    Aftermarket Air Bags -SRW 2018 3500

    I had airbags on my 2001 F250. Looking for recommendations on brand of airbags.

    Aftermarket Air Bags -SRW 2018 3500

    Camper is about 3300# wet. Tires rated for 3640#. Yes is a big load, and does set the rear down, and put nose up to the point headlights are pointing up. Truck handles the load great. Very stable, stops great. Really only issue I have is the nose is high and I get people flashing me to turn my...

    Aftermarket Air Bags -SRW 2018 3500

    Love my new truck - 2018, CC, 3500, Shortbed, 4WD, Diesel, Aisin. A big change from my old 2001 Ford F250. Truck handles the load of my heavy camper and trailer, but the rear end gets low, and front end high. Was hoping to avoid adding air bags, but think that is my solution. Thoughts and...

    Relocate tailgate camera to a camper

    Brandmotion sent me the harness with the correct plug. Seems to work great. Only complaint is the harness is LONG, but I can zip tie the extra length together. Not if I can just get them to send me a return label for the wrong part. They said would mail, said would email, but do not get it. So...

    Relocate tailgate camera to a camper

    Could not find this new model on Amazon, had to order direct from Brandmotion. Arrived in a week, but came with a female end on the end of the cable, which needs to plug into the female end on my truck. Cord was way long. Talked to them today and they are having new one sent, along with a return...

    Relocate tailgate camera to a camper

    Called them today. The 7453 model is good for 2017 and up. Should do the trick. Now need to check prices on Amazon and elsewhere. Thx

    Relocate tailgate camera to a camper

    thanks. I will give them a call tomorrow. Sounds like the lead may be too short for my needs. Will keep you posted on what I end up with.

    Relocate tailgate camera to a camper

    Thanks. Looks exactly what I am looking for. A few questions : They list this for 2013 - 2016 Rams. Mine is 2018. Do you know if they changed the plug in 2017? How long is the extension wire? Appreciate your help.

    Relocate tailgate camera to a camper

    Not sure this is the right forum to post this question, but think only the 4th gen trucks have tailgate rear back up cameras. After 17 years with a Ford PSD that was a great truck, I bought a 2018 3500 short bed, CC. Did first trip with our old camper (over 3000 pounds) and could not be happier...

    Leveling w/ the camper on

    My old 2001 Ford had "camper overload" springs that were above and separate from the main rear springs. Does Dodge offer that on some model, and could they be added to a SRW 2018?

    Leveling w/ the camper on

    Just did my first trip with 2018 3500 CC Short Bed with our 2011 Artic fox 811 that weighs over 3000 pounds. What a difference from the 2001 Ford 7.3 PSD. Ford had plenty of power, but had sway and hard to control descents. I had an exhaust brake, but you really had to manage the trannie. The...

    2018 3500 diesel, single axle, Aisin

    Did not order mine. I found in searching inventory within 200 miles of me. Found it online, had exactly what I was looking for. The vehicle was in route, I negotiated deal while it was in transit and got it about 3 weeks later. Dealership drove 200 miles to have my sign papers at my house. And...

    2018 3500 diesel, single axle, Aisin

    Thanks. I have a rear window defrost button, and assume rear window defrost given it is a Laramie.

    2018 3500 diesel, single axle, Aisin

    Very happy with the truck so far. Only have 1300 miles on it. Getting 17 mpg so far (manual calc), computer says 18.5. Question - how do you activate the heated rear view side mirrors? Are they automatic?

    2018 3500 diesel, single axle, Aisin

    Thanks. A big change from the 250 hp / 505 ft lb torque from the 7.3. I have not put camper on yet, or towed heavy trailer, but should be a big difference. Really looking forward to the bigger brakes, factory exhaust and trailer brakes. Did fine with my Ford for 17 years, but the change should...
