    2014 Ram 3500 6.7l

    I just replaced the 68 in my 07 ~230k. No idea if it was original. It was not cheap. I still trust my nv4500 in the 99 to do my heaviest loads. Mind you I tow abnormally heavy. 99 is registered to 34k. I would have a trans temp gauge on the 68 for sure. It was eye opening for me. Might have...

    Trailer Tires for 7k Axles

    I run some pretty heavy trailers. One truck is registered to 34K. I was doing a set of tires every year on my tandem duals. I switched to samson 14 ply and they have been fantastic. I have since bought 11 of them over the past 2 years. My dump trailer weighs 11k empty just as an example. Those...

    Bullet proof Dodge steering upgrade

    I thought I would bump this ancient thread. I got a new tie rod on a recall for my 07. Had it in for something else at LHM. They mentioned the recalls and handled it. My truck has 250k on it fwiw. I'm guessing its a better part. They said the recall was for death wobble. Obv aligned it too which...

    Dodge Cummins Megacab Tow Rig

    I bought an 07 w/ 6.7 deleted with 240k on it. I think it needs a new trans. I am debating getting a 68 again over a swapping to a manual. Close to same cost for a built 68 vs the swap. I just love the double overdrive way too much to the point I would rather baby that. I love how quiet it is...

    Brake controller recommendations

    I have a Prodigy P3. It works ok. It takes a long time to adjust an empty to loaded trailer which is a problem if you forget since the manual brake only applies up to the set voltage. If it's set low, you won't have a lot of trailer brakes. I commonly lock up the brakes while I'm getting it...

    '98 24 valve ext cab longbed tow pig....

    I bought my 99 with 200 and just turned 300. I have done a lot of other things, but still on the same injector pump and fass, I can't complain a bit. My favorite upgrade so far has been sport lights with a relay to pull straight from the battery. It was about $500 in parts, but now the lights...

    Need newbie towing advice (trailer, trailer brakes, etc.)

    My buddy has a really light trailer that I can move by hand, but is stout enough to haul my 6000 lb skid steer. When I'm pulling with the Yukon, I love that thing. I have pulled heavier, and a light trailer would be pretty high on my list. x2 on attached ramps of some sort with feet. Obviously...

    Axle width questions. Please help me with my math

    I believe the tacoma 5-spoke aluminum wheels are 5" bs. FJ cruiser should be as well. Going off memory, so double check me. I run the 5 spoke on my 85 4runner and they have taken a beating with 39 iroks on them.

    Four Link vs Custom Alcan Leaf Springs

    My alcans are fine, I like my junkyard front pack better, and I would take a properly built four link over either one any day of the week.

    Which rv/5th wheel solution for full time?

    Steve I thought I would post up since I pull some pretty crazy loads with an SRW. I tow ~24,000 behind a dodge 2500 diesel. Here's my two bits: I do have a CDL. I got it since I was inspected by a friendly. I tow equipment for my business, so I needed to have a CDL. You can tow as much as you...

    making my bumpers pass..

    I need to lower it for other reasons, but I have some 35s for street use and they tuck underneath, so frameheight is good. Mud flaps are easy. Thanks!

    making my bumpers pass..

    So I am dusting off my old 4runner. It has no straight panels left, so I don't want to spend a bunch a money to fit inside Utah's box. Last it was registered in Utah my tube bumpers were legal. Now they are not. They need to be 4" wide for the width of the vehicle. Any ideas as to what might...

    hydraulic assist???

    I have regular valvoline atf. Did you get a bigger reservoir? Do you have a cooler? I have both. Maybe that's why I don't have trouble.

    Ford to dodge?

    Ok so maybe I'm that dodge guy. I think I paid $7800 for my '99 club cab 5spd w/200k. I have swapped the ford knuckles, and in hindsight probably should have just swapped a ford 60. The ford brakes are a HUGE upgrade imho. Not a chance that I would trade it for my Brother in Law's f250 ibeam...

    Toyota Programming a transponder key?

    Good luck with it. I was able to successfully program keys for my 1998 avalon and my parent 1998 camry. Google gives me a slight variation. DONT TURN THE NEW KEY. That was the big difference, it makes sense to me since the new key is not yet programmed. Hope it helps. 1.Make sure all doors and...
