Torque tip from a nuclear mechanic. Always torque the nut instead of the bolt head if possible. It will give a more accurate torque. Torquing the bolt head may give you a few pounds less than called for. Good job.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Oh, goood to know thank you!! 😊

[@timwalker4424]

I was just about to sat the same thing.

[@dougcorarito9150]

@@IreneIronTravels Also, when you're done with a "click" type torque wrench, unload the spring by setting it back to 0.

[@genecappelletti6691]

@@dougcorarito9150 Not to zero. You don’t want to completely unload a torque wrench that can affect calibration. Keep a slight pressure on the spring to help save calibration. All torque wrenches should be re-calibrated periodically depending on use but at least yearly especially if stored in a tool box bouncing around.

The Ram looks much nicer under load versus the considerable squat of the Tremor

Agreed!!! 😊💪

its built by the french though now lol its the next size up truck also

[@AngelTorres-se9zf]

Towing with a dually truck is always a better tow no matter who the manufacturer is. Now you don't have to worry about weight issues and breaking is also more confident because your trailer is very well within your trucks tolerances. Congrats on the new truck and enjoy, happy camping guys.

[@christhomas9837]

I'm sure there's a spot on the side of the box you can hook your brake-away cable, it's not allowed to be hooked to the hitch.

[@dalemarshall9736]

I used to hook my to side of box and turning tight in a back in spot pulled the breakaway and locked my brakes. Switched to hooking in the spot above the pull handle and never an issue after that.

[@lindasteller]

I've used quick connects/disconnects in my garden for years. You can't beat them with a stick.

Pretty cool. I have both a SRW Ram 3500 and DRW Ram 3500. My SRW has the mega cab, and the DRW is Crew Cab Long Bed. When truck shopping I was told it wasn't possible to tow a 5th wheel with a mega cab's short bed length, so I got the long bed instead in the dually. I wish I did what you guys did with that hitch. That's the best of both worlds!

[@Denis-tu1pd]

The mega cab short bed is the same as long bed crew cab.

[@WorldWideCynthia]

Love the new truck and the pups set up in the back seat. How cool the seats folds like that. New adventures away! ❤

[@mrracerx8302]

Congrats on your new setup! Glad you found your weight issues early. Too many people don’t realize that payload often is exceeded long before towing capacity. It is also somewhat confusing as every towing component from hitch and hitch balls to axles and frames all have their own limits and specs. Enjoy your forever truck!

[@timaz1066]

All the unhooking and hooking up to a trailer is one of the big reasons I decided full-time in a motorhome. It’s a lot less hassle for me. And I’ve owned every kind of RV there is in my lifetime less a popup. And the Slide Outs topper situation is the reason I went with true Toppers on my motorhome last year. I love that set up. Thanks for the video.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Same to you! Nice meeting you as well! 😊

[@janmoline]

Pulling my ORV GP F28RKS with a 2011 RAM 3500 Diesel Dually. It's been a really good combo. I can attest to the pain of hitting the cab. Bought my truck with a 2" hitch ball welded in the center (used to tow a gooseneck horse trailer). I use a gooseneck hitch, but it does allow me to turn far too close and crunch the cab. I'm usually pretty careful, but I was wrestling with getting into a camp site and OUCH! Makes me wince every time I approach the truck.

[@user-rt2mr2dp1g]

As usual great information. You’ve giving me great insight on the different aspects of full time Rv living. You have influenced me on certain considerations I have been researching as my wife and I will be transitioning to full time rving as retirement is just around the corner

[@petersmith2837]

Good thing you have Chris to help with the heavy lifting 💪

[@LoCleTXRV]

After dozens of those quick connected used at my home. I hate them, they end up having issues trying to connect and did not connect after being used a lot. I am switching out to a different style. Still Brass connectors but with an O-rings on the end of the male portion of the fitting. All of the quick connects changed on the RV and now will start working on changing out on the house.

