A new question. And I'm bored

Think I found a floor plan I really like. The fifth wheel info states it is under 10,000 lbs. would a ram 2500 be big enough to pull it comfortably?

I'd have to say a definite, maybe. My '01 Ram 2500 wouldn't have a lick of trouble. However, I have the 8800 pound chassis package. It was a commercial farm truck before I got it.

How is your truck equiped? I'm running the 5.9 gas and automatic with 4X4. Do you have drums or discs in the rear? Gas or diesel? Automatic or manual?

If you have an automatic and don't already have a transmission cooler, have one put in. Run the transmission fluid through the radiator like stock and then the auxilliary cooler. Your transmission will thank you for it. Otherwise, the determining factor will be your suspension. A coworker claims he can haul as much load as I can. I looked under his truck once and his springs are about 1/3 of mine. Like I said, mine was a commercial farm truck before I got it. I've seen 3/4 ton trucks pulling 5th wheels but a lot of them have dual rear wheels. This isn't so much as extra capacity (although it helps) but for stability. The wider stance keeps cross winds from blowing you around.
