I to am looking into this so I can use the RB4 Radio with a XM tuner.

Thanks That explains why my old 95 would stay in 3rd gear as on my new 05 seem like it stays in 4th.

Question is I have a 2005 Dually with a stock Autobox and with a trailer weight of about 15K how should I use the overdrive. Being in flat land of Houston TX my way is to keep in tow mode (overdrive off) when driving under 45~50 then when entering the on ramp to the freeway (Still somewhat...

:confused: I guess I need to research before I jump the gun sorta speak. Looking at the Edge website as mentioned the 2003 (555) is the missing one. My 1995 CTD had gages galore and back then I wished upon 1 single unit to select what I want shown & programable. with this in mind I am...

:confused: Doh... ... ... ... . I should have read a few post lower about the edge for the 555. Brings up a point back in 2003 and I was at a Houston truck show and Edge was there in a booth and they said they would have a box out soon. That soon came and gone in my book and now I ned...

looking to upgrade my 2005 dually since I will be pulling a 44' car hauler. I know with my 1995 that was bombed it is a chain reaction of upgrades. After 3 auto transmissions & put in a complete BD auto box I presume with my 2005 if I increase the HP/TQ everything behind will have to be...

I mounted a set of Firestone Airbags today and the install was so simple on my 2005 3500 dually. No drilling / special mods needed. Took about 1. 5 hous to put in :) Drove a bit with 15 PSI and was bucking like a bull unloaded. I will see & adjust when I P/Up the RV tommorow. Alan...

I too have the bluetooth option on top of the RB4 radio. It is so nice compared to any other "hands free" phone. When a call come in your radio mutes and on the radio display it will show caller ID / phone # along with a female voice that says "Incoming Call Press U-Connect to answer" Up on...

Have him stop in a RV park and talk to some gas truck owners and then he will understand about the pulling power up the mountians or even the cruising speed in the flat lands. I know many who had a high HP gas motor but they ended up to trade & go with a diesel for towing. Alan

OK now since Y'all looked :cool: Point is why is it taking Daimler Chrysler to produce one. Since Daimler Benz is the key player you would think it would be almost a given. When it comes to commercial vehicles, Daimler Benz has had a excellent track record. They own Freightliner, Unimog...

The trailer is vacuum assist and after speaking to the previous owner he had it set up this way. I purchased a 12V vacuum pump made by BlueDot rather than a engine driven one made by RedLine. The kit has a box that looks like a brake controller but it displays the amount of vacuum. I...

Well I do not have a camper but to give some insight on flat towing a 2nd vehicle a few things to consider. On flat land it should be a easy tow. in the mountains unless you have a brake buddy I recommend to disconnect and drive separate. Also think about the oil circulation in the gearbox on...

I have just purchased a used year 2000 mint cond. 42' Featherlite car hauler trailer I purchasesd from a local RV Dealer here in Houston. Question is it has those 2 big lines on the trailer & I need to set up my 2005 3500 dually for Vacuum assist. I purchased a vacuum truck kit for about...

I got a tape measure and from end to end it is about 44' total. On the spec sheet they call it a 42' Go figure :confused: It will be atached to a 3500 Dually. Thanks

I ordered from SUSPENSIONCONNECTION. COM to save a bit on shipping. OK next question :) What is a good running pressure in the bags for a max GVRW / loaded truck? The bag is say a max 100 PSI but I presume it is more of a butt & kidney factor on the driver more than anything.
