Hello Rear passenger tire ran over a foreign object. Hole is too big to repair. It is covered under road Hazzard, but if one tire is new and the others have 9/32, how will it ride and any side effects of pulling an 8k lb travel trailer? About a year of life left, these Cooper Discover AT3...

We went to/over Cerro Summit Mountain pass 8,042 ft coming from Grand Junction 4,583 ft, max trans temp was 168/169, coming back empty, not towing, trans temp was 167/168 so seemed not to matter yea! Next test is to go over the big passes at > 10,000 ft!

I plan on refreshing travel trailers, my RAM has 3.73 Axle Ratio, 6.4l Heavy Duty V8 Hemi with MDS, 8 spd auto 8HP75-lCV trans, GVW 10,000#. The RAM website has Mega Crew cab not Crew Cab and other sites either have 14,380 or 13,970 for towing capacity and est payload 2,940 lbs. Hope to get a...

Finally got it done! Will run 85 Octane in the city and 87 when pulling the TT. Oil changes will do every 5k, even though synthetic. So far getting 13.8 mpg in the city, Grand Junction. I plan to pull my TT after I get 1,000 miles on the truck. Started with 37 miles on it and now it has...

Thank you.....Pete

thank you, good info....Pete

Thanks all for you input, I am picking up my 2020 RAM 2500 Big Horn Crew Cab 1st week of Jan. We test drove the gasser and diesel. I guess I am just not a diesel guy. Since the RV pulling will be x times a year, went with the Gasser. The RAM 2500s are flying off the dealers lot here in Grand...

Thanks for your input........

Thank you.....Pete

Hello: What is the consensus on Octane Level, 6.4L Heavy Duty V8 Hemi. Daily driver + part time towing 6,000 lb bumper pull travel trailer. Owners manual states 85 with a TOP TIER Detergent. Use 85 then maybe a higher level while towing? thanks....Pete.......

Thank you everyone, I am going through their online system and getting a MSRP price for the options I am looking for. Ouch on $67,160 but can get that down to invoice price and some deductions for dealer discount, HD engine bonus cash etc. The dealer plays this selling game everyday where I do...

I believe since we would only take 5-10 trips a year I may go gasser on the 2021 2500. I can save the $10k cost and upgrade equipment groups/Accessories with that $$. The big but is should I order 3.37 or 4.10 axle ratio. Our bumper pull TT is 5,500 empty. Would I really notice.. not...

Thank you all, it is a bumper pull , we live in Grand Junction Colo, and there seem to be more of the Cummins diesels at the Ram Dealer for 2020 models. 2021 2500 Rams are not showing up here yet!. Hope to go down the last week of the month and make a run for a Ram 2500. Good point on...

Hello, it is getting time to buy/decide on a gas vs diesel and since I am not a mechanic need to decide on 4.1 vs 3.73 gear ratio. With that , our TT is 6000# empty and we put another 1,000 lbs in it (water, food, gear) and up to 1,000 lbs in the bed. We take the travel trailer out 5-10...
