6.4 Hemi 2500 Towing Advice, Please...
Is your WDH rated for the heavier trailer? I towed a 13,000 lb generator across the country with my gas 2500, no issues..- BlkZrx

Determining Towing Capacity from Online listings
What's the loaded tongue weight of your trailer? A 1500 will manage a 25 ft camper easily, as long as you have the load capacity. You run out of payload much faster than towing capacity..- BlkZrx

Transmission thermostat bypass failures?
I put the bypass on my 4th generation 6 speed, it runs 30 to 50 degrees cooler. I received some feedback from an "expert" that it's bad for my transmission. Has anyone had issues?- BlkZrx

Camper size?
Newer trailers have both a gvwr and the advertised dry/empty weight. Your actual trailer weight will be closer to the gvwr after you load it up for use. To be safe, figure a 15% tongue weight of that gvwr. My 7500 lb empty trailer weighs 8600 without water, but ready to go.- BlkZrx

I purchase all the fluids/filters for my 2500 myself and have my independent mechanic take care it. Last full transmission service was less then $600. -
Unstable Towing with our 1500
Those nice riding, passenger car tires they put on half ton trucks are not conducive to controlling a swaying billboard size load. Get some stiff, E range truck tires on it.. Sent from my SM-A516U using Tapatalk- BlkZrx

What I need to tow TT
Big fan of the Equalizer 4 point WDH. Hitch is extra but TT dealers will usually give you a break on price when you buy a trailer. A 22 to 25 foot trailer would work well with your truck. I went to a 3/4 ton when I moved up to over 30 foot.. Sent from my SM-A516U using Tapatalk- BlkZrx

2500 vs 3500
A negative for the Aisen transmission is it's 30,000 mile service interval.. Can you still buy a manual tranny with the 3500 diesel? Sent from my SM-A516U using Tapatalk- BlkZrx

Towing Capacity Question
Ignore "towing" capacity rating. What you need to pay attention to is the trucks payload capacity. How much can you put in the truck, including cargo, passengers, hitch and tongue weight.. Sent from my SM-A516U using Tapatalk- BlkZrx
