Re: I'm curious to know what you would do?
For me mainly using my 2019 2500 hd for work it is modified(added 52 gallons of fuel with transfer pump, 560ah battery bank with 100amp alternator charging, 2400 watt inverter rear seat removed and bed platform installed, upgraded wheels and tires for 4500lbs per corner) so that is a big consideration. I usually keep mine about five years because stripping my stuff out and reinstalling takes some time. In 2019 I traded a 2013 2500hd diesel with a little over 100,000 miles that I bought used and got more than I paid for it as well as a good price on the 2019, I did have to travel from the Seattle area to Twin Falls Idaho for it though. That being said if my truck was not modified I would probably still stick with the older truck, especially if I didn’t care for lot of the upgrades in the newer model, but then i usually go with LT trim as I fell like there is less **** to go wrong.860Views0likes0CommentsRe: Furnace Troubleshooting
Have the electrical connections been checked/cleaned, a grounding issue could cause those symptoms. Also when you replaced the burner did you make sure the igniter gap was set correctly? If too far you can get intermittent or no spark on some equipment.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Charge dead truck battery (LA) from house battery (LiFePO4)
I have a manual battery switch to bypass my 50 amp DC/DC charger and parallel my 560ah LifeP04 with the two truck batteries. Have not had to use it but there if needed. I also use 250amp BMS’s on my batteries so I can pull up to 500amps before the BMS trips.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Will a truck camper fit over the 5er rails in the truck bed?
srschang wrote: I have a 2022 Ram dually and a Northstar 12' no slide camper. - The Northstar is 3300# weighed new at the dealer. With batteries, propane, water, and all the other stuff, ready for camping, it weighs 4800#. - The Ram dually squats about 3 1/2" when the camper is loaded on the truck. It looks like it's sagging in the back, and I thought about airbags, but then I noticed that the overload springs are just engaging when the camper weight is fully on the truck. If I lifted it at all with airbags, it might look better, but then it would be off the overloads. You don't want that. Unless you like the water bed feel, air bags are great at leveling side to side but you need your over loads engaged, the more you unload the overloads the bouncier the ride will be.1.2KViews0likes0Comments
