    Maxxd7000 lb dump trailer surging

    I agree. That hitch extension is your problem..that creates leverage on receiver..I pull a much heavier dump loaded with no issues

    Seized lug nuts

    If the lugs broke why are they drilling with wheel on? Wheel should come off and replace lug studs

    Another towing thread

    I personally don't like the Goodyear tires that came on my 17 RAM..I drive 5 miles each way to my camp and every time I pulled one on my trailers on that limestone road, I had a flat. The limestone actually cut thru the tires!..I changed to FALKEN LT tires and never cut another tire. My 21 RAM...

    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    I doubt OEM engines designed it to keep temps at 238 degrees all day..It seems to me it was to aid in extreme cold weather .I ve seen engines running that hot lose head gasket seal pretty quickly

    Battery fluctuations

    Continued for a few days then went back to normal.Couple weeks later started again.Stopped by dealer, was told if no CEL, no problem. 2 days later, at 6 am, dead battery!! Guess it was a problem.

    Battery fluctuations

    It never did this before. So you think it's normal? It drops about 50% for 5 to 10 seconds, then returns to normal with no lights or additional load on it? AND repeats in 15 seconds .without stopping.Never seen any charging system do that before. But no CEL .
