Weight capacity Dodge Ram 2500

From : charles

Q: ive had 14000 gross on my tires and axles 2000my 2500 series and im good on those to 12000. your 10000 should be ok with the truck. no sure how the registration authority will feel. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author we have a 2001 dodge ram 2500 cummins 24 valve td quad cab long bed. we bought a camper recently and weighed the unit today. it weighs 10280 lbs with camper empty two persons. both axles are within the specified gawr. camper tag says 3000 lbs and i figured around 6800 for the truck so that is not much more than i expected. however list gvwr is 8800 lbs. truck handles just fine and feels just fine with this load on it. i really dont notice any handling difference with load on or off. i do notice a slight performance hill climbing at high elevation difference. camper sets rear of truck down 3.75 inches and sets the front of the bed down 1.625 inches. i have air bags with 15 psi. they can take up to 100 psi. truck has camper helper spring and sway bar package on it from factory. i have 10 ply load range e snow tires with studs. right now they are 70 lbs but i can put them up to 80. air bags say they do not increase load capacity. not sure if camper helper springs and sway bar do or not. it does not seem as campers much lighter than this can be bought and dealer said it was just fine for this truck but i needed air bags. suggestions advice thanks in advance charles .

my front speakers in my 1999 slt have quit working. is there an amplifier or connection common to only the front speakers i replaced the stereo so i know the problem is not there. both front door speakers and the small speakers near the winshield have quit working. connector to the back of radio is in great condition and fits snugly. any help would be appreciated. rbari at sbcglobal.net .

in my state massachusetts if a person pulls out of a private driveway or business driveway they are at fault 100% unless the person already in that road way is on the wrong side of the road. the driver that is coming from the non-public funded road has to yield to= all on-coming traffic. your state may have different road rules check them out! kurt p.s. that was a nice truck. on thu 17 nov 2005 101909 -0700 nathan w. collier invalid@email.com wrote see http//inlinediesel.com/forum/topic.asptopicid=3d121 for pictures. my wife had just left a stop sign and was driving approximately 30mph in= a=20 35mph zone on a city street. a truck pulling out of a bank parking lot=20 somehow didnt see my wife in her quad cab long bed 1 ton truck and he=20 t-boned her. due to e-mail spamming bots my reply address is incorrect. .

hemi the only engine that matters when it comes to fuel economy. its the worst engine produced on the market ever. the delay in production was because it would not pass the current year smog standards when most other manufacturers were 5 years ahead. hemi sorry would not buy one. .
