    Cabover camper

    Hi I'm just seeing this now; wish I would have responded sooner. I had this exact issue with my camper a few years ago. I installed Timer Grove air bags and Bilstein shocks and it has been great ever since. I have thousands of miles driving with this combo and it drives great. I have even...

    Anyone selling their truck in this crazy market?

    I've been keeping track of the KBB trade-in value of my truck for the past few weeks and so far it looks like this (Average / High): July 12th: $46,166.50 / $49,491.00 July 19th: $46,200.50 / $49,512.00 July 26th: $46,005.00 / $49,189.00 Very little fluctuation yet. I have a camping trip...

    Anyone selling their truck in this crazy market?

    I've been keeping my eye on used prices of these trucks and they are absolutely ridiculous. KBB is showing a trade-in range of $43,022 - $49,671 as of today, July 15 for my 2016 2500 Mega Cab Laramie with 80k miles. Just for giggles, I went to Car Shop (previously Car Sense here in Pittsburgh)...

    Towing and shocks

    My set up is very different than yours but I thought it would be helpful to provide my experience. I haul a Palomino SS-1251 truck camper, loaded around 3000LB on my 2016 2500 6.4L. I had Fox 2.0 shocks and it had extreme side to side body roll. Very dangerous. I swapped to Bilstein and that...

    Best Brakes

    I had the identical situation happen to me. Front right was hanging. I ended up replacing everything. One good thing about this truck is the front calipers bleed super easy. Just crack the bleeder and let it sit for a few minutes and she'll fill up on her own. Pump and bleed once and I was done...

    Best Brakes

    I have had good experiences working with Nick at Got Exhaust with the R1 Concepts rotors and Posi Quiet pads. I put slotted rotors and Posi Quiet pads on front and rear and I feel the truck stops stronger and smoother than stock. He also set me up with steel braided lines for the front and I...

    Need HID 9005 5000K Replacement Bulbs

    About 4 years ago I installed the Diode Dynamics HID kit with their 5000K 9005 bulbs. This morning I had the driver's side bulb burn out. I contacted them for a replacement but they replied that they no longer sell HID kits or bulbs. They referred me to either hidkitpros or theretrofitsource for...

    Transmission issues after gear ratio swap

    I'm coming to the conclusion that RFE transmissions are wear items. Like brake pads. I'm fully expecting to have to do a replacement in the next 70k miles. It's such a shame, the rest of the truck is awesome. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Transmission issues after gear ratio swap

    Yikes. Sorry to hear your troubles. My valve body went out at 75k. On the bright side you now have a beast of a truck. Sucks you had to get it this way but don't look back and enjoy it. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Heater Not Blowing Hot

    My truck was not getting up to temp. It would make high 180s and then drop down to 170s. To me I figured it was something with the thermostat. I bought one off advanced auto parts online with a 20% off coupon for around $70 shipped. Easy to swap out and now my temps are back up to 210 or so and...

    Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper

    A friend of mine has a 5th gen 3500 SRW Mega with Cummins and auto level suspension and said it hauled his camper well which weighed most likely north of 4,000 lbs. I doubt you'd need bags on a 3500 with that light of camper. I run 10psi unloaded and it rides very nice. I'm very happy to this...

    Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper

    Yes. This. I went through this with mine. Although, after installing air bags and stiffer shocks it hauls great but before that it was nothing short of terrifying. If you go 2500 be ready to upgrade your suspension. If you look at my posts you'll see a big write up I did on my experiences...
