!

Stuart, this thread and ALL posts will NEVER go away!!!

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I have a question boys who said there was an air ride seat kind of like for the Dodge ram 3500 19 somebody had said that to me I'm not sure also I believe it has a pivoting feature kind of like when I drove 18 wheelers for a little while and what happens is that chucking the seat goes back and forth forward and backward about 3/4 of an inch something like that just curious?????

Stuart, Here is the thread. It is for a third gen truck but will work on a 4th gen truck also. You can contact National Seat Corp for the seats and follow the installation instructions posted by Mike Wilson.

You be the travelin Man!!!

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I am The traveling Man and I am in the Elkhart Campground in Elkhart Indiana right now just set up the RV and leveled it out in the pouring rain boy that was funny yeeeeeeehahhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

All right so I went to a shop today called Dually Depot here in Elkhart Indiana and I looked at a 109 gallon aluminum fuel tank to go in the back of the 3500 it's quite a big tank however it will fit with the Anderson and it will fit everything will be fine but it's $1,475 installed with tax and all that good stuff it is not a gravity-fed model it is a pump fed model so I looked at it and I don't know we'll see what happens if I get one eventually but looks like it's a good unit.

 

[Timd32]

Glad your well,, stay safe out there.

Had never heard of that term figured it was one of your text to voice things.

Either way its legit.

This is an older blog.

Pretty cool. Don't have an RV but good info.

Have always seen bad things about parking at Walmart for big trucks anyway.

Have you considered a 55 gallon Titan replacement tank? Be sure the in bed tank does NOT stick above the bed rails.

 

[BoKat96]

So am I understanding this timeline correctly, you've went from having nothing related to a RV or HD truck prior to your current setup to now starting to haul trailers out of Elkhart, IN to dealerships?

Oh and speech to text also recognizes punctuation inputs if you know what those are.

If I missed something along the way I apologize, I skipped from page 40ish to the end just to see if the ridiculousness was still evident. IT IS. Not new to the truck and trailer scene just to TDR. If you all who have kept commenting on this guys questions haven't figured out it's no use then you deserve the darwin award also. This guy will succumb to natural selection just pray he doesn't involve the innocent bystander. I work for a RV dealership in GA and pray I never see that truck pull in with a trailer cause it's going to take me forever to do a intake inspection just because I know something is bound to be jacked up. Stuart I'm sorry but your like a box of chocolates.

Welcome to the TDR. I saw your other thread but did not get a chance to say Hi.

This thread has a ebb and flow and I can see how it's easy to take the approach to it, its multiple issues over a long duration. Agree some good ideas go over looked.

Just be patient with folks and give them a shot Stuart is a nice guy and has a very nice family, he came here looking for advice and there is a lot of it to be had.

Just keep an open mind, the TDR is a little different then some other places lots of members with around 15-20 years, Im a newbie only been here 5yr, but like I said just roll with it for a bit if able.

Glad you signed up and if you can swing it the membership is great there are some great people on here. Good to see you have some RV experience and there are alot of folks who have that and like myself I don't really have any major experience pulled my BIL a few times for him.

Again welcome to the TDR hope you find some valuable information here for your new truck.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

Wow natural selection and chocolate too sounds like a real adventure to me but I have learned much and have more to learn folks I have made my posts kind of like a cartoon to some extent because laughter is a good medication!!!
