Hi guys, I recently picked up a 2009 (see signature for specs) mostly for towing my 23' 5500lb 5th wheel. I'm looking forward to having more truck than trailer for once. The truck is a one owner with 109K miles. It was owned by an older gentleman (75-ish) and has never been modified. The only negative is that he put about $3000 into it because it shut down on him on the highway 2 summers ago. This was his company truck (accountant for a contractor) and driven mostly around town. I'm guessing that had something to due with it? Anyway... I'm interested in knowing what I should be monitoring gauge wise? I already have the Torque App Pro version and would love to continue using it, but I'm not opposed to adding gauges like Glow Shift or UltraGauge if they're better or needed? Currently I only take the Ram out on days off and run it on the highway, taking the long way to run errands etc. When camping season starts I plan on traveling just a couple of hours away and maybe up to 300 miles one way, that will be our biggest towing adventure to date. I was too nervous to tow anything that far with my Ram 1500 5.9 V8. Thanks in advance for any education you can give.

Here's a pic. It's basically a truck.

That's a nice looking ride...I also just acquired a 2009 to replace my beloved 2003 (story here)...I haven't added any gauges to this one yet, but I plan to when the money supply allows...My previous truck (a 6 speed handshaker) had Autometer boost ant EGT gauges, and I felt that was all I ever needed for my purposes......Ben
