3500

I am reposting some information from a closed thread from 2013 on New laws in California. The big changed are that HDTs can be up to 16000 lbs and driven w/o trailer for non-commercial personal purposes. In 2016 (jan 1st) the weight goes up to 26000 lbs! Note that the codes remove much of...

I am looking to buy a ram 3500, but the window sticker doesn't list the 5th wheel prep. Is this something I can/should have the dealer do, or is there a cheaper after market option to install?

I was looking for your opinions on a srw ram. Would the truck be enough truck for the Landmark Key Largo? Stats I found: 2014 3500 ram crew cab long box 4x4 bighorn 12300 gcrw 16820 max trailer 4290 payload rgawr 7000 gvw 8012 rgaw 3003 2015 key largo gvwr 16250 empty 12972 3250 pin at 20%...

Hi, We have a 2013 Elkridge 37 Ultimate and are looking to move up to a Ram 3500 Diesel. Most we look at on the lot are 3.73 rear axle ratio and there is an option, if we order, for the 4.10 rear axle ratio. Additionally, the 6.7L Diesel is with a 6 speed auto trans. There is an optional...

Anyone know the difference in mpg when pulling hard with 4.10 vs. 3.73? I just finished a trip through the Rocky Mountains and the truck struggled up the 6-7% grades; as well, the transmission kicked down often so I figured I should change to 4.10s. We have a 06 Ram 3500 4x4 dually, 5.9, Smarty...

Is anyone using Timbrens on a 3500 truck. I have a 07 Dodge 3500 DRW 4x4 with a BH3600RL. The truck is a little less than level. Wondering if theTimbrens would work. I really dont want air bags. My pin is right under 4k. Thanks for any info, Drew

Group: I have the above mentioned vehicle, and I have noticed something funny with the alternator and voltmeter first thing in the morning. When I first start it up, even after waiting for the pre-heat light to go out, the voltage reading is below 14 volts, and the engine runs a little rough...

Bought a new Cape Cod 39 footer and looking at a Dodge 3500 duallie in either 4x2 or 4x4. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on which will work best....? Thanks before hand.

Does anyone tow with this combination- it is a 4x4 I am concerned about the clearance between the bed rail and the unit. The new trucks ride high in the rear. Your experience is appreciated.

Need help in understanding why a 3500 Dodge with 3.73 gear ratio has a tow limit of 13,500 lbs and the same truck with the same suspension. tires and etc with a 4.10 gear ratio has a tow limit of 16,500 lbs. Can somebody explain to me in very simple terms why this the case:confused:

Will pick up the unit in a couple of weeks, has anyone had issues with having to "flop the axles for level towing"? Is the rear bed height of the newer trucks an issue in giving proper clearence for the rails? Is anyone towing this combination? How does it work for you

This is a note to thank everyone for helping me on my recent post. I think I have come to a conclusion, the dually is out for drivability issues and I am just not comfortable-I would likely be replacing fenders. Due to my weight concerns I would consider a 3500 extended cab/ long box, it gives...

Our truck is pretty high. We are getting a Shenandoah. Anyone else have this setup? We're wondering about hitch height and how the trailer rides behind the lashup. Thanx, Jim

We are considering buying an Augusta model. We have a 2007 Dodge 3500 single wheel 6.7 litre Cummins. Does anyone tow the same type of rig with this truck?

My '07 Dodge 3500 Cummins auto trans has a tow/overdrive button on the end of the shift lever. The tow position is great for towing rig as it stops the torque lock up clutch from engaging/disengaging constantly on a hard pull. A relative is looking at an '06 Dodge 3500 Cummins. Does anyone...

Just purchased a new GMC 3500 dually D/A. I will be towing a BH 3670. I plan on installing B&W 18K companion hitch. I have read of a few cases of not enough clearance on some of the new GM trucks. It appears most have solved the problem with adjustments to the hitch assembly. Any feedback would...

I plan on purchasing a Chevy 3500 D/A dually this week. A few concerns I have. What hitch should I purchase and I read there have been some problems with clearing the sides of the bed. I will be towing a '09 Big Horn 3670 with Trail Air Pin box. I like the B&W. It appears easy to remove and...

I recently replaced my 05 Chevy 2500HD with a new 3500HD. There are 3 switch's located on the over head above the rear view mirror behind the dome lights. For the life of me I can not figure out what they are for, nothing in the owners manual. Can any one out there help? Please it is going to...
