Re: These unreliable new diesel engines!
2012 CTD with the "unloved" pre-DEF emissions system. Only one trip to the dealer for the steering column/airbag wiring recall. Next trip to the dealer will be for the column shifter equipped transmission-can-jump-out-of-park recall. 23,000 miles in just over five years. Obviously not a daily driver, but tows the 28' 10,000 GVWR 5th wheel very well. $0 other than maintenance. I love it.372Views0likes0CommentsRe: Buying a RAM HD truck without 5th wheel prep?
My experience with the Andersen hitch mirrors IdaD's. The one drawback though is needing to raise the fifth wheel hitch approximately an additional 2 1/2" compared to a traditional fifth wheel hitch. This is needed for the Andersen coupler, mounted to the fifth wheel hitch, to clear the Andersen ball. I'll take that any day verses not having to have to hear the noise my previous traditional hitch made. (but, maybe the B&W hitch is quiet with little slop, I have never owned one) This one is quiet.

When I tow my 5th wheel again, soon, I will not be using my Husky hitch. I will install the other hitch I own, the Andersen. Last fall, I hated the noise and the chucking of the Husky traditional hitch. I am willing to put up with the more difficult task of fore/aft alignment of the Andersen vs the racket of the Husky. Maybe the Husky is just a POS. I enjoy the noise-free towing of the Andersen more.458Views0likes0Comments
