I had, and took, the time to break my gears in properly. The dealer even gave the truck to me as a "Loaner" for two days, so I could break it in before towing my 5ver home. I figured why not, since I had the time and opportunity.

Well Nick, I'll find out next month what the fees look like

I had my 2010 3500 for 8 years towing my 5th wheel without a single emissions problem.

I paid a weight fee, but I don't recall anything about a motor carrier tax. I certainly didn't claim the 30,100 lb. max tow rating. :)

YEP!

OK then. Let's see if I can get this thread back on track. I agree that leaving it stock is best with these new trucks. And I keep the mirrors up out of convenience, or laziness, since I primarily only drive the truck when I'm towing the 5th wheel and don't want to have to re-adjust the main...

I agree that leaving it stock is best with these new trucks. And I keep the mirrors up out of convenience, or laziness, since I primarily only drive the truck when I'm towing the 5th wheel and don't want to have to re-adjust the main mirrors every time I change the position, that and I would...

The 5th wheel is not hitched in the pic I posted. It sits level when it is hitched. If you look at my avatar pic, you can see how it rides when it is hitched. This rig has a little over 6k load rating and 30k towing. Hopefully more than I will ever need.

Well, this is a bit of a delayed post. I traded my 2010 SRW 3500 for a 2018 DRW Max Tow last March . What a difference.

NICE!

Well said. The wife and I are planning on retiring in about 6 years and full timing. Until then we go to the forest/desert, visit family or just travel to places we haven't been to yet just to get out and enjoy our RV. We are on our second rig. First was 24' travel trailer and current is 36'...

I have a 5th wheel toy hauler (in signature) and I run empty with the tires at the recommended pressure of 110 PSI. I also changed from the stock 235/80 R16 to Sailun brand 235/85 R16 and new wheels with a proper higher PSI rating. The new tires have a higher load rating, the original tires were...

I have never seen the "change oil" message on my Ram. It still has less than 40k on the clock so I change the oil about once a year instead of basing it on mileage. I go through the reset procedure when I do the service, maybe that's why I never get the message.

If you ever get an Edge Insight (Reader only, not programmer) it will show when the truck is in regen.
