nate i had a slide in cab over camper that i carried around for for about 10 years in two different trucks. one being a dodge cummins 2500. never had a problem with control. mine was only a 8.5 model that weighed in about 2900 pounds fully loaded. they just take getting use to keeping in mind your center of gravity and height clearance. couple things i discovered was make sure you have quality sway bars front and rear. i used the skinny hydraulic shocks that connect from the cab to the front door jam/fender area. a lot of people say you dont need them and they didnt want to drill holes in their truck but it takes out all that forward bucking bounce a cab over can sometimes give you. forget about the airbags in they rear...... they simply didnt work for me. instead i went with helwig progressive overloads. what i did was have extended shackles made up so that i could remove the shackles when empty thus giving me the factory ride because with the helwigs on while empty it will beat you to death. i didnt use the helwig for the overload capacity but for the benefit of taking out any sway and they worked great for that. in your case with a 3500 youre in better shape than i was. in addition to hauling the camper around i pulled my boat on most trips which weighted in about 3000 pounds. sounds like you are talking about a 11 or 12 foot slide in but i think if you took a hard look at the 9.5 or 10 foot model you will be surprised at the room you have in them especially if they have a slide out dining area section which wasnt available when i had mine. todays slide in campers are build much better than when i had mine and the center of gravity is much lower in them now. probable over 90% of the cab over campers going down the road are overloaded but that is the nature of the beast i know i was most of the time. jerry .

i had the same type of noise after i replaced the shocks and a slight additional tightening of the bolts solved the problem. i had the same sort of clunk you are describing and although my shocks appeared to be tight i put my impact wrench to it and no more clunk. id double check those shocks. it may be another issue but with you having new shocks id suspect that area. -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. in the battle between money and love money will always triumph i may have to change my signature......on second thought i was right the first time. i can not seem to find what is clunking in the front end. i have looked and looked. the shifter linkage update has been done. the tie rod ends do move freely. is there any chance they are the problem it sounds like bad sway bar bushings but they are tight. it only does it on bumpy roads. the truck tracks straight and does not pull. it has new shocks that are also tight. the ball joints are ok. the l-h side has a very small amount of movement. i am not really sure how to check the control arm bushi

roy wrote but i am not using twice as much gasand i do not have to plug in my truck on cold winter nights and put 12 or 14 quarts in the crankcase and listen to the engine rattle all the time not to mention the extra 6 or 7 grand it cost too. if you like a oil burner fine if you like them but you are not saving any money with one in todays market. when you factor all the costs you are loosing money with one so it is not cheaper to drive one today. oh bullshit! list for the cummins is 5k and ya get other stuff with it. cummins will out work and out last a gas engine. cummins is 300k plus before tear down. im sure you have a chevy gasser that has 300k and is just wonderful. fuel here is 30 cents more than gas. i plug mine in at home cause the heat is nice at work when it sits for 24 hours it starts right up. the common rail is much quieter. your gasser depreciates like a rock/ iirc the return on a cummins starts at 100k. roy ----------------- www.thesnoman.com not likely if you service a gas engine correctly and add a engine oil cooler like the oil burner has to have it will die without one it will last about as long and when it time comes it will be a lot cheaper to fix. everyone that says how great and cheap oil burners are never factor in the cost of buy and maintaining one and now the higher cost of fuel and not to mention the the front of the truck weighs about 700 or 800 pounds more up front with a cummins in it and removes payload capacity because the gvw of a like gas truck is the same. they did not redesigned the frame and front end for that weight either and give it it own front end it is the same frame and front end that is used in a gas truck. dodge quietly replace the front axle design in 03 because of the problems they were have with front drive axle on ctd models from added weight. i run a few plow trucks and have for years and i know that i can start my gas trucks a minus 20 quickly with no heat and be on my way quickly if need be and i can shut it off anytime anywhere in any weathr and know i can restart it and i do not have to leave it banging away wasting fuel to keep it warm. i can go to a drive thru and not have to shout or turn my engine off to be heard either and nobody knows i am coming until a get there either because it is quiet and nobody knows i am in a truck when on cell phone either. again if you like them fine but cheap and lasts longer that is bs because you can rebuild a gas engine for a lot less than a cummins and just a rebuilt injector pump and injector can cost a lot more that a completely rebuilt gas motor. first time that oil burner breaks out of warranty you will pay through the nose to fix it. diesels have a place but not in my p/u and at todays fuel price they make even less sense. gas here is 2.13 and diesel is 3.34 -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com .

you can add a heated seat cushion with vvviiibbbrrraaatttiiinnnggg massage on your current truck for much less than the factory heated leather option. check out brookstone or similar stores. not that i know from any experience or anything..... -- ken sss advocate only thing that i can think of thats worse than heated leather seats is vibrating heated leather seats. no wonder all you old farts poke along the streets with a goofy grin on yer face. do ya all keep a tube of ky in the cupholders too vbg denny you folks have to excuse the friggin rabbit. although he knocks you not so manly folks that feel the need for leather heated leather at that. you should understand that it

that no seat maker offers a heated leather bench seat for a pick up and given that his furry wide ass is waaaayyyyy too wide to fit in a bucket seat he attacks those who have learned to stay the hell out of the refrigerator and can fit into and enjoy heated leather seats. ya know i had to read this twice. getting a little slow with comprehension nope. just couldnt believe the bs that youre spewing.. bg before realization set in that you seem to be talking from experience and are just trying to pass the fat ass off onto somebody else. for example1 if i had an atv i wouldnt need to install oversized tires and skid-plates that is undoubteedly because they cant build one for your fat ass. you in a jeep is like me on a atv. and the jeep wouldnt need oversized tires and additional skid plates for me to drive it down the road. now i understand. the atv is never on the road!! or 2 my half ton gasser does everything i need it to do. i didnt need to get a 3/4 ton cummins to haul my ass around you cant hop yer furry wide ass up into a 3/4 ton. its not cant its dont want to. it gets to be a pain in the furry ass when i have to crawl in and out of it all the time. i guess it is tough on those short chubby legs. roy .

.bob bobcowan@access4less.nospam.net wrote and hes supposed to decode that sticker how theres no decoding involved. its just a list of options. my truck has one. and it distinguishes between rwal and 4wal it matter if the wheel speed tone ring is part of the rotor hub which in the case of rwd vehicles with front abs is almost always is. true in that case it would a different part. but what about calipers pads and hoses hoses can easily be different since many times they have the added bracketry for the wheel speed sensor wiring. calipers and rotors can be different also if the abs package is bundled in with wheel size options. the only way to know is check the part numbers. on my dakota the ring is not part of the rotor. so the rotor is the same for both apps. your dakota is 4x4. big difference in architecture between dakota 4x4 and a rwd b van. has it occurred to you that autozones computer has already anticipated that the parts are different and thats why the counter droid is asking not at all. for example go in to just about any parts store and ask for a voltage regulator for a 1970 mustang. they want to know engine size and carb size to get to the right reference page. although we all know that voltage regulators for 1970 ford are all the same regardless of engine or even chassis. unfair to compare what gets a part for a 35 year old car to something more current. the counter droid is often just that a droid who only knows how to use the computer. agree 100% but that -is- the program and hes the droid not often in a position to do something about it. i once went in to get spark plugs. i asked for a set of autolite 3294s. he insisted on looking it up in the computer even though i told him it was a custom app. after a while i gave up and went to another store. i feel very fortunate that there are no autozoos in this immediate area. .
