Loose steering problem on a 98 Ram 1500, 4x4

From : mr ed

Q: says... i have a 97 dodge 3/4 ton hd with a 6 cylinder 5.9 liter 12 valve diesel. according to chrysler it puts out 235 hp. i pull a 7000lb 5th wheel with no problem. the manual says that the truck has a towing capacity of about 11500lbs. im considering a larger 5th wheel but im concerned about the horsepower of the truck versus the weight of a larger trailer. ive talked to the local dodge dealer about how to increase the hp but they are not very forthcoming with information. can someone give me some ideas about how to increase the trucks power. thanks 235 hp i dont think so. auto trans 180 hp. manual trans 215 hp. -- bruce grant westminster md 95 2500 club 4x4w/dynatrac manual hubs cummins/auto 265/70rx19.5g .

batteries do wear out faster in say phoenix than in los angeles. storing a battery in 115 degree weather vs. 75 will make a difference. no doubt but stuffing it under the hood of a car where temps hit 200+ its really no difference if its 200 250 or 300 under there all are above the best temp to store a battery. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. max dodge wrote 200 250 makes little difference to a battery really. both are higher than optimum for a battery. thus 3 years avg is logical despite your blustering. batteries do wear out faster in say phoenix than in los angeles. storing a battery in 115 degree weather vs. 75 will make a difference. .
