    2015 Ram 3500 without Aisen transmission

    I have towed with both transmissions, with the same trailers. While the 68RFE is a reliable and bullet proof transmission, it will do the job quite readily without issues. The Aisin, is absolutely without a doubt, a better transmission. On a 2,000 mile journey to camp with the Mouse, it was...

    Rotating Tires on a DRW

    Good idea, but won't work. The side that faces in is usually not polished. Also, the rear wheels will get damaged from debris thrown up from the front tire. Dismount and remount is the only way to go. I have rotated every 7,500miles, by moving the right rear to the front, front to the right...

    When I purchased our 2014 Laramie Crew Cab Long bed, I negotiated them including the adaptor and 24,000 pound fifth wheel from Mopar. I adjusted it for height and hauls the Landmark perfectly.

    Personally, I wouldn't tow anything that heavy and tall with a SRW. The Crew cab long box is only 11.5" longer than the Mega short box, I like have the room to turn with out worry of crashing the trailer into the cab.

    Squeak..Squeak

    It is most likely the leafs of the spring pack sliding on each other. It could even be your truck since it is squatted with the load. Some manufactures will install nylon slippers on the end of the leafs in the spring stack.

    Landmark - Kitchen outlet capacity

    Air Conditioner draining (dripping) inside on to livingroom floor.

    Check to see if you have water running off the roof first. If you do, it is most likely condensation forming on the inside cover. It happens in more humid climates, particularly if you are just starting the A/C up after the windows have been open or running it for the first time in a while.