[@mgreene1409]

I don't know if you guys know this but Cummins grid heaters have a tendency to fall apart and drop pieces into the cylinder(s) causing damage. It cost $1,000 but Banks power has a replacement intake with a different style heater that won't fall apart plus it improves performance. They have other bits and bobs that can improve performance and fuel economy as well.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thats good to know thanks, ill look more into that! I did hear about that heater grid bolt. I'm all happy I got away from the CP4 blow up failure, and ofcouse theres something differant to worry about! 🤣

We love our 2024 RAM 3500 Big Horn long bed. Have about 4800 miles so far. Mileage coming back down to Tennessee from Elkhart was not great at 8.3 mpg due to wind. We had MORryde install IS on our Alliance and had another place install a GEN Y hitch.

[@TNRedchick7]

Super cute interior . Love the residential fridge and a small fifth wheel that’s really nice. Like you said the little divider between the bed and the nightstand should’ve been set back somewhat to make it easy to access the table. Having a drop frame is a big deal on such a small unit. Well done.

[@donclark5677]

I just tuned in for the first tow. But, I was feeling your anxiety waiting for the part. Love the videos.

[@robertsimpson7113]

Remember to let the engine "idle down" after a highway speed run to let the turbo spool down before shutting off the engine and removing the oil supply to the turbo bearings

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

Your new truck is a great truck. I know peeps with all brands of truck. Learn about tire pressure. Tire traction and air pressure, especially on your Dooley will control a lot of what the truck does depending on the surface and conditions. Ninety percent of the time you will be ok. But if you get to a stuck point or an area where you really feel your traction will be a problem learn to do the work and lower tire pressure for better traction. Study how to use your drive train. Know what differential lock is and how to use it. Are you considering airbags? You have a busy 10 days. New truck, hitch issues. That’s part of the excitement. Beautiful resort. I prefer the long bed trucks. I don’t lose as much bed storage and worry less about the slide not working and even if it does work truck cabs have been hit. Keep slide clean and nothing in bed. Your setup looks very sharp. Check the level of trailer on a level surface. Check the clearance of truck bed to trailer. This is so when your truck pulls down into a drop like getting into or out of a fuel station the bed can get close to the trailer. I think I’m an inch high but I like my clearance from bed to trailer. I might be at 6”

[@kerrymartin5514]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ When you look at the truck and RV to see how level They both are with each other - look at the bottom edge only - rocker of the truck and bottom edge of the RV - both yours look in line with each other really good.

[@Johnnybgood-xl9tl]

Get you some airbags for your rear axle. It'll take some of that squat out of your truck and it'll pull like a dream.

[@danrambow7721]

loved doing the fiesta - sunshine key shuffle when we visited the Keys many years ago.

[@bookooc5605]

Kudos to you for installing the hitch yourself. At 69, I don't think I could do it myself!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks!!! Yes, this one was heavy!!! But you could do it as long as its loaded up into the bed for you. Ours was backwards so I needed Chris to help me spin it around. Otherwise its slides nicley into place. 😊 Thanks for watching!!

[@Cowboy67801]

I've got the first year 6.7 Cummins diesel megacab. It has a little over 600,000 miles on it and still going strong. Finally lost the transmission at 504,000 miles. (I always used Amsoil in the Tranny) I tow all the time with it. It still has the original A/C compressor and starter, motor hasn't been touched. The motor doesn't leak or use any oil yet. I also have a 2014 Cummins megacab with 240,000 miles on it,. It also has been trouble free. So you stated this is our truck of our lifetime. It sure can last your lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Way to go! Best advice is never stomp on it until it has reached full operating temp. and allow it to idle 3 minutes after towing to cool every thing down.

[@duckwacker8720]

The older 6.7 Cummins still takes 15w-40 oil and is probably deleted like it should be. Your 6.7 and my 5.9 have tappets not hydraulic lifters.

