    Gas vs Diesel

    easy to find dsl cheaper than premium gas here too. to answer the op's question, I would sub-contract the hauling or rent/lease a truck just for the hauling season or buy gas dually for the least cash outlay and then depreciate the truck and deduct the fuel as an operating expense. always better...

    Looking for advice/opinion on buying a truck

    it looks nice and has some good options. the mileage is not bad for the number of years driven but keep in mind that at that mileage things are going to start needing to be replaced..and a loan on one that old would be for less months.

    5th wheel max weight for 2024 2500 diesel longhorn

    you probably going to have to pick a 5er that is under 10,000# or maybe keep an eye out one with a layout that minimizes pin wt. these trucks can pull a lot of wt. just a little short on load capacity.

    5th wheel max weight for 2024 2500 diesel longhorn

    not sure how a 2500 laramie dsl would only have 1600# or so unless an older model. my '22 laramie with just about every option has 2080# cargo cap and it handles our 10,000# 5th wheel fine, not even much squat. you should get it weighed and see what the real numbers are.

    suspension

    my '19 laramie 1500 4x4 ccsb with the ORP and 3.92 rear and wildpeak 20's rode great. my gm and ford owning friends would always comment about how smooth and quiet it was. the "reclining" back seats were a hit too. I once drove it straight thru from sheridan, wy to ft. worth. got in a groove and...

    HD rear Coil Spring "Upgrade"

    I have a '22 laramie 2500 4x4 ccsb with the 6.7 cummins and tow our 32' 10,000# 5th wheel with it. lighter than yours and it tows fine and I added airbags to it. hooking up the trailer only lowers the backend of the truck less than 2" so I havent even added air the last few times I towed it and...

    What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?

    a lot of in town driving will kill your average. these 8 speed trans have very low first gear. my '19 had the 8hp75 which had 5.0 first gear. I never kept track of city mileage but it was not very good. where my 5.7 3.92 shined tho was on the road.
