I know the new trucks have the brake controller but I know of guys that haul heavy talking upwards of 20k and the controller doesn't put out enough to stop the trailer and have had to go to an after market unit in order to get proper stopping power. Heard this before?

Question for a customer that called me;
He has a 2010 3500 and is putting a camper shell on it., He can not find where to hook up the wiring for the 3rd brake light on the back end. Is it available on the rear end or must he run wiring back to the cab for it?

Yes, there is a Center High Mounted Stop Lamp feed circuit at the rear of the frame. Left frame rail at the rear crossmember by the spare tire. Look for a small white wire.

One more suggestion, for the audio guys.
While the MyGig system is great and most guys who opt for it leave it in place, a lot of people do swap out the lower end factory head unit for aftermarket. How about on the non-navigation vehicles, going to a radio opening that is Double Din, so that an aftermarket unit would be an exact fit and allow for a clean look in the dash.

Does Ram offer, or ever plan to offer as an option, either an approved or even a factory suspension lift system for the 3/4 and 1 ton Diesel trucks? This seems to be a very popular option that a lot of us do to our trucks

They are all standard elictric brakes, have been used on multiple trailers, same out come on that truck. Dealer can't figure out why.

Here is a question for the cummins guy. At what pressure/s does the new injection system operate? and what potential do they have over a stock application? I was talking to a generator installer and wanted to get more information.
Thanks
Thanks