[@gungadinn]

Some of the trailer service centers have the ability to weigh individual axles, so you'll know if nose down or nose high of the trailer changes the load carried on each axle. Like you did with the Ford, a CAT scale can be your friend. A nose high trailer will reduce tow vehicle weight distribution. Also a very inexpensive tire tread depth gauge to check the trailer tires will give you a clue on trailer loading. With your trailer weighing 16k, you're close to max weight on a tandem axle single wheel trailer. Nice looking truck and great sound of the Cummins engine brake..

[@bob5817]

Always use exhaust break even when not towing. Saves on break pads

[@GenderSkins]

I think what you are describing with the way the Dodge 3500 tows, is that it has a more stable feel to it vs the Ford Tremor. Which is something I noticed when I went from Ford & Chevy single axel trucks to my old 1999 Dodge Quad Club Cab 3500 Cummings Diesel was that it felt more stable over all. But my Dodge was a 5 speed manual with a flat bed, not an automatic. I had two differences though, as I was set up to tow trailers with air brakes and had no Jake brake (engine brake). Those Cumming engines pull like a bull on steroids, but that’s because they are basically the same as a Semi truck engine so I am not surprised you have fallen in love with it.

[@Defianthuman]

39:15 an alternator charger would be another solution if your going out to the middle of nowhere and need power.

Thanks for the video! I’m almost in the same boat that you’re in. I recently got rid of our trailer and we’re upgrading to a bigger one. Last week we bought a 2024 Ram 3500 Dually and the Pullrite hitch is being shipped in. I’m crossing fingers it shows up before we head to Idaho to pick up the Brinkley 5th wheel. It was weird to stumble upon your video with such a similar situation. Hopefully my pins will be correct! (As a diesel mechanic, good choice in trucks)!

[@jasoncochran853]

Not sure if the 3500 has air suspension for the rear leafspring but Kelderman air suspension makes a kit if you want to soften the ride a bit... if this is your forever truck. Huge difference on my 5500, made it liveable, FYI.

NIce! Good to hear thanks!!!

[@duckwacker8720]

They don't build the Cummins like they should anymore. The block web is thinner they went with hydraulic lifters and thinner oil. Plus the emissions all adds up to less reliability. If they stick with 5w-40 it should be okay.

[@allabouttires7723]

Nice Truck and Rig. We love our PullRite auto slide Hitch.

Rule of thumb for staying in the middle of your lane is line up the right side wiper pivot with the shoulder painted line

[@starkeyboys9583]

With a Dooley you need to pick a point on the hood that works for your white line on the right side. That way you can make a quick reference point. That will help you a lot. I love my Ram trucks👍😂

[@barryl1072]

Those brass quick disconnects will leak eventually. I switched to the Ace plastic quick disconnects, they’re less expensive and last forever. When they do start to leak, there’s usually an Ace close by for a replacement.

One thing to keep in mind when torquing, it's better to apply the torque to the nut not the bolt because of how you're supposed to be stretching the bolt.

Tug test with stabilizers down. Reason being. If the king pin comes out the camper will fall and drive your stabilizers thru the bottom of your camper and also damage your truck when it falls. It will also take out your front cap on your camper. Think about it.

[@straycata]

Yes the in-line engines make more torque lower, where the V engine make their power at higher rpm’s. The turbo break will work better too. Enjoy your ram!!!

[@timolson7005]

i never tow over 60.. dont care at all if the speed limit is higher.. and if i find big trucks going slower than that, i stay about a quarter mile behind them.. i never pass anybody going over 50 .. life is too short to go real fast towing a RV.. save tires, save gas, save wear and tear, save money.. the folks that want to go faster can pass

[@duckwacker8720]

There's no reason to go any faster than 65. A lot of people love to brag about towing 70+.

Dave says to remember to always set your clicker torque wrenches to their minimum setting when not in use!!

[@Captain-Awesome]

Irene, quick tip for driving a Dully especially when things get tight. The black line in the road from oil drops is usually about 12” wide. Use your right thigh as your guide and put it on the edge of that black drip line for normal driving and in the middle when crowded on your driver’s side. This elements rapid mirror checks or having to slow too much. Great looking truck and RV

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks!

