My '08 6. 7 will sit for about 2 months in NJ (Jan & Feb) and in my past experience with diesels I have used fuel stabilizers. However, my owners manual states not to use any additives in the 6. 7 What are your recommendations?

I need an extension cord for my portable macerator pump and 12 v air compressor. I installed a thru the hull 12 v marine receptical so I could do away with battery clamps. The equipment draws about 15 amps max each and the receptical connection to the battery will have a 20 amp fuse. I have a...

My '08 3500 SLT has rubber valve stems. Since these stems make it hard to check/inflate the tires (especially the inside duals) I want to change them to hard stems. Called the local tire shop and was told that since mine is an '08 it has a TPMS and the rubber stems can't be exchanged for steel...

I am researching aux fuel tanks. It seems that gravity feed is the preferred method of transferring fuel to the main tank. Somewhere I read that gravity feed can overflow the main tank. Can any of you using this setup relate your experiences?

Figuring some day I might lock my keys in the truck I had Home Depot make me up a spare. I knew it wouldn't start the truck due to no chip. I just wanted a spare to hide somewhere that unlocks the door. Trouble is, it not only unlocks the door, the alarm goes off when the unlocked door is...

I am considering a portable 12v air compressor/inflator for the truck (65 psi) and trailer (80 psi) tires. Discounting the cheap (less than $40) ones and unwilling to spring for the $150+ ones, what would you recommend?

Is the factory exhaust brake on my '08 an engine brake (disables valves) or an exhaust brake? I had a Pac Brake in our old motorhome that sounded like sand in a coffee can. The brake in my '08 sounds like a Jake brake on a big tractor, only quieter. Don't get me wrong - I love the sound my truck...

We just experienced a miserable ride on I95 Northbound through SC and parts of VA (including the 295 bypass). According to the CAT scale weights we have a trailer pin weight of 4500#. This on a 33' fifth wheel with a gross weight of 11720#. I have another post seeking verification of this pin...

Two immediate changes I am going to make are replacing the flexible rubber valve stems and add mud flaps. The OEM rubber stems are too flexible to get a decent pressure reading (rear duals) or fill with air. I am thinking a bent metal extension for inside dual and short metal for outside...

Which bedliners are best? I think I want a spray on and should get it done before the hitch is installed. There are several to chose from and prices vary. What do you recommend?

Now that I have my new truck (thanks to all of you for your advice) I want to protect the paint. Has anyone tried the 3M poly paint protection system. I guess it is large plastic sheets with adhesive on the back. I just know those DRW fenders and the hood will be targets. I looked up 3M paint...

Can someone suggest a source for gauges other than the A pillar type? I need to keep the assist handle that is on this pillar. I don't think collumn types will work for me. Maybe a nice 3 gauge display to be mounted on top, middle of dash?

Will pick up the new 3500, DRW, 8' bed, truck Monday. I am thinking of an air hitch (Trailer Saver or Air Safe, or?) and a Brakesmart controller. This will be our first experience towing a 5er. Based on your experience, which hitch and which brake controller would you get?

I will be traveling 1100 miles in my new 3500 w/8' bed to pick up my fifth wheel trailer. The hitch will be installed at my destination. I will need to bring a bed full of essentials for the trailer and will want to protect them from casual theft and the weather. Some time this Summer I will...

New truck will be '08 3500,4x4,CC,auto. Will be towing a 14k fifth wheel. We will be doing flat land and mountain towing but prefer the mountains. So, 3. 73 or 4. 10, what do you think?

OK, so I've listened to all of you (I am very pleased with all of the responses - thank you!) and am leaning toward a new 3500 6. 7, auto, 4x4, DRW, CC. Provided, that is, the eBay dealer listing the new '08 is a valid (no surprises) deal. If I buy the truck out of state the return trip will be...

I am trying to decide whether to go with a 4x4 or 4x2 in my search for a 3500 DRW truck. I live in NJ and expect to tow our 14k trailer south in winter - I'm too old to enjoy snow/cold any longer. This means no snow or ice and don't intend to go off road. I have a friend that lives in FL and...

I was inquiring about installing a fifth wheel hitch in an '06 (or newer) 3500 and the hitch salesman said I would need a different mounting rail set (read more exoensive) as all Dodge trucks since '03 have "no drill frames". Apparently the rails for these trucks wrap around the frame somehow as...

Dodge has become our truck of choice since we made the decision to tow a 14k trailer. Question is, which setup? I like the idea of the auto 6 speed and the exhaust brake but am concerned about engine problems with the 6. 7 Ideally, cost wise I would like to buy a 2006 5. 9, quad cab dually 4x4...
