I have been battling the dreaded “steering wander” for the last few months. First Dodge installed a new steering gear box covered under warranty, then I installed a DSS, Luke’s Linked the trac bar and slapped on new rancho steering damper. I then did the “ Over-Center Adjustment” on the steering...

Hammered Sounds like I'm getting hammered. I was quoted $800 for the purchase and install of the three gauges.

What can I expect to pay a shop to install an A-pillar three gauge cluster(EGT, boost and transmission) including the purchase price of the gauges?

I have decided on purchasing a new Alumascape 31 CKS travel trailer. The 31 CKS weighs in dry at about 6,830 lbs with a tongue weight of 790lbs. I will have to take it to the scales to make sure. I am predicting a loaded trailer weight of approximately 8000lbs or so without water. Now I need...

I'm not an expert on this subject. But I had an Aljo 26' TT and had the axles flipped for $150 by a local RV repair outfit. It raised the trailer up about 5 or 6 inches. I never encountered any stablization problems. Although the trailer was pretty low to the ground to begin with. I wouldn't...

I have nearly the same suspension setup on my truck and I am looking at purchasing a fiver when I get back to the states. I am sure we will have to flip the trailer axles. I am also considering scaling down to 33" tires. My main concern is being too tall and having stability problems

Got the GVW My truck weighed in at 7,170 with a full tank of fuel and two passengers and add another 500 lbs of gear in the truck. Round that sum up to 7,700 lbs. and subtract from GCWR of 16,000 lbs. = 8,300 lbs GTVW left over. Not too bad considering that the Holdiay Ramblers that I am...

I have 01' 2500, with a 2" suspension lift. I am probably 4" or so higher than stock. Can I pull a 5er without serious mods to the 5er or truck or am I going have to stay with a travel trailer setup?

Thanks for The Info I ask my Dad to weigh the truck and send me the results. I am doing some research prior to my next TT purchase while stationed here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

I am looking at Holiday Rambler's Alumascape TT models. All but the 25' lists a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 11,000 lbs. which combined with my truck is way over my gross combined vehicle weight. That got me looking more closely at Dodges tow rating data. Now according to Dodge my truck is...

When I accelerate up a hill the rear end of my truck starts hopping usually around the 60 mph mark. The last time this happened, I was towing my 26' travel trailer over Mt. Hood Pass. I decided to conduct a couple of experiments. I pulled over and disconnected the Edge EZ Power chip. On the next...
