    Auxiliary In Bed Fuel Tank Install

    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.

    RV house batteries for dry camping?

    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!

    RV house batteries for dry camping?

    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...

    2016 Gear hunting when towing

    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...

    Fire danger of not keeping a RV refrigerator within 3 degrees of level: solutions

    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!

    2016 Gear hunting when towing

    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...

    Overloaded or not!

    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...

    Overloaded or not!

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

    Overloaded or not!

    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...

    Overloaded or not!

    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...

    Putting DEF in tank

    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.

    3500 OEM air ride vs standard spring pack, is there a difference in ride

    I like the ride with the level air but didn't have a way to compare it to the stock springs. Your comment about the single leaf with air is not correct, at least on my 2016. I have several leafs in the spring pack, not just one, so even if the air malfunctioned I doubt it would leave you...

    Help Prior to ordering new 2017 3500

    Temps and cruise control

    In response to a question about the boost, it runs about 1/4 to 1/2 most of the time and when pulling a large hill it will go to 3/4 on the gauge, looks to me like it is doing fine. During the last tow it would not hold 6th even at 66 and above if on cruise and level ground, as before no loss of...

    Temps and cruise control

    Not exactly but I did find the boost gauge, changed the trans view to it so I can watch it. Don't have the tire pressure or the SD card but other than that it is the same. Thanks! Didn't remember the boost gauge until I went through the menu again. Did take it out without the trailer and the...
