5th Gen as towed vehicle.
2003F350 covered it pretty well. It sounds like a lot, but in only takes a few minutes to hook everything up to tow. The complete package isn't cheap, but I am happier knowing when I'm towing the car, it is done right. I did a quick look, and the braking system has a section on installs on...- Beltsand

5th Gen as towed vehicle.
I flat two a Chevy Equinox behind a Class A. In looking at what was required, there are several states that require the towed vehicle to have it's own braking. There are mechanical systems that looked like a PITA to have to set up each time you towed that we avoided. We went with a product...- Beltsand

Fifth Wheels By Keystone For 1500
These strings are always entertaining. Before we traded the 5er in on the coach, was running a heavy trailer and had to look hard to find a truck spec that did what I wanted, with the creature comforts I wanted as well. The 20% on the pin is very optimistic. Pin was 24% of trailer. Both...- Beltsand

Diesel question
The only complaint I had on the Aisin was the shift point between 2 and 3 gear. It was a little harsh, especially if trying to accelerate hard at the same time as the shift. Otherwise, the truck was a beast.- Beltsand

Warranty Argument over Bad Battery Pack - 2019 Ram eTorque
I had a 2019 Laramie with the eTorque. I had low voltage faults on a few occasions. It would just come up with a battery indicator while driving. What I found was shutting it off and giving it a few minutes (about the time it takes to refuel) would often get it to reset and start charging...- Beltsand

Suspension Upgrade
Yes, talking about a dually No, a car won't suffice as I need to tow a 5th wheel. Need to maintain payload capacity as this setup is running 26,*** lbs combined Looking at better ride unloaded without destroying the rock solid towing I have now. No air ride on the truck currently. Straight stock...- Beltsand

Suspension Upgrade
Looking into potential options to improve the ride quality on the 3500 without sacrificing the payload / tow capabilities. The stock truck is great for what I need, except it is aggravating my wife's bad back. We came across a video talking about the Kelderman 4 pt air suspension, but most of...- Beltsand

Broken in Half?
I don't disagree that this truck does not have 7800 lbs of payload, but the 4190 payload is the SRW truck. With a DRW, GVWR goes up to 14,000 lbs. Part of that extra 2300 lbs over the SRW goes into the heavier axle, tires, etc., but you do get more payload. Mine has 5256 payload on the door...- Beltsand

Truck is a '22 3500 DRW CTD HO Aisin 4.10. I am full time pulling a 5th wheel, and running on the heavy...- Beltsand

2022 CTD Injection System Failure
I was able to get a dealer to read the code, and clear out the register a few days after I posted the original message. There was a single instance in the register that matched the date showing in the app. It has not reoccurred. Nothing was changed or adjusted. Fuel35 67 commented on the...- Beltsand

RV hauler bed
I haven't, but curious how this bed option would work with things like back up camera, cargo camera, surround view cameras, and object detection sensors. Anyone know if the cameras and sensors can be remounted on this type of bed and re-programed to be effective?- Beltsand

2022 Ram 3500 Limited Bed Step Install
I'm looking at getting a bed step on mine. Sounds like either the AMP or the MOPAR are good options. Is the fit the same on a DRW as a SRW? The MOPAR site doesn't ask which you have when sorting for accessories, so thinking it doesn't matter. Just want to be sure so I don't have to deal with... -
