Re: Anyone do a total rebuild of a TH ramp?
Taurus18 wrote: Rebuild is done! Less than $250 but LOTS of sweat. It's noticeably heavier but nice and solid for the first time since we've owned it. I caulked everywhere it looked like moisture might even think about getting in. The problem with my plan above is the channel was actually 1 5/8" not 1 3/4", so going back in was a very tight fit. Fortunately foam can be compressed. I took pictures as I went so when time permits I'll try to put together a narrated slideshow to post on YouTube. Lower corner frame seams are a primary area that water can get in when door is open, check to make sure they do not open as the ramp is lowered.917Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone do a total rebuild of a TH ramp?

For me, it was water intrusion at the bolts for the latches. Thanks. I'll have to look that over better. Most will get water from being open when it rains or is very humid, the lower corners of frame open enough to let moisture in and when close the moisture is trapped there causing the rot.913Views0likes0Comments- 563Views0likes0Comments
Re: 2016 Ford F350

I can tell you though, a 2015 Ram is much different than your 2012 MY. Just saying..... thanks 45, my 2012 had trouble with my old TH which was about 21k and the new one is 24k. It is fine on the flats but going up long grades was not much fun in the rockies.168Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2015 f-350 with 4:30
FishOnOne wrote: I believe the F350 equipped with a 4:30 rear axle requires the Tow Boss option which includes the same front wide differential like the F450 to allow for sharper turns. Is there a reason you can't tow this trailer with your RAM? Yes, i have the regular automatic and 373 gears, not rated to haul the weight.471Views0likes0Comments
