04.5 I got 04. 5 4x4 SWR and 36' Open Road 5th wheel (13,000lbs. ). Be sure to back the truck under the trailer before you make any changes. I had to have trailer raised by lift kit as many give no clearance. Had 1" clearance now have 8" clearance. Heard of someone leave dealer with 3"...

Level 5th wheel We had to have the 5th wheel raised. Open Road makes I-beam attachment the gives 8 inches clearance. Dodge had heart attack when I asked them to change truck level as they said drive lines would be strained. Other RVer's having same problem.

What gauages? Just hte 3 listed above? Brand, dealer, etc. Should I just have dealer install them? Can i do it myself with out warranty endangerment? Mopar gauges good as ther aftermarket? Towing to / from Florida twice a year and lots of traveling in the mountains of Colorado 13k...

If I am reading things properly: 1. Can be chipped but need to have codes cleared with a device. 2. "Bombing" is heavy duty chipping? (I just want something for better around town mileage and a touch for mountain towing large 5th wheel) 3. Since I have 10 years / 100k mile bumper to bumper...

I was told that taking it off in Colorado was a huge fine. Exhaust Pro's won't even consider it as they say oxygen sensors are fore and aft and would screw up computer along with breaking state law.

I use Northglenn Dodge here in Denver area. Do not know if naming dealer is ok but so far so good with them.

I live in Colorado and have 36 ' Open Road 5er. Write to me directly and I can give you some ideas when I see port of entry and basic time frame. If using campgrounds get Passport America, Happy Camper and some others I know of to save some $. Will direct you to web sites. Peace...

Are Edge chips (and banks, etc. ) detectable or not? I get conflicting answers. I am looking for those who have experience in chipping and then having maintinence or repairs (warrany or not done). Not a mechanic so pleae keep it simple.

Any problems with Michelins?

I thought 6% was tough until I found a 16% grade in Canada. Weird expressions on the faces of those coming down.

Motel 6, Just south of Tramway exit, east side, on left coming from north. 1 mile to casino and several restaurants.

I have 04. 5. What is silencer ring? Does it effect only sound or mileage / power also? Why remove it? I am new to this... be gentle. Also would like best guages to get along with best reccommended chip. Tow large 5th wheel many milesper year. Any advise? What else should I do?
