    Cracked Leaf Spring!

    Not just replaced but torqued !! They do stretch and you'll be amazed how far you'll go till tight/torqued! Call a local spring shop or look online. To determine the size/torque used an open end wrench fastest way. Little more work but it'll be done correctly and if not torqued they will hold...

    ATF: Bighorn - Level-up system

    Not trying to steel the thread here but the title got my attention. My question is can the parts be bought and installed after. I would love to add the 4 extra legs to my Bighorn 3610 to make it 6 point leveling. Thanks

    Question for Ram DRW Owners

    I would have bought it on mine but got tired of waiting. Did add aftermarket bags myself. The factory air ride is supposed to make the empty ride less harsh. With the long bed and 4 doors. I think mine rides pretty darn nice, it is a truck. The real benefit of the bags when towing is to...

    Rotating Tires on a DRW

    The rear outsides wearing are something you should look into first. My old '99 and my new '14 wear even on the rears. The fronts wear on the outer edges and I rotate them to the inside rear. My new truck is like yours with the wheels are only finished on one side. I was either going to polish...

    ATF: Landmark - Rear Cap replacement?

    Sorry to hear about that. We've all done it, if not yet it's just a matter of when. I know you're a ways away but close to me is a body shop that specializes in RV repairs like that and would be easier then replacing the whole rear cap. Remember when they replace the whole cap all the paint...

    2015 Bighorn Full Body Paint

    I agree, it looks kind of dark however I'm sure the picture doesn't do it justice at all. Would really like to see it in person prior to making up my mind.. Gee and I just bought a silver/grey truck.......:(

    Single Rear Wheels vs Dual Rear Wheels, Everyday Driving???

    I've owned a dually for over 14 years and used it everyday. Not the most practical I know, but I do. You'll learn that most of the time it's faster and easier to park out away and walk in instead of circling around for that spot up front no matter what you're driving. I just think of the...

    2013 Ram 2500 HD Cummins issue

    if an injector is leaking enough fuel to overfill the oil it should also be running rough/skipping. With new injector pressures and the electronics firing more than once each cycle any flutter should be felt I just don't believe all this is caused by an air filter

    2013 Ram 2500 HD Cummins issue

    Coolant would make the oil look like coffee with too much cream ! Fuel just makes the oil thinner Neither is good ! Good Luck !!!

    2013 Ram 3500 factory 5th wheel prep kit adapter.

    Not sure of the part numbers Hainebd, however I know someone who looked into having it done on his new Ram 2500. With the cost of the added labor on top off the kit he went with a standard rail kit from Reese. Sorry not much help. Call around and ask, just make sure they quote you for the...

    F250 Regen

    Hi Pete ~ All OEM diesel trucks now have DPF system. You should NEVER see smoke of any color coming out (not to be confused with the moisture vapor on cold days) I also never heard of noticing the regen, it should happen by itself and you shouldn't notice it. it sounds like you have an issue and...

    2014 Ram 4x4 Bed to High

    We just went from a 1999 Ram to a 2014 Ram. Both DRW. Our Bighorn set just right without any adjustment. I have the factory under bed system and the picture frame with my Reese hitch. FYI -- I did notice while installing my fuel/tool box the height of the bedrails was shorter from the bed...

    6 point versus 4 point level.

    Try keeping the rams as short as possible. Extended all the way is like you walking on stilts. I know you bought the 6 point to get away from moving blocks to level, but try it.

    Dealers - and new trucks

    Nice car good for her ! ! ! Maybe he didn't want to help because he didn't know anything about the new 350's. ( or you don't look good in sunglasses ) :o I experienced that when I went to look at the Ram's. Went to another dealer, was a little better, not much. If it's not an easy sale they...

    Just a quick note that the new 3010re's are now coming through with 7k axles. Making the GVWR 15500 like the rest of the line up. The brochures have not been changed yet. You can now upgrade to 8k axles however the GVWR does NOT change. Ask your dealer about the special build sheet......

    Moving a 3875FB ? ?

They are looking have it moved around the first week of June. Does anyone have any contacts with any...

