What is a normal oil and transmission temp range for our trucks?

Also on the trip up, we took Monteagle down @6% and the truck held 60mph all the way down the mountain. The grade shifting from the 8HP75 was excellent.

Did a last minute trip up to Pigeon Forge, TN from North Alabama (about 500 miles round trip). Trip up: 8.7 mpg (@65mph) with light winds (<5mph). Trip back: 7.7mpg (@63mph mostly) with steady head/quartering winds of 12mph+). Truck was moving around on the way back but didn't feel unsafe. We...

Well I dunno, I plug 2 different 2020 4wd CC Laramie VINs (similar to myles) into the Ram site and get payloads of: 1. 1215#; with air suspension 2. 1800#; without air suspension o_O

We are in a 5th gen forum discussing 5th gen tow/haul mode. I have never had MDS activate while towing with tow/haul mode engaged (over 600 miles to date) with my 2019 Ram DT.

All new 1/2 ton trucks (as far as I know) have tow rating established by the SAE J2807 standard. It use to be arbitrary and manufacturers would sometimes be overly generous (imo) in their tow ratings (cough cough Ford). We had a 2010 Expedition with the heavy duty tow package rated at 9200# max...

May try timbrens first since they are a low mass option. Then if you still need airbags (more mass) then you can get airbags and have the safety backup of the timbrens if you ever have an airbag failure. x2 on the payload, Im at ~1771# with a relatively modestly equipped Bighorn (purchased for...

CORRECTION: When tow/haul mode is selected my truck will shift into 8th, just not while towing our travel travel.

I've towed +600 miles in my 19 and ALWAYS use tow/haul and dont recall my truck ever shifting into 8th gear, it always stays between 5th and 7th.

That is incorrect. When tow/haul mode is selected no MDS.

Would the cost have been less if you were upgrading from a 26gal to 33gal(additional brackets, sensors, harness, etc)?

I dont understand the purpose of a $343 wired kit and you still have to buy the camera. You would be much happier with this wireless option (if compatible)...

They can only deny the claim if they can PROVE that the use of a non-oem product caused the damage.

Always in tow/haul mode, it will save your transmission. If you don't engage tow/haul it will allow the transmission to shift into 8th, then back down, then back up...needless shifting and wear on your transmission shifting in and out of OD 8th.

What about the 3.42s???:cool:

We are getting ~8.3ish mpg traveling along the Appalachian mountains on I-24 and I-75 @65mph. Truck holds 65mph on the dot even going up some of the hills (White Oak Mountain/Ringgold Gap) around there. Funny thing is we get a solid 8.5mpg on the interstates but as soon as we pull onto the...

Thanks for the write up. Losing low end torque is a net loss for the people who tow...

I'm getting 8-8.5 mpg @ 65mph towing a 26ft/5900# TT mostly interstate...

@ 75mpg 6.5mpg sounds reasonable. Your comparing apples to oranges (Hemi vs. Duramax) mpg wise. Think of the money saved over the initial cost of a diesel...a lot of gas to buy for that. 75mph seems pretty high towing, especially for a 1/2 ton...be safe.
