Re: Which Air Bags Are Best???
About 16 years ago, I put Firestone airbags on a Chevy 2500 and the instruction on installation stated that a minimum of 5-10 psi should be maintained in the airbags, when running unloaded, to help with longevity of the air bags. Weren’t supposed to run them completely empty. I don’t know about today, but that was instructions back then. Jim744Views0likes0CommentsRe: Which Air Bags Are Best???
I towed a 16.5 5er with a pinweight Of 3400#. with my 2013 Ram 3500 And didn’t need airbags. If you need airbags to tow that light of a weight. Something is wrong with your Dually. My 2016 came with OEM fear air assist...it autolevels the load, but no after market needed for your Dually for no more than you’re towing. If your 3500 is a SRW truck. it could STILL handle that light of a 5er. Jim345Views0likes0CommentsRe: Torqlift revolution

Makes getting in so much easier. These tall trailers need 4 steps as OEM. Peggy didn't think they would make that much difference...until the first time she used them, instant convert. A little more to it than that. Once installed you can adjust top step height to where it’s easier to step in or out of the RV. It does have adjustable bottom leg supports that allow stability and adjust for uneven terrain. All aluminum and a quality built product. Jim330Views0likes0CommentsRe: Torqlift revolution
Got rid of the OEM steps on our MS. High first step. Wife had a hip replacement and I’d had a stroke with weak left leg. Installed the 5 Step Revolution Glow steps a little over a year ago. We love them. No issues. Adjustable step into the 5er on the top step and bottom step legs for stabilization. They also work great for our dog... Well worth it and I’d highly recommend them.

Engine meant an internal combustion enginegas or diesel powered engine. Maybe it’s regional, but early in College Engineering classes and in the USAF (circa 1969-75). If you called something a motor, it was either run off AC or DC. Engine meant gas or diesel fueled, or jet engine, all internal combustion engines. It was the way I was taught growing up and same in the Air Force and College. Jim305Views0likes0CommentsRe: Level Up problems

My 36RSSB3, a 37’ over all length has a GVW of 19K. loaded to 18,250# with a pin of 4250#. Both front jacks replaced with higher rated more robust rams and no more problems.
