    Rear Support

    For those that have, or will, put on a Hellwig bar, I’d like to hear if it helped. I’m not quite sure what it is intended to do, or how much difference it would make. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shudder/shake from rear end at very slow speeds, typically while turning.

    I have an a service appointment first week of October. Hope to learn more then. My research seems to confirm the OP - it’s limited slip differential clutch chatter. Different gear oil and additive might help - if the dealer plays dumb I may swap it myself. Most of us with this issue seem to be...

    Monroe Magnum Loaded Rear Shocks

    I don’t but am interested if these help with towing. Are there other similar struts from other companies? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing impact to battery / alternator

    I've been towing a lot this summer with a new 2020 Ram 1500 Long Horn 5.7 non-etorque hemi. It has the stock 160 amp alternator (not optioned up). My dashboard digital gauges indicate the charging system is normally around 14.2 v. However, on long towing days (>4 hours), most of which have...

    Shudder/shake from rear end at very slow speeds, typically while turning.

    Hi all, I’m having the same issue! Also could have written the first post - same symptoms. I have a 2020 Big Horn with the 3.92 anti-slip rear end. This showed up around 3500 miles and the truck now has 5100 miles. We are towing an 8000 lb travel trailer. The only thing I can add to the convo...

    Suggestions on Trailer Tow Mirrors

    Mtsabo, do you use anything to protect the mirror? I have body colored mirrors and don’t want to scuff them from vibrations / wind. Tnx. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Support

    Agree that the WDH is a must, but still had some sag so I put in the Timber Grove bags. Love the bonus of boosting the truck up to help with hitching. Here are some photos of bags installed. The air line is routed around the spare tire and tucks into the bumper cover near the hitch. Easily...

    Rear Support

    I’m towing a 28’ TT, about 8000 lbs and 1100 lbs tongue weight. Using an e2 WDH (for now). Rear sagged a few inches, so I installed Timber Grove bags. Clean install, really helped with sag. After I dialed in my WDH I found that adding 15-20 PSI brought the truck back to level (about 2-3”). The...

    Factory trailer brake controller - can it work automatically below 15 mph?

    I’m also experiencing this. Feels like trailer brakes stop working around 10-15 mph. Definitely unnerving when pulling up behind traffic. I’ve learned to anticipate it and just get into the brakes harder as I slow down. I’m towing ~8000 lbs and have controller set to Heavy Electric with gain...

    Transmission cooler

    I think all the 5.7L hemi engines come with a transmission cooler... I have lines running back to the tranny but it's hard to see how big the cooler actually is. When I looked into it before purchasing, I think the 1500 didn't really have a "tow package" that was needed to get the cooler - it...

    First Tow Report with TT

    Nice! Thanks for the report. We're doing our first tow next weekend with a Jayco 28BHS, which is about the same length but a bit heavier overall and on the tongue weight-- I think I'll be 7500lbs and about 850lbs tongue (guesstimated). Will try to post a report!
