    Let's see your step bars

    These are tough country steps. VERY heavy and VERY Solid tubing! they actually mount to the body mounts of the truck vs hanging from the sheet metal like most do, which is why i bought these. They aren't the cheapest things in the world and took a little while to get here but they are the...

    Raced a 16 Silverado 2500hd-6.0...LOST

    We have all done stupid sh!t in our days but 100 mph racing with a snow plow and a load of salt definitely endangered many more than I've ever done... Thank god no one ran out in front of you.... Story would be better if she got out and got in your truck by the way...

    Hello, new member, first post with some questions.

    Welcome to RamForum, Tranny issues... I'm going to venture out and say that there really hasn't ever been an issue. Those who complain dont take care of their vehicle or abuse them. Many of the cummins owners complain about them after adding tuners to the motor and adding horsepower and...

    Break controller options?????

    BigBird beat me to it... The OEM is nice as it is clean and can be seen and adjusted through the steering wheel / Radio. BUT.... I feel the tekonsha P2 or P3 are far superior in function. If my truck didnt have it built in from day one i'd be installing the P3.

    Fuel filter canister removal??

    Same boat here... First fuel filter change was a b!tch... Same with my oil filter... My oil filter was on so tight that i used a wrench with the socket to grab the indents on the bottom of the filter. When i was trying to get the first filter off it actually twisted the housing of the filter...

    Educate me on Tuners for 2016 6.7

    The tuner that would be recommended would really need to be suited for what you are after doing with the truck. You said you aren't after deleting... Are you after towing power? Fuel economy? EFI live is pretty much your best bet dependent on who you utilize for the tune. If you are looking...

    So my bumper arived at the shop to get put on and......

    I am a purchasing manager with where i work. I handle most of my company's shipping and receiving as well. I too have had many claims where it was obvious the trucking company had damaged the item. I have won exactly 0 dollars back in many different claims. It becomes a packaging issue. You...

    Looking at Two trucks the difference is the engine

    Anytime you are talking 5th wheel my opinion and preference would be diesel. My wife and I had been expecting our first kid a year and half ago and traded an 06 cummins in for a 6.4 hemi to get the bigger back seat for the car seat and such... We had a 37' bumper pull camper at that time. The...

    Best 5th Wheel?

    I feel that these two are very comparable. I think it is going to come down to which one fits your design tastes better as they are all running similar equipment and seem to be of the same value across the board.

    Towing MPG

    The 5th wheel is around 12,000 loaded and the boat is a touch of 3,000.

    5er and Rambox

    Yup, this will work and is about the only option you have. I haven't done it myself but have seen a couple while out camping and had to stop over to take a look to see how it was being done.

    first time towing

    DO NOT use 4 low... 4 low is for ultimate grunt force, usually when you're stuck, pulling someone or something else out... Your max speed will be around 25 with 4 low anyways... As far as overall weight, you'll be fine.... You will want to try and load the trailer in a manner to put roughly...

    First 4500 mile trip on the truck with a few questions???

    As far as your lag, I dont believe it is throttle lag. I think it is more programming related. I've noticed it as well but seem to be able to avoid it if I roll into the throttle more so than just mashing it to the floor.... same thing at slower speeds or even from a stop. We have a spot in...

    First 4500 mile trip on the truck with a few questions???

    This is completely false. Shocks provide zero payload. Shocks serve the sole purpose of providing spring rebound control.

    fixing camper sway

    Yup my bad... complete brain fart, the 4th gen went outboard while the 3rd gens were inboard... Air bags may help, but the over all issue i feel your seeing is weighting being taken off the front suspension causing the sway... If you're running 80 psi in the front as well trying dropping down...

    fixing camper sway

    By inboard the springs, i mean they are installed closer to the center of the truck not inside the center of the springs. At least i think that is the case still. With them being inboard you are now supporting the weight with a more narrow platform vs the wider platform of where the springs...

    Buying this TT

    Gorgeous rig! Your truck will do a fantastic job for you with that! I had a 37' bumper pull weighing in around 10,000 pounds loaded up and my 6.4 hemi with 3.73's got nearly 10 mpg pulling it and never lacked power. I am assuming yours has 4.10's with reading your posts. You'll enjoy every...

    fixing camper sway

    what kind of tires and tire pressures are you running? What kind of weight is the camper at? Air bags can help but i'm not fond of them installed with a level kit. I say this as with the level you dont let the truck squat at all to accept any of the weight on to the springs of the truck in the...

    2500 vs 3500 ride difference

    Spot on with what i would say. I felt minor ride quality differences between the two. The axle wrap was noticeable however... My folks own a 3500 dually and towing my camper with theirs vs my 2500 I can feel a fair amount of the axle wrap... Is it a big deal? no, probably not. But It was...

    New 2016 2500 4x4 - Short Bed Towing 5th wheel with non-slider hitch???

    I had a 2015 Crew Cab short box pulling our 5th wheel to start with. I always told myself I'd never be that guy to tag the cab corner with it.... Long story short it happened... Fortunate for us I was the only one in the truck as I was just making adjustments to the camper and was in a local...

    A1Auto tow mirror question

    The directional functions will be off 90* as you said unless you have the tow mirror sales code flashed to the truck. I was able to find all the sales codes when i had mine installed just searching google. I printed the codes off and gave them to my tech flashing the codes. I think he just...
