    Does anyone know if you can add a factory trailer brake controller?

    sure can... easy to install. Well all but 1 bolt is PIA. but yes it can be done. if memory serves me correct, you need to enable it in computer.

    CTD Flaw: Heater Grid Bolt

    why do you say your draining the batteries. With the size of double batteries, i think your far from draining them. Using them, sure. draining. don't think so. Is that what you meant by "draining"?

    12V charging through 7-way connector

    Yup, mine is that way... Battery wont matter at all. Oh by the way, turn off the Propane when you are done for the weekend and empty the fridge. Forgot last trip and have 1 empty bottle to fill up... :Stupid Me:

    12V charging through 7-way connector

    This is also helpful, the LiFePo batteries will suck all your ALT can put out. killing your alternator. Good to have in the circuit to prevent killing the Trucks Alternator.

    HD coils

    sorry you think the coils are garbage. I loved my 2015 1500. Carried loads no issue, even a 6k TT. I did put air bags to level it out. W/O a trailer, that thing drove like a cushy car. We drove it everwhere... Ive got nothing for your request.

    Best reducer for hitch 2.5 to 2 inch. And why did Ram go with 2.5 on this gen?

    exactly... we all like the increased towing capacity.

    RAM 2500 6.4 vs Cummins for Travel Trailer with 7500lb GVWR

    When we got the trailer, and my 1500 was pushing 98k. this was bid deterrent for me. Yes many 5.7 out with no problems. Given the weight and CTD pulling up hills, i went CTD. I dont drive slow, and hated how that 5.7 would scream. I dont know, but imagine the 6.4 will do the same.

    5.7 E torque towing capacity 12,750 when properly equipped*; what does that mean?

    so so true, when i traded in the 1500, started driving the 2500 regularly... wow. so harsh. but its a big truck, not a cadillac like the 1500

    5.7 E torque towing capacity 12,750 when properly equipped*; what does that mean?

    Ya know, it reminds me of restaurants. Ever go to BK and see that nice juice burger on the wall.... Then you open up the wrapper at the table, hmmm not quite the same.

    5.7 E torque towing capacity 12,750 when properly equipped*; what does that mean?

    LOL... Ram not happy with F150 claims for the past few years. Yea it takes a stripped down truck without extras, like 2nd cab 4x4 etc. those all add weight to the truck removing it from capacity.

    Get your actual weights! don't guess

    where do you get truck weight with full tank at 3800lbs Where do you get 3800lbs with full tank of fuel?

    Towing with a 3.6L V-6 what is safe and realistic for this engine

    Ya might want to rent a few trailers before hand. Take them out for a weekend, drive them over some hills to get to camping. See what they feel like.

    2017 2500 Laramie 6.7 Cummings towing 17 ft cargo trailer

    YES. The door sticker does not distinguish loaded or unloaded. As much as I would like a lower setting for NOT towing for more comfy ride daily

    Cost to have the differential and transfer case oil changed.

    ha ha ha, you would laugh at me. I have sloped drive way, so i pull out of the driveway enough so the truck will level, leaves a nice big gap under it. Changed trans, diffs, TC & oil. pulled back in and swapped out the fuel filters. I think it was about $1200 for all fluids / filters. Mind you...

    Transmission Cooler

    Yes I know it can fail. I don't see how this block will decrease temps? is there a line size reduction causing lower flow? I don't see why they need this. its not emission related.

    Transmission Cooler

    I thought the reason for the bypass is to not use the thermostat in the block which routes the fluid back to trans for quicker warm ups. If you are driving down the road for lets say 30 min, thermo opens and fluid goes to the cooler.

    How to find my towing capacity/

    your yellow door sticker should give you all the weights on there for per axle and GVRW - basically combined weight. I dont have the link anymore, if you search this site / towing hauling, there are many threads on tow weights. In some posts there are links to the Ram site for what you can tow...

    Thinking of upgrading to a 2500 should I get Gas or Diesel?"

    just to give you another data point. I was similar to you. I have a 6k TT we recently got. Found out it was within the weight tow limits of my 2015 1500 5.7. For 2 seasons we used it. Yup winds up pretty good on the hills, mpgs w/o trailer 14 +/-. Great as daily driver. we only use the camper...
