sounds great! we did 9600 miles in 36 days last summer. problem is my ram burns gas! i plan to order my 04 ctd this fall. is yours a long bed or short bed were shopping fifth wheels as well since we have every intention of cranking on the miles once we have the truck to do it. just got back today from a 24 day nearly 9000 mile trip cross the country and back towing a 25 arctic fox 5th wheel. my 03 2500 ctd 4wd laramie drove flawless except for excessive brake lining residue on the front wheels ill pull them tomorrow to see if i have any shoe left. -- fmb only one b in fmb .

we went for the long bed and had line-x sprayed on just before getting the 5th wheel hitch. the ctd is the ho model and we have the 6sp manual tranny. if i were to do it all over again id get the same exact truck as i have now. i love it. sounds great! we did 9600 miles in 36 days last summer. problem is my ram burns gas! i plan to order my 04 ctd this fall. is yours a long bed or short bed were shopping fifth wheels as well since we have every intention of cranking on the miles once we have the truck to do it. just got back today from a 24 day nearly 9000 mile trip cross the country and back towing a 25 arctic fox 5th wheel. my 03 2500 ctd 4wd laramie drove flawless except for excessive brake lining residue on the front wheels ill pull them tomorrow to see if i have any shoe left. -- fmb only one b in fmb .

thanks mike that makes me feel better. i didnt get to look at it today as expected too much cleaning up to do. the truck does tend to pull to the right a bit. i love the truck though. fmb youll have plenty of lining left.... the brake dust accumulation is normal..... annoying.... but normal... mike just got back today from a 24 day nearly 9000 mile trip cross the country and back towing a 25 arctic fox 5th wheel. my 03 2500 ctd 4wd laramie drove flawless except for excessive brake lining residue on the front wheels ill pull them tomorrow to see if i have any shoe left. -- fmb only one b in fmb .
