Hi folks, new Dodge owner joining up. I put 4,000 miles on a Ford with the "AWESOME" 6.0 Diesel (Bad @ 110,000 miles: egr cooler, head gaskets, turbo, oil pump) and took the roach back to the dealer. Have been test driving a 2wd quad cab 3500 dually with 60,000 miles and the Cummins in it.......what a engine!! Hopefully I can set it up to pull my sled trailer this season without much trouble, that's my only concern. I absolutely love this truck, what a beast. Any guidance on improvements I can do or any I should not do would be greatly appreciated. I am not mechanically challenged, so bring it! Thanks in advance folks, and a chilly "how do" from south central Michigan.......home of the worst state government in the nation.

 

Welcome to the DTR!

What year is your new truck?

 

I'm sorry, duh! It's a 2005, has the 24 valve, all stock w/4.10 gears and a posi.

 

Sweet!

Please take the time to fill out your signature...Click HERE if you need help.

A programmer will really wake your truck up, just gotta be careful you've got the mods to support it.

You will be able to pull your sled trailer just fine...

What kinda sled(s) do you have?

I'm shopping for one, myself...

 

Pulling isn't a issue, it's keeping the traction in the slippery stuff. Can i run a Edge programmer with my stock truck? Tried the signature thing, appeared I did it right but nothing is showing.

 

Scratch that, there it is.

 

Edge will work.

Some weight in the bed and studded snows should keep you moving.