[@Captain-Awesome]

@@IreneIronTravels I would love to know if that trick works for you.

[@joenunya8449]

I just use the convex to check the lines. Once you adjust, you'll do good. To really nail it down. Put some empty aluminum cans on the white lines in an empty parking lot and see how close you can get without squishing them. Really dials in your sense of position. I habe seen A LOT of dually fenders with giant smack marks from people getting use to a small suv and turning to sharp.

[@SFDearing1]

Had the same Super Glide hitch and liked it with the exception of hitching up. If you are not straight in line when attempting to hitch up it is almost impossible to complete the process. Just 10 degrees off line and it will not hitch.

[@steverus1336]

The main complaint about the Ram is the seats, not a comfortable as the Ford.

[@davidoverholt251]

Yep, need to tell about the hitch change from the trucks! And of course in the FLA Keys, you are going to pay for all the travel these days! At least you choose your safety in towing your new RV (5th Wheel) and bought the new Dually! You are telling us the story as you speak!

I always prefer to break in a truck with how it is going to be used. My last diesel I pulled off the lot and hooked up a 15k trailer and pulled it 3400 miles in the first 5 days. Rams tend to take a bit to break in, but once they do I usually saw the MPG jump, sometimes a good 10mpg, and then I knew it was broke in. They just get stronger with age.

Last year, we did the duelly upgrade for the same reason. We had a Ram 3500 srw and it seemed to pull fine, but several years later we got on the scale and the truck was about 700 lbs. overweight. We also have 2 rottweilers riding in the back to add an extra 200 lbs. We later started shopping for a duelly and found a 2017 Ram 3500 drw. It was a limited trim and had the HO Cummins with the Aisin transmission. We love the truck and we have traveled out west with it and will be coming back through the rockies soon.

What you think you need go one size bigger and you will be fine and it’s always better to have more truck then less and dulls make you feel so stable and a long bed dullay just rides better and the length won’t bother you after a 3 to 4 weeks of driving it and there is not a drive threw that I can not go threw even my back and that is a tight and I have a 05 Dodge 4 door long bed dullay 4x4 5.9 diesel 6 speed manual and have had this truck since new ,it’s just a thing you will love the stable feel you get and I my self I can not stand to worry about a sliding hitch that fails to slide make one less thing to worry about and get the long bed with the better ride look at all the semis with third long road tractors that get the best ride .

Welcome to the Ram 3500 Dually family. Since you’re new just wanted to point out that the Ram will not turn as well as your prior truck. Honestly, the 3500 turns horrible when compared to single rear wheel truck and the F450, but I absolutely love my 2019. There should be a clip next to the bed RV plug to hook your breakaway to, saw someone say something about that. Enjoy the truck, as I stated, I love mine even towing my 40 foot toy hauler. I started with an 2015 2500 Ram single rear wheel drive, and when I went to the dually what a difference. You will not mind when large semi trucks pass you on the open highway anymore. Hint, learn to change your own fuel litters, it’s not had and takes bout 1 to 1,5 hours. Most dealerships will charge anywhere from $400 to $500 dollars to do it. Plenty of info on where to get the filters online, just buy the right 6 point socket for the front, have an extension or two, and a swivel and you are set…..

I meant to congratulate you on the new truck with the first video. I went to an 8' bed 2 trucks ago in 2017 and will never have another short bed pickup. People like to hand wring over the extra length, but if you're not trying to close a garage door behind it you get used to it. I do think the short bed duallys look weird, but to each his own LOL. I'm glad to see the upgrade is delivering what you expected so far. I have a '22 Ram 3500 Laramie dually, same color, but opted for the sport package (bright wheels and chrome mirrors and grille). Your trailer height looks good to me - truck and trailer both appear level. Only negatives on mine so far is two: 1. those Nexen tires suck. Be religious at keeping the steer tires at 80 psi cold and you might get 20k miles out of them. 2. Factory shocks suck. I have factory air ride, so that may be why. I'll eventually order Bilsteins from Geno's Garage. I'm not a paid endorsement, just a happy customer of Geno's for the last 10 yrs. Too bad you couldn't get the 50 gal fuel tank with that cab/bed, I love mine. Kinda pricey, but there's bigger aftermarket tanks available for your config that would be worth the dough IMO. Enjoy the new truck!

