I have my 2020 mounted in the cubby hole below the a/c controls (2006+) The cable makes a severe s-curve under the dash. I can hear it moving when I press the pedal but it works perfectly every time. I have never unhooked it either. :D

Anybody know if you can put a stock dually bed over the chassis cab frame? I know the wheel bases are longer for the chassis cab so there will be a gap between the cab and bed but what I'm wondering is if the bed will clear the frame. I was thinking of fabricating a filler box to go between the...

Went to my dealer here in Littleton, CO this weekend. spoke to the salesman who I bought my truck from who is the most knowledgeable guy there on trucks. He said he has heard nothing about a 200k warranty and couldn't find anything. I have heard that you can get an extended warranty up to 200k...

MMeier, Did you pull a 40' container through Baytown TX about 9-10 months ago? I was at the FlyingJ and saw one running down I 10 on a flat bed being pulled by a 03-05 silver Dually. Maybe it was 2x 20's ? Who or What ever it was I bow to your greatness :D

Went to one of the local Denver Dodge dealer that sells lots of trucks in Brighton, CO yesterday. Was test driving chassis cabs w/ 6. 7. Then spoke to the sales manager who told me Chrysler is planning to launch a new line of "commercial grade" warranties within the next few months. Among these...

Got a "new noise" coming from under the hood the last few days on my '06. It's a sort of whiny, slightly grindy noise and seems to be coming from the front of the engine. almost like a power steering pump when it runs low but mine is full. Sounds like an old time hand crank siren. I guess the...

machinemover, I started hauling cars this march with a 3 car wedge behind an 06 3500 DRW. I'm on course to make about 48k profit by the end of this year. However loading & unloading cars can be a lot of work and I am a single guy so I leave home for 8-10 days sometimes. Most of those days...

I got the edge A2 with tomtom navigation but they say the maps are last year's version. Seems to me like they are older than that! I live in a neighborhood that was built 3 years ago and it doesn't even show up! You can go to tomtom.com and download the full U. S current map but it's 120 bucks...

Got home Sunday night, no problems. Only had to go through at one scale entering Colorado. Rolled accross and got the green light. Thanks to all for your input. :D

Ok, everybody, I left Denver yesterday (09/06) at about 3pm. I got to the scales just getting into the rockies at mile marker 234 on I-70. They weighed me and flagged me to come inside. Asked for my truck registration & single state reg. He told me I was ok even though I actually weighed over...

GAmes, I thought about turning it down but this load is for a broker whom I work with often so I don't want to burn a bridge. Is there only one set of scales once you get into Calif all the way to LA? If so I'll enter CA at night bypass the scale and drop off in the morning. Then I'll be fine...

RC, my trailer is an Appalachian made in Ohio. http://www.appalachianmfg.com/index.htm I looked at many brands of wedges and liked this one the best. It is strong but not too heavy. The manufacturer says it weighs 6k but I think it is a little over that because it has chains...

GAmes, My combined GVW's = 26k. 12,200 truck & 13800 trailer. I bought a new data plate from the trailer manufacturer for $30 to get the 13,800 GVW on the trailer just so I could = 26,000 but I have heard that if you actually weigh over 26k or beyond your GCVW they will get you. I have...

I'm hauling 3 cars on a 48' wedge pulled by an 06 CTD dually. I am a car hauler (see link below for pics) and go to the east coast regularly but this will be my 1st time from Denver to Los Angeles. I just loaded 3 cars today and the problem is that right now my GCW is about 26,340 with 1/4 tank...

fkovalski, Thanks so much for the info on the closures. My folks are coming in on the 12th and I was planning to go do some sight seeing. I live in denver and don't usually get out west of the city so It would have never known about it. Now I can at least plan around it. Thanks again, Dan...
