Hi I had a 40' Wells Cargo and thought it was an excellent choice. I presently have a United UXT and it is also a fair choice and somewhat cheaper than the Wells.

It is nice, I wonder how long it will take for a meth head to crowbar all that nice work right out of there.

I have an 05 DRW 2WD long bed 3500 with the automatic and 4:10's. I have pulled heavy equipment on a gooseneck trailer from AZ through the mountains to NY and ND, average weight 30,000 GCW. I average about 9. 5 MPG across the board (10,000 miles) with flat land at about 11MPG and mountain grades...

Hi all I'm new to the site, I have a 2005 3500 with the auto transmission. I have a lot of experience building forced injection gas motors, none in diesel. I'm wondering about the advisability of using the computer over-write boxes vs. a kit (Banks) to improve power. I use the truck to pull a...
