    confused about tow mode

    A two part question. 1) Once I select the tow brake page from the steering wheel display and fill out the details (electric brakes for instance . . .), is there anything else I have to do in order for the tow brakes to work? And 2) to get into tow mode, do I just push the button on the dash...

    DC-DC charger install in 3500

    I want to install a DC-DC charger in my 4th gen 3500 dually, to plug into my travel trailer. But how to run the cables? The only opening in the bed is already occupied by a 30A plug. I want to avoid cutting any new holes but I need run a pair of 4gauge cables up to the pax side battery. Any...

    disconnecting 7-pin charging fuse

    I'm installing a DC-DC charger in my 2018 3500. So I'd like to know if there's a way to disconnect just the 12V charger from the 7-pin cord.

    Egg zackly. This guy has more than a problem with his truck; he has a problem with reality.

    Broken in Half?

    Glad you brought up physics. Note how much the camper extends the length of the rig. That creates a significantly longer lever between the 900 pounds of engine on the front, to the extreme weight of the camper at the back. A lever takes the downward torque at the business end and well...

    Tornnau Cover 2022 Big Horn

    That's what I have. It ripples a bit in the wind, but that's the only negative. Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with it.

    Consider this air horn install

    I'd like to install a single air horn on my 3500. I want to avoid attaching the compressor underneath because I live up north where they apply a chemical and salt combo to the roads, destroying anything including the roads. So I was thinking about mounting the compressor to the front wall of...

    Only 1 12V outlet?

    I've got a 2018 Lariat package Ram 3500. So far I've only been able to find one 12V cigarette lighter type outlet on the dash. Is there another that I'm overlooking? I need one for my trailer rear camera monitor, and another for a CB radio. Scratching head in bamboozlement.

    diesel stabilizer

    For the kerosene burners. Does anyone throw some kind of stabilzer in the tank? Something like Sta-bil? I used to use this a lot with my marine diesels. If I didn't, it was only a matter of time before I'd have a little zoo in the tank. But I'm wondering how necessary it is with a truck...
