fthorsby... My truck is brand new... had about 2900 miles on the odometer when I left my driveway, has about 3600 now. When comparing the DEF consumption to my last F350, the two could be similar. Frankly, it could all be in my head because I now have a gauge to look at to actually observe...

gsbrockman... Sounds like you know the area well. I completely agree with your assessment!!! I'm just down the road in Mooresville, NC. Jay

Cummins12V98... I'm considering the transferflow bed tank. Based on the rate of DEF consumption on this trip, I'm guessing I have about 1000 mile DEF range. If I add a 75 gallon bed diesel tank (plus my 32 gallon oem tank), my fuel range should be close to my DEF range. I'm not a marathon...

SNOKING.... I actually purchased a funnel for convenience. Left the one under the seat so it will be there when I really need it!! I've been trying ARCHOIL AR6200 to see if it had any negligible impact to fuel economy; especially while towing. I haven't been able to discern any difference...

Towing observations.... Just towed my 5th wheel up to Elkhart, IN to have independent suspension and disc brakes installed. Not too far... about 675 miles from my home in NC. To date, it is the farthest I've towed with the RAM 3500. After spending 13 hours on the road, I've had the following...

Hebrtx... It's Granite Crystal Metallic. Jay

I appreciate the education. I was also scratching my head wondering why the weight on the front axle was unchanged. Jay

Cummins12v98... That's a beautiful Mobile Suites.... Looks great with your truck! Nice to know the air ride will level the truck with a monster like that hitched to it. Jay

gsbrockman.. My curiosity got the best of me after your post. Stopped by local CAT scale and weighed truck (with full fuel and def) and then weighed with truck and empty 5th wheel (empty water tanks, empty fuel cells, empty garage). Results for truck: steer axle: 5,140 drive axle: 3,720 gross...

Thanks Cummins12v98. Yes, I have the factory rear air. Seems to do a pretty good job and it's nice that it's integrated with the truck. I haven't had the axles weighed yet. I'm actually in the process of scheduling a trip to MORryde (Elkhardt, Indiana) to have independent suspension and disc...

Here's a pic I took on the way home. Cummins chugs along like a freight train...

Appreciate the warm welcome. I'm camping this weekend. I'll post some pics when I get home. Jay

Hello everyone... Made the jump from a 2015 F350 dually power stroke to a 2015 Laramie Limited crew cab dually (Cummins / aisin 4.10). I've been wanting to do this for a couple of years, but the "voices in my head" kept talking me out of it. I finally said the heck with it and jumped in. This...
