    Traded 2015 6.4 Hemi for 2019 3500 HO Cummins

    So I bit the bullet and traded my 15 6.4 Hemi for a shiny new 2019 3500 Limited with the HO 6.7 Cummins. I used the Hemi for 28,000 miles mostly pulling my 7500 lb boat and my 2018 Vengeance FB2613 bumper pull toy hauler, both of which the Hemi pulled very well... as long as I kept the gas hose...

    2020 GMC 3500 and Andersen hitch

    I am looking at upgrading my 2015 Chevrelet 3500 to a 2020 GMC 3500. Called Anderson and they said the height had increased on the new vehicle and would probably need their hitch that was higher. Anyone with any experience with the new GMCs or taller Anderson hitch? My fifth wheel is running...

    Rocker switch for RAM 3500 tongue jack

    Hi all - last week when we got home from our desert trip the rocker switch for the tongue jack broke (one of the little nubs is sheered off). I did some searches for a replacement switch and eTrailer has the switch but dang, it seems a bit pricey (more than 25% of the cost of a new jack!). I...

    FIC 3500lb 2nd Generation Electric Tongue Jack Cover

    I hope someone can help with tips to remove the cover. I have taken all the screws out of both sides (perhaps somewhat of a mistake - either one of the main 6 or 8 screws was missing or I lost it somewhere along the line) and been able to remove the switch panel, but no luck splitting the two...

    2500HD to 3500HD conversion

    I have researched my 04 Chevy 2500HD, 8.1 gas w Allison and 373 gears and the only difference between it and the 3500 is suspension. Same axles, same brakes etc. So I'm thinking about adding air bags, Sumo springs or something similar to increase the load carrying capacity and using the 3500...

    Running 13500 BTU A/C With Honda 2200i

    I've investigated here and elsewhere the possibility of running my 13500 BTU air conditioner using a single Honda 2200i generator. Most reports recommended using a hard-start capacitor which I don't currently have. I thought I'd just give it a try and to my surprise the compressor kicked on...

    I came to my ponderings after finding out i owe a larger tax amount because Virginia DMV gave us truck plates. So looking at the title, they have empty weight, gross weight, GVWR, GCWR fields. Only the empty weight of 7370 and the gross weight of 12200 have any numbers there. Looking at the...

    Unlifted Ram 3500 4x4 too tall for 5th wheel?!!!

    Is Ram 3500 4x4 SRW too tall to tow a coachmen lite 30RLS 5th wheel?

    Planning to upgrade our trailer to a 5er - we like the coachmen lite 30RLS. It measures 60” to the bottom of the cab. Tow vehicle would be Ram 3500 SRW 4x4 that measures 59” to the top of the bed rails. Obviously there’s a clearance issue. The pin weight is 1500 lbs dry. How are people...

    Anyone running sway pro hitch with ram 3500 SRW? I am expecting my truck to come in around 5/2 and RV trip 5/4. I know the shank that came with the hitch (7hole) isn't going to work with the taller truck. So, if anyone has this setup, does the 9 hole shank work, or, should I get the 11 hole...
