Greg, do ya ever get a 12000 pound gross trailer weight trip to check your MPG ? Just wondering since that is probably what I will be pulling with my new 3500. Thanks... 18Dodger18

Going to order a new RAM 3500 next week. Now my wife asks me.. "Do we actually need a four wheel drive truck?" Good question dear... We are NOT going off-roading any more, we live in relatively level area of Ohio, no mountainous roadways, last few years snowfall has averaged less than 4...

Hey Buddy, maybe you have been asked this previously, if so, I missed your reply, but I see U R running a 4X4. Is there any reason pro or con, why an OTR guy like yourself would need a 4X4? And would there be any MPG numbers available to compare running a 4x4 vs a 4X2 the miles that U run ...

O-Kay, now I know for darned sure why the RAM 3500 wheels won't fit the Dexter 12K axles.. It is so simple, I shoulda thunk of it a lot sooner...The Dexter 12K axle uses a .625" wheel lug bolt and the RAM 3500 uses a .55118110236" or 14 MM lug... Now I know... I'm not sure just what will happen...

I'm sorry, Nick. I missed your previous answer... (duuhhh.. stupid me...) but, I read in the manual that the Ram wheel bore is 121MM, and I think that computes to just a very few one-thousanths more than 4.75...I don't wanta start an argument with ya, cuz U probly know more than me.. It's...

Nick, One reason for thinkin' reg cab is some places we hafta deliver to, have limited space to maneuver a 48' trailer load of foam around in, I agree for travel comfort the looonger, the goooder, but we have the North East corridor as our delivery "lanes" and space ain't one of our "perks" up...

Luv yer Cherry..., Snoking, If you were gonna buy a truck to put a driver in to drive OTR, 6 days a week, would ya still wanta spring the xtra bux and buy the bucket seats? Thanks for your opine.. Olde Bob 18Dodger18

Greg, another stupid, unrelated question: Will our 17X6" Ram Dually Wheels fit the Dexter 12000 lb Axle??? Thanxz.. Olde Bob 18Dodger18

Well now that we don't have that burning issue settled, can we decide which tool set to buy, Craftsman or Proto ??

Vavolinbe Blue 15-40 Synthetic Lube Oil.. SNOKING, Do you have that info about the Valvoline Blue on "Good authority"..? If so, thanks... That would probably be as good or better than most to continue running. I have had extremely GOOD LUCK running Shell Rotella T-6, so that is what I...
