    Air Bag Reviews (Timber Grove or others?)

    Compressor isn’t necessary but nice if have an extra $400. Use them for a heavy bed load or as a great compliment to a WDH. They really help to support dampen & control the rear suspension when towing a heavy load and you hit rough uneven pavement such as the inside of many curves. However...

    4th gen vs 5th gen

    Well if the 5th gen has a longer wheelbase that might make a notable difference. The main thing with towing stability is in the setting up of tongue & axle weights with your WDH & other weight distribution. This is concretely do-able with a CAT scale. If you just hook your camper up blindly...

    Well Doc if rumor/goal is right order by March 30 & receive by June. Hoping Allpar or this site has more leaks about the ED soon. If not likely see some announcement in January. I procrastinated 6 months for the 8 speed then waited a year for the ED. Looking back it wasn't so bad and since I...

    The Airstream was a 30' floorplan Classic at 7,600 pounds. I've since moved 33 Classics to 8,700 pounds. Truck is rated to tow 8,800. The 33' floorplan Forrest River Wildcat Maxx had 3 slides and weighed 9,086 and the boat about 9k with a bedload of four rims and tires plus tools. CVW on the...

    EcoDiesel power bump?

    Yeah I never got the extra cost of maintenance except that some dealerships raped their customers on the cost of oil and fuel filter changes. When mine was new I had the dealership change my oil for $120 plus tax. Since then I change my own with T6 which with filter cost about $65. Like...

    2019 Ram 1500 have diesel available?

    They have had a higher than acceptable failure rate. Sure duty cycle and maintenance matter but it still largely seems to be either a you got a good one or you didn't. Fortunately they are covered for 100k not 60 and replaced with a new engine plus balance of warranty or available full warranty...

    Considering 2018 Ram Laramie Crew Diesel

    I’m sure Lawman is gone but I want to reply as many will read this thread. My suggestion for your use is to consider the Pentastar. Competitive mileage & better value than the comparable Ford IMO and yes less money. Current diesel emissions systems are not ideal for daily short commute. Thanks...

    Reliability has been good. At least IMO & relative to how it’s been worked. I bought a GDE tune to turn off EGR & better manage regens. Think that’s helped a lot with both longevity & emissions. Also bought cheap easy 2 button Bosch OBD 1000 scan tool to read & clear codes. This allows you to...

    Hey all great looking new forum. Briefly my scoop I bought a 14 Ram ED ended up contracting to deliver Airstreams then other TTs & boats taking them from the Mfgs to dealerships nationwide. Normally you would select an HD diesel but as I already had it and AS are only bumper pulls its worked...