Thank you!

[@edgarmachado6008]

Is there a length limit imposed by your slider hitch? Could your truck and hitch pull a 40 ft toy hauler without any turning issues? I love the MegaCab look. I currently have a 2008 1500 MegaCab. Thank you.

[@mjmlcmaolcom]

Great info in this video! Thank you!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for wathcing!!!

[@manny7972]

That exhaust brake for reals 😼👌 such a bad ass combo you guys got now though

[@seawolff33]

glad your diggin the new dually. re the "hips" they stick out as far as your mirrors - as a reference fyi.

[@gardnetbush9768]

Right the rule of thumb is if your tow mirrors fit then the rest of the truck will fit

[@sw5334]

Just like whiskers on a cat. If the mirrors fit the hips will to.

As a former RAM owner, I am glad to see you bought a big tourque wrench. [I loved the truck, but sold the big horse trailer and didn't need the truck anymore.] Mine (a 2004.5) had hub-centric front wheels. Those need regular re-check of the tourque on the lugs. It can be a very ugly surprise. ...ask me how I know. :)

[@MSG3726]

I’m surprised the package was only 30 minutes late. When you said it had just arrived to the distribution I was like “this thing won’t arrive until 3pm.” Glad you had a backup plan even though you didn’t need it.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes! 30 minutes wasn't too bad.... but it was a pretty stressful morning for sure. Could have been worse like you said at 3pm!

[@jasonalper7898]

For towing for 30 years I would Never use a Slider are way to heavy and do not work great, have owned 3 REESE sidewinders, its the way to go, can go past 90 degrees on a turn

[@charleyhough4355]

I have a sunroof on my RAM, and i keep the cover closed most of the time because of the heat from the sun. Towing my 10K trailer, I don't even know it there. I have owned GM and Ford, and the RAM is hands down the best truck i have ever owned.

[@kevincameron8437]

That Ram will have more exhaust brake because of the 6 speed transmission. My Ram was a towing machine, but like you, I needed a slight increase in towing capacity, so Chev had a better deal on what I wanted. Still love the Ram though.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Right on! All 3 of the BIG 3 make a good truck. 👍

[@darrelldement1423]

Well done Aaron.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Well thanks Darrell! Appreciate that! 😊🙏🏻

[@thomas3059]

One thing about driving a doolie.If you're mirrors clear clear your rear fenders will clear.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

Travel days are always fun. 30 miles or 300 miles...still a travel day. But we RVers embrace them nonetheless. looks like a wonderful destination today... continued safe travesl

[@IreneIronTravels]

So true!! Thanks!!

Ultra-low Sulphur fuel is terrible for these engines with all the emissions crap. I would highly recommend you look into hot shot secret additives for both the fuel and engine oil. Great company with great products, all the data to back up their claims. I've gained 4 or 5 mpg in my ram dually in the last month using their diesel extreme for initial dose then there EDT (every day treatment) or really every fill up treatment. Really great company. They also make the purest synthetic oil you can buy. A little pricey but absolutely worth it. Also, if you've never heard of the oil bypass filter (basically a 2nd oil filter) it's a great mod to catch more soot from the emissions. Best of luck with the new truck, you can't beat a Cummins for pulling or hauling a camper.

[@dougwilliams3276]

that was a great shot for the dogs home. I have a question, is there room UNDER the seats in that position? I slide my cat cages under the seat platform I made. But see'ing that backseat for the dogs is making me want to buy YOUR truck. LOL

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Longer wheel base tows better
