    Terrible, Horrible luck TT wise. My fault though...anything I can do?

    Your not only going to over weight but underpowered, and run a chance of not being able to stop it down hill. Below a few sites that will help. But do a bit more studying. The bigger the trailer the bigger the truck. https://www.nationstrucks.com/trailer-towing-charts.htm

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    Lol I went with my wife in her 5th Gen. Bare knuckles the door handle a few times and pushed on the floorboard hoping I didn't die. I made it but now my hand is sore. I smiled all the way. Don't want to **** her off.

    Need your advice to get and setup the right Ram 3500 for our full-time RV tour life

    I'm hoping you decided on a 3500 diesel HO, living full time it an rv presents issues. Full timers tend to have over weight trailers in the first place. It would not take long to over whelm a 2500. Many here said no diesel.again gassers struggle with pulling a trailer full time. They tend to...

    I can take the heat...Give it to me straight

    With fuel eventually getting up to 8 bucks a gallon. You might think twice about that. I just did a run for 3,000 miles and it cost me a bit over 2,250 in fuel delivering a 5th wheel. 375 gallons of fuel one way. Half that coming back. Average fuel cost, 6.13 for diesel. If I had a ford...

    I can take the heat...Give it to me straight

    I had a 1 ton Chevy single wheel that went 485,000 and it towed a trailer all its life. Only freeway miles. Stop and go is harder on them than straight runs. Front end wore out after 215,000. And just rebuilt it. Not hard and pretty cheap too. I still see that truck go by my place every once in...

    Was In an accident wondering thought about what sound be still the cause of this?

    Find a frame shop.get a qoute. Thats just a start. And once the frame is found straight, anything else is easy to figure out. Basically starting out with no front end each part can easily put into the right position and adjusted

    Ram Updates: What we know so far

    I had a piece of cancer on my arm. Sun caused doctor said. It had been the 50 years. Told the doctor he is full of it. I don't have power lines up near me. But solar and wind do a fair job of keeping my house going. When it's a 115 degrees outside. It's 74 or colder inside.

    Ram Updates: What we know so far

    Since my house runs totally on solar, why can't I charge a EV vehicle? No power lines out where I live. My well is 300ft down, solar pump brings it up to tank. I van go weeks on my tesla batteries with the AC on too. Kinda sounds like the guy who told me I can't push 1200 hp with my diesel...

    How long since you’ve driven your truck

    Well if ya think about. It's not a 4cyl lawnmower. I get revenge at them quite a bit on those guys who take their muffler off. Some times I turn the fuel up all the way. Sometimes I don't. Either way I take them on the line, and sometimes I smoke em. Depends on my mood.

    Anyone switched to 87 octane?

    That still will not fix that we export more oil than we import. Only about 3% of russian oil imported is crude. How about a law we are not allowed to export our oil and use it for ourselves first? That way it won't matter what other countries pay for oil.

    Anyone switched to 87 octane?

    I. Running 30 octane, yes 30 octane, and it seems to run pretty good. I'm able to get over 600 hp out of it. And we'll over what a hemi can make with minimum changes. Still popping 27.3 miles per gallon by not changing the tuner. And just changing the tips on the injectors and a much larger...
