I've used a 95 gallon RDS gravity fed tank since 2011 first in a Chevy, now in a 2016 Ram, no problems what so ever with it overfilling, check valve does it's job. The Ram had a full metal filler tube that had to be cut out for the filler kit, no factory hose on this one.

Well shucks, I added to the first post, it added a second and can't delete it so forgive me for screwing this up. Need a delete the post key!

From what I read just go with the 2 12V batteries like the interstate at 105 AH +2 = 210AH in parallel, almost as much as two 6 volts with the larger AH of 232 unless you get the cheaper ones, put some more solar on and add the charge controller. Way easier than relocating batteries and still...

Welcome to my world Rusty, the TSB fixes it!

I'm happy with it now that the cruise is fixed, tows well, rides good. The trailer is around 16,500 and fully loaded with fuel, genset, and misc other stuff I am at 27000 LBS down the road. It gets between 10-11 MPG towing at 64 MPH and I've seen 18-19 highway not towing at 65MPH. It only has...

I didn't get the number but found out the info on the Gen 4 forum at the following link: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/257538-Technical-Service-Bulletin-in-Oct-2016-TSB-08-082-16-ITBM

Well, guess we have been lucky but a 1980's motorhome with a Norcold, a 2003 fifth wheel with a Dometic, and now a 2011 fifth wheel with a 10 cubic FT Norcold no problems yet, knock on wood!

I posted about this issue shortly after buying my 2016 CC Dually with the Aisin with 4:10 gears, it would drop from 6th to 5th and right back to 6th every 5-10 seconds without losing any speed when in cruise which made using cruise worthless. There is a TSB out there for this problem, took it in...

Thanks guy's, I hadn't looked at the tire pressure chart and adjusting air pressure is MUCH easier than changing hitch position. Since I now know what my weights are I can adjust things and see how that works, also this is as heavy as it will ever be so should be in good shape. Good info...

Just a thought, since I have a 2x4 vs a 4x4 wonder if the front axle is rated different? Bet that is why.

According to my door sticker the front axle is rated at 5500 LBS so it is close. However its the feel of the truck that makes me want to change it back, do know that 1298 recommended it fully forward. On edit, yes, I do have 80, TPI indicates 84 down the road for the front and shows 75-77 rear...

Well, I promised to weigh and come back with the results. In lieu of pictures here is the results. Truck by itself, Steer 5280, drive 5000, gross 10280 With trailer, steer 5320, drive 8400, trailer axles 13280 GCVW 27000 LBS , GVW of truck 13680, GVW of trailer 16680 So...truck is in good shape...

I'll answer this question when we get on the road South for the winter and stop at a Cat scale but in the meantime wonder what you think. Pin is around 3200, bed has a fuel tank holding 95 gal of diesel, generator 110lbs, 20 gal propane tank, 2 five gal gasoline containers full, Companion 25k...

I too use the house brand at WW, always check the date on the bottle and get the freshest one, just dump it in when below half a tank.
