    Diesel Vs Gas

    Have him stop in a RV park and talk to some gas truck owners and then he will understand about the pulling power up the mountians or even the cruising speed in the flat lands. I know many who had a high HP gas motor but they ended up to trade & go with a diesel for towing. Alan

    New Dodge 6500 Medium Duty

    OK now since Y'all looked :cool: Point is why is it taking Daimler Chrysler to produce one. Since Daimler Benz is the key player you would think it would be almost a given. When it comes to commercial vehicles, Daimler Benz has had a excellent track record. They own Freightliner, Unimog...

    Vacuum Assist Brake Controler Question

    The trailer is vacuum assist and after speaking to the previous owner he had it set up this way. I purchased a 12V vacuum pump made by BlueDot rather than a engine driven one made by RedLine. The kit has a box that looks like a brake controller but it displays the amount of vacuum. I...

    Towing with 2002,DRW and Lance 1030

    Well I do not have a camper but to give some insight on flat towing a 2nd vehicle a few things to consider. On flat land it should be a easy tow. in the mountains unless you have a brake buddy I recommend to disconnect and drive separate. Also think about the oil circulation in the gearbox on...

    Firestone Airbags & B/W hitch on a 2005

    I ordered from SUSPENSIONCONNECTION. COM to save a bit on shipping. OK next question :) What is a good running pressure in the bags for a max GVRW / loaded truck? The bag is say a max 100 PSI but I presume it is more of a butt & kidney factor on the driver more than anything.

    Firestone Airbags & B/W hitch on a 2005

    I have a 2005 3500 4x4 and I recently installed a B&W hide-a-way ball hitch. Question is since the hitch bracketry wraps around the frame how can I mount the airbags as looking at the mounting it will go in the same spot? Alan
