    Need payload of 5400 Lbs

    My 2022 Big Horn 3500DRW/ Crew Cab Long Bed CTD/HO/Aisin 4.10 has a payload of 4847lbs. That's with the 5th wheel prep, hitch, steps, spray in bed liner, 50 gallon fuel tank and all other options as installed at the factory. As you can see all of these eat into the payload quickly. I have a 17K...

    Light Bar/Aux Switches

    It's on the dashboard (where your gas mileage etc is), not the radio.

    Light Bar/Aux Switches

    Theoretically you could take the relay's out as the factory switches run off a relay. I did not because I didn't want to screw up the lights original make up. My switch that came with the lights had a three way switch, middle position lit it up, the other two positions ran either the DRL of the...

    Light Bar/Aux Switches

    You program from the dash evic, it's under commercial then enter four zeros. Should become self explanatory from there but if not ask away :)

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I feel your pain! Did mine a few months ago, even with the truck on a lift it was still a pain, my next truck will have the factory puck system for sure!

    Test drove an '18 Tradesman CTD...

    I have an '18' Tradesman 3500 w/6.4 liter Hemi and an 8 foot bed. The truck is a towing beast which was the main reason I bought it. I would love to have the CTD but not in the cards this time. It rides rough except when loaded with my 5th wheel then it rides like a Cadillac, sort of :)...

    Drag Link Recall ... Video

    Had mine done today, I lease the truck so figured it was best to do whatever FCA says to do. The service manager said he expects replacement parts in the future but could not predict when!

    Towing: Gas vs diesel debate, 1500 & 3500

    I tow a 12,500 5th Wheel with the 3500 6.4L SRW and have no issues at all. I would love to have the diesel but the expense was just a bit too much (maybe in a few years). The truck likes to make noise when its pulling but it has no issues keeping 65mph uphill. On my last 125 mile trip I averaged...

    Brake Control

    This one is generally considered as one of the better aftermarket controllers. https://www.amazon.com/Tekonsha-90195-Electronic-Brake-Control/dp/B000P17NXQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2MO8FARJBRMU4&keywords=p2+brake+controller&qid=1556067390&s=gateway&sprefix=p2+br%2Caps%2C901&sr=8-4

    Lets see what you are towing.

    Did the same thing a few years ago with CW and a different RV, never to return, ever!

    Lets see what you are towing.

    First tow, very impressed! Cougar 368MBI, weighs about 13,500 ready for camping. Best tow vehicle I have owned so far!

    5th Wheel w/2018 2500

    Correct, and then add the hitch weight, passengers, wood and any other camping stuff! And remember the posted hitch weight is the dry weight, it will be more! For instance my dry pin weight is 1980lbs but ready to camp I'm around 2800lbs. My particular payload is 4100lbs but of course I added...
