can you then explain why the instructions from dodge for my 2003 dodge ram 3500 specifically states that the hitch be centered precisely over the centerline of the rear axle fwiw ive *never* encountered any lightening of the front end when *slowing* while towing my 14100# 5er. hint the leverage upon the frame that results from the vertical arm of the hitch support forces the front end *down* during deceleration. as a former long haul driver side lined by ms ill make some comments here. in your case you got a truck whose manufacturer has decided the optimum position for your model is over the center line. and that is assuming you load the trailer balanced. with the correct tongue weight for lack of a better word right now. the real test is the same we use with big rigs scale the axles. know what the front weight is empty and the rear axle. if you hook up and the front gains little or worse loses weight the king pin is too far back or the load is way out of balance. he who fails to weigh is way too careless to be entrusted with a vehicle towing. as for lightening of the front axle move the pin behind the axle and have good brakes on the trailer and the front end will get light. same thing can happen on a single screw tractor if the fifth wheel is slide back to far especially if the axles on the trailer are slide to far back. a little harder to have happen on a twin screw because the pin never slides beyond the rear axle most of the time wont even slide back over the rear axle. whitelightning sliding rv-type fifth-wheels are not intended to be slid back while towing - only for tight space manuevering - and are not needed for a truck with an 8 bed. you might wish to re-read my earlier post in this thread. g .

tom lawrence wrote then youd love bitchin betty on the rec nav unit. if possible make a u-turn......turn ahead......in 500 feet turn right...... yep - im well-acquainted with betty on my rb1. i always thought it would be nice to be able to load alternate-personality modules on that as well. you are currently travelling in an area where turn-by-turn guidance can not be provided. use the directional arrows to guide you would become nice going jackass - youre lost. good luck finding your way out of this mess. i think i saw a gas station about 1/2 mile back. i think we need an alternate personality module with random warnings 1. ignore that man behind the dash! 2. caution - you are travelling in an area where helium has no weight! 3. caution - you have exceeded maximum drivers seat temperature. 4. beware - bunny suited pedestrian zone ahead. 5. caution - hitch propeller drag coefficient exceeds tailgate laminar flow. anyone else care to contribute to the list 6. caution - driver prone to make smartass remarks about heated leather seats. ;^ mike .
