    Pulling trailer with 1500 Dodge Ram

    Hi Just some advice for traveling in the mountains heading down 75. It’s a V-6. Trailer is a 25 feet RTL 2506s. We have taken 75 from Ohio to Florida at least 20 times. But never with a trailer.

Do you have your hitch turned with the ball forward or behind the gooseneck ball? I have factory 17" wheels and tires with the factory goose neck and puck system. My fifth wheel...

    Chevy 4500 Sunseeker brake controller

    Hi all, I've seen a few posts of people asking where the wires are to connect a brake controller. I've torn apart all the trim and carpet on the driver's side on my 2012 Chevy 4500 chassis converted to Sunseeker 2300. I can find no blue or black wire although there are blue and black wires...

    Dealer wants almost $500 to install a Tekonsha Prodigy P3

    Is that crazy? I can buy the controller and the harness for less than $150 on amazon. Based on videos, its just a plug-n-play for a newer Silverado LT with towing package. What you say?

    Question on Tradesman 2500 Seats

    Narrowed my selection for my new truck down to the 2019 Ram 2500 Tradesman as that is all my retirement can fund. Have all the specs down and have taken a 30 minute test drive but would be really interested to know from long term owners if the driver/passenger seats are up top par for those 350...

    2013 Solera 24R 5500 miles Front Cap seam separation on Passenger side

    Does anyone know how to access the the inside of the front cap as mine is separating at the seam. There appears to be screws holding it together and water must have gotten in and rusted the screws off. I have not had any water come into the cab. Is there any diagrams or pictures of how to access...

    I know this was discussed before, and bclemens was working on a list of Ram dealers to perform service on these motorhome chassis'. Was this list ever made? I received a safety recall U11/NHTSA 18V-100 for "Brake Transmission Shift Interlock", and every Ram dealer I call in my area says they...

    Kelderman 2 Stage Front Air Suspension kit for Isata 5 Ram 5500

    The Isata 5 36DS on the Ram 5500 is a great combination. I like the power of Cummins engine and the chassis provides an overall stable, smooth ride. Dynamax has done a good putting together this combo. However, where the ride gets problematic is when the road gets a little rough. You know...

    15,000 BTU Coleman a/c

    On our 2017 Rockwood 2715VS, I’ve noticed that switching the a/c fan speed between LO and HI doesn’t change the speed very much. Is this normal? A/c is Coleman 15,000 BTU.
