Gas/diesel prices We need Reagan back to put on price controls like he did in the 70's. Stopped the price gouging and the long lines dissapeared overnight. My $. 02

You're right!!

Most of our oil comes from Canada, the Saudis are #8 on the supply list!!

Tires What is the load rating on those tires?

2500 to 3500 suspension? Your rear load capacity will be limited by the tires, ie. ,3195# per tire = 6390# total maxed out load on rear axel!!! :--) Oo.

Has anyone come out yet with 17", 3400# per tire yet. I have the Michlens at 3195# ea. and would like to get higher load rated tires. Thanx, Gambler Oo. :p

How much does the 19. 5 inch tires change the gear ratio?

timbrens if the wrong timbrens are installed, they will make the ride very rough, as mine did the first time I had them installed. I called the factory and told them my story and they explained the "right" timbrens must be installed for the year and model of vehicle. I had a heck of a time...

I'm running Michlen Load range "E" @3195# each @ 70psi. I take this to mean 6400# is all the bed of my truck can wiegh, is this correct or is there some kind of safety factor figured in. The rear of ny truck wieghs 3100# empty so I figure that the max that I can load is 3300#. Is this correct or...

Timbrens I pull a 38' Avion 5er with a tongue wieght of 3200# loaded. Before the timbrens, the truck squated 3. 5" when the 5er was hooked up. After installing the Timbrens, the truck only squated 2" and the ride was excellent. When empty the timbrens are about 1. 25" from touching the axel...

19000 on 48re towing 15,250#, no problems!!

I'm from Grants Pass, Oregon and when I got the TSB done, the service writer gave me a read out that showed that the TSB that was installed was the 007 and not the 037. I am now in California and have hand calced my mileage on the trip here. I was towing a 15,000lb. 5th wheel and on flat land...

I went in to the dodge dealer and told him I wanted TSB 18-037-04 and they preformes the TSB 18-007-04. Now my truck runs good, but the MPG overhead is 1. 5 mpg off and I lost 2mpg. :{ I went back and showed him his mistake and he told me that once the tsb oo7 was performed that I couldn't...

2nd gear lock-up Apparently the '04, 305/555 & the '04. 5 325/600 electronics are different. I don't know of anyone with the 325/600 48RE that locks up in 2nd gear, so the trans. electronics must be different. :(

2nd gear lock-up :) Rankram-Maybe the 03 trans does lock-up in 2nd gear, but I thought we were talking about the 04. 5, which has, as I understand it, different electronics for almost everything. :--) including the trans.
