Re: 50amp wiring question
I believe you meant if they were to pull more the. 30 amps, not that hard to do with the A/C running. Understand that a 30 amp service is just that a total of 30’amps of useable power. On the other hand a 50 amp service is two legs of 50 amps each for a total 100 amps of useable power.1.2KViews2likes1CommentRe: Buying advice? 2012 Ram 3500HO vs 2013 Ram 2500 Longhorn vs 2015 Ram 2500 Longhorn
Well back again, if looking at Rams, look for 3500 if planing on towing a 5th wheel. look at at least a 2013 or newer as GVWR took a big jump in 2013. if budget allows look 2015 or newer as they went back a single radiator. Something to consider is how far to look, when we were looking used the selection locally was a little thin. I went to Car gurus and set distance at 500 miles. We ended up traveling over 250 miles to get our truck.856Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford 7.3 engine users?

All the other comparisons are antiquated. Yea I know you walked to school in 3 feet of snow in your day. …and you don't need four wheel drive. 2 wheel drive and sand bags got you through the blizzard. well if 2016 isn't new enough, our 2016 with EB on FULL, and trans in Tow Haul, pulling about 13,500# going down a steep hill 7%+ it will slow well below starting speed. It will actually down shift and keep slowing! Now history, our 2001 Ram 2500 CTD with NV4500 (5 speed manual) with a PacBrake EB, I could reduce speed as much as not more being pushed by the same trailer. Street driving I could almost bring it to a stop without touching the brakes.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Fifth wheel chucking (practical help needed)
Well some stuff I did to reduce chucking,new Bilstein shock on the TV, Shocks on the trailer, leveled the trailer when hitched, and run with a nearly full fresh water tank which is just forward of the axles. We run about 22% pin weight.1.3KViews0likes0Comments
