Towing Problems 3800 Cyclone

[mrhits]

Howdy,

I'm pulling a 2007 Cyclone 4012 with a 2008 Dodge Ram 3500. I've got a Curt 20k hitch and a Trail Air Pin box and honestly, I don't even know what chucking is. I have to look behind me to even see if the trailer is there sometimes, the only reason I know its not there is because I keep a hawk eye on my MPG and unfortunately, its always at 9-10 MPG :-(

I pull a 2011 3950 with a 2011 Silverado 3500 HD Dually. Rough bucking & chucking....until...I installed an AirSafe hitch. BIG difference. Just back back from a trip using it and am very satisfied with the change it made in the ride.

I get some chucking but it's tolerable. When I'm feeling flush I'm going to pick up a Mor-ryde. That should solve it.

What kind of hitch are you using?

Good combo. I had that before we changed trucks. And the Super Glide plate is nicely fitted.
Just so you know, with the MOR/ryde pinbox there are nylon blocks added to the plate that stop the side to side movement. They mount against the rails (pin box)

Side to side movement? How so?

The MOR/ryde pin box is two plates with a rubber shear spring between them. As such it allows 360 degree movement. There is a video of it somewhere on their website.
