    65RFE trans problem

    Look at the last post in this thread, there is a chart that will let you measure transmission fluid level on the dipstick based on trans temp (which your screen will tell you). https://www.ramforum.com/threads/2009-transmission-slipping-just-after-startup.182622/ Most people report that when...

    Which tire?

    I just picked the tires up from Walmart and took them to Discount and paid for install / lifetime balance.

    Which tire?

    My 1500 has a 3900 pound axle rating, and the tires are 2600 pounds each. So anything within my factory payload should be good.

    Which tire?

    I got the Walmart specific cooper AT in a P series tire (98% pavement driving) for $119 a tire and have been really happy with them.

    Redarc Tow-Pro elite Brake controller.

    I have this on my 09, I’ve been real happy with it. I tow a 7000 pound gross enclosed cargo trailer once a month. I have the knob installed in the drivers side cigarette lighters 12v so by my right knee. Does a good job learning, will be rough the first day but after will remember your...

    rear bump stops

    My old ones just fell out. Like I found one in the driveway and had to figure out what it was. New ones just slipped into the pocket.

    HD coils

    If your 19 wasn’t a classic then is a 5th gen with progressive coils. The 4th gen didn’t have progressive coils. Dodge used a very soft spring in the 09 - 12 trucks, and then replaced it starting in 2013 with one that was marginally better. the fact that people had the same problem with the...

    HD coils

    Saying the problem was with my truck would be valid, except for the fact that everyone had the same problem with the early 4th gen trucks.

    HD coils

    Went from a leaf sprung Chevy to a Coil spring 2009 Ram. Same trailer on each with 485 pounds tongue weight on a cat scale. Chevy settled to level from a little rake, Ram dropped to dang near the bump stops. Nose up attitude affected handling and it bottomed out on bumps. No problems like that...

    Get your actual weights! don't guess

    I want to start a youtube channel where I hang out at a Loves and bet people they don't know how much their truck + trailer weighs then go to the cat scale to see how off their guess is.

    4.7 Underrated

    I have an 09 with 193k, only issue is a little smoke at startup that may be the valve guides. Would have been a great engine in front of the 8 speed

    Towing

    7k GVW for the trailer should be fine for a half ton as long as you don't have an abnormally low payload, but how long is the trailer? Three major factors are going to drive "what truck do I need to tow this". Payload, length of the trailer in relationship to the wheelbase of the two vehicle...

    Towing

    550KG is you payload (1200 pounds), not the towing capacity. Although unless you are towing a boat you will max out payload with an RV before towing capacity.

    How to find my towing capacity/

    We own what’s left of the family farm. Lease wasn’t making enough to pay taxes so we sold a lot, have 80 acres of pasture, house, horse barn and equipment barn and way more equipment than we should. My dad does a little horse boarding and AQA shows to keep busy. My dad asked me if I could put a...