    ATF: Bighorn - Opening slides when coach is not level

    If nothing is happening it sounds as if something is wrong. The system doesn't know how out of level you are before it starts. It's purpose in life is to level the unit. Didn't you get a disc to watch inside your packet at delivery? Your selling dealer is no help? If all else fails read the...

    Continued Errors by Heartland

    It seems to be a trend we go for the best price for the unit and don't realize we are going to rely on a service department somewhere to help with repairs/issues. The dealer that has a good service department that preps the unit BEFORE you get there should be worth something. Of which is why...

    pulling the trigger on a Big Country!

    Congrats on your new 5'er ! Make sure your dealer does a good walk through with you explaining how things work, mostly showing you that they do indeed work. A good dealer will even offer you a road test with your new unit making sure you are comfortable driving. Remember this is FUN ! Feel...

    Shopping for Tow Vehicle for Bighorn 3610RE - Help ! SRW vs DRW

    Up here in New England I use the 4 wheel drive mainly in the winter. Dually's are lousy in the snow anyhow but the 4x4 helps me. Can't speak for everyone. I have used it a few times in campgrounds that had muddy roads/sites. If you don't go with the 4x4 I'm sure if you have an issue there will...

    Shopping for Tow Vehicle for Bighorn 3610RE - Help ! SRW vs DRW

    We've had our Ram dually now for over ten years and just ordered another. I like to stability towing our 3610re. I also use it for everyday use driving to work and whatever. The only thing is if you're one who has to park up front of every store it may not be for you. You get to park away from...

    5th Wheel hitch

    you'll need the picture frame which locks into the pucks under the bed and allows your 5th wheel to mount into that. Reese picture frame is on nation wide back order. I paid extra and bought one from Ram.

    3160 EL PDI Results

    When we bought ours we had very few issues. That was 2012. Seems like after reading about this they are pushing out more just to reach their numbers. At least you had a dealer attempt to PDI your new unit. Just imagine the disappointment when someone buys a Bighorn from a wholesaler and has...

    Reese 30154 Picture Frame for new '14 Ram

    Thanks everyone. My Ram dealer has the picture frame in stock. It's worth paying the little extra to have the truck ready sooner then later. I assume Reese is supplying dealers prior to the aftermarket, my guess anyway.

    Reese 30154 Picture Frame for new '14 Ram

    Anyone else having issues getting this picture frame from Reese?:confused: All suppliers up here in New England say they are waiting for Reese to ship it to them, Back ordered. :mad: New truck due into dealer in two weeks. I'll be very embarrassed if I need to barrow a truck to move our Bighorn...

    looking

    I've looked at that floor plan too. Love the floor plan 1/2 bath forward. The kitchen seem to have less storage then our 3610re. Always give and take in whatever floor plan. Not sure that the floor plan has been out long enough for anyone to answer your question honestly(hope I'm wrong) Good Luck

    Tow capacity-Really?

    You'll spent a lot of money on the engine and still have a possible weak drive line, brakes and suspension. Sound like your truck will be at the limit with the trailer empty. The 10k could be a good deposit on a truck with a higher rating. It's your comfort level, just be safe for you and the...

    RAM 3500 2013 & Newer - Projection Headlights & Fog Light Conversion to HID

    I believe Ram uses what is called multiplexing. Which means the lights are controlled by a computer. If the circuit load is changed by adding extra lights or changing the bulbs the computer shuts off the circuit due to what it thinks is a over load. I have seen this even with a starting circuit...

    2004 F150 transmission cooler upgrade?

    With a gauge you'll be sure to know what the trans temp is. I think the rule is 20deg. below coolant temp. ( mine runs that ) Probes in the pan work, mine had me remove a plug in the trans body itself and install the probe there. Mine came from Edge with the dash monitor. Good Luck and Have Fun

    What does the "Elite" designation mean

    I believe the windows are larger due to the fact that the slide room is 7' tall on the dining table side. Only the 3160 and the 3260 have this. No hitting your head getting up from lunch:rolleyes:. Congrats on you new Bighorn.
