    8 speed trans temp

    Thanks guys!! I’ll be towing our travel trailer in a few weeks for Father’s Day weekend camping and I’ll follow up with the temps pulling it up to the reservoirs on Mt St Helens where we camp. The feedback makes me feel better for sure.

    8 speed trans temp

    Hey guys! I traded in my gray 2014 express for a white 2017 Laramie with the 8 speed. I noticed yesterday on the highway with no load that the trans temp was hovering right around 176*-180*. With my express pulling our TT, that truck would sit about 175* loaded down with dog, kids, wife, camping...

    ECCPP tow mirrors noise

    i just installed my eccpp power heated tow mirrors on my 14 ram quad cab and I filed down the front studs like recommended so the install was a breeze. However, I notice that when I shut my passenger door I can hear a rattle when the door shuts and I’m pretty sure it’s the wiring inside the...

    Trans temps while towing

    Here is the latest info. Just got back from another camping trip today and had the wife snap a pic while towing up to the site. Trans temp looks normal, it's the oil I wonder if it is normal.

    Steps

    What's everyone's go to for steps? I will be in the market after I install my bils, but don't want ones that install to the pinch welds. Preferably ones more low profile, not like the factory tubes.

    "Extra" plugs under dash?

    i think the heat may have loosened up the adhesive on these two plugs under the dash on my 14 QC express. Any idea what they're for? Sorry for the dark pics

    anti sway bars hitch

    Ahh ok. No worries. It's about 3200 lbs dry weight and 450 lbs tongue weight. Single axle. They make the r3 in different weight options. We went with the r3 400# tongue weight because when I read the specs on the hitch it is actually meant for 400-600 lbs tongue weight and the next step up was...

    After market mirrors

    Nice! How much if you don't mind me asking? I plan on pulling the trigger on new mirrors next year

    anti sway bars hitch

    We bought the recurve r3. The install instructions were a little confusing but that could be because I'm a little inexperienced with the whole towing setup. Once I slowed down and read them again it made sense. We love the recurve! We didn't want one with chains and we wanted away control but I...

    anti-sway friction bars, not my thing

    We went with the eaz lift recurve r3. Built in sway control and inverted distribution bars. No drilling into the tongue on the TT, and no chains to mess with. Also better tongue ground clearance since the bars are in line with the tongue. Reasonably priced too.

    After market mirrors

    Did you already have turn signals and puddle lights in your factory mirrors?

    I read that these don't last long and the insert piece strips out? How has everyone's luck been with this kit? For $25 it seems like a great add!

    Trans temps while towing

    With the 6 speed and towing what temp range should I be concerned with? From what I have read these have a trans cooler already so it wouldn't do much to add one right?

    Trans temps while towing

    I have the 6speed. I've checked my average driving as well and it sits about 140

    Trans temps while towing

    This is reassuring guys! I was running the ac, with all 4 kids and the wife in the truck and I estimate close to 4500lbs for the trailer. (I had the coolers and camping totes in front of the rear axle in the bed. I've never really towed at all so our first time out I was watching those gauges!!

    Trans temps while towing

    We recently bought a 2018 Coleman Lantern 21ft travel trailer. Dry weight 4300 lbs I believe with about 430tw. We are pulling it with our 2014 Ram 1500 quad 4wd hemi. Going up to the campground with an elevation gain of about 1000 ft, tow mode on, I was watching the trans temp pretty closely and...

    Brake light comes on after sudden slowing from highway speed

    i did a search and couldn't find something similar. When I am going down the highway and slightly accelerating from highway speeds and I let off the the throttle to hit the brake and slow down, occasionally the brake light on the dash will come on with a semi hard pedal and a ding noise. Fluid...
