RE: Tips on how to hook up at an extreme angle?
I can't tell you how many times in the past 15+ years I've been reading RV fora, that slide hitch owners have said they spent the extra money for a slider, then never used it. More than a few said that the one time they needed it, the slides had rusted up so bad that they couldn't even use it or had to beat hell out of it to get it to move. Just sayin'...
Lyle
Friends with a F350 SB bought a big Toy Hauler and had a manual slide. I warned them to be very careful and told the wife to be firm with her hubby about using the slide. He took a big turn in the parking lot without sliding and sure enough blew out the rear window.

RE: Tips on how to hook up at an extreme angle?
FWIW, the B&W Companions can be hooked up at pretty extreme angles, if needed. Just sayin'...

Another great suggestion if you like conventional hitches . Those auto slides from what I have seen are more trouble than they are worth .
B&W does not make an auto slide. B&W owner is friends with PulRite owner and has not designed and made an auto slide because of their relationship.

RE: hitch questions
Sell the hitch, install the pucks and buy the B&W Puck Hitch.
Nuff Said.

RE: Extensive Traveling with a 5th Wheel
I don't think these alternative steps would be around if they would have installed quality solid steps like I have on my DRV.

RE: Fifth wheel chucking (practical help needed)
FIRST thing is know your loaded weights. Now what does your rear axle weigh? Look up your weight/inflation chart for your specific tire size and load range. Find the tire weight suggestion for that tire and add 5psi. How does that number compare to the pressure you are running.
I am willing to bet your rear tires are over inflated.

RE: Carbon ceramic pads question
He is ahead $ by far for one reason, curiosity is another reason. Fact is he knows his engine is in good condition running these extended miles having a quality report to back it up. First long mileage was by accident. I really was cringing at what that test report was going to find.
I am NOT saying AMZ/OIL is better than other oils but I guarantee they are better than most. FYI they started the Synthetic Oil craze in the 70's. PenZoil was so threatened by them that the took AMZ/OIL to court over the "Z" and so the "S" now looks like a "Z" backwards.
If this sample comes back good to go then he can just change it at that mileage from now on. FYI he is a Landscape contractor and his truck gets driven 50 miles each way during the week pulling the landscape trailer so it's light duty for that engine.

RE: Carbon ceramic pads question
Make sure it has AMZ/OIL in it top to bottom.

Where's that API label 12V? Yeah... Another long story!
Not worth the cost.
How about my friends 13 RAM went 23 0r 24k and Blackstone said to go 1 or 2 k longer next time. He is at 28k now and I will show report when I get it if anyone is interested.

RE: Carbon ceramic pads question
An “S” and a “Z” don’t look anything alike - they’re total opposites.
There is history behind my sarcastic statement.

RE: Carbon ceramic pads question
I've never worn the brakes, to need replacement, before I replaced the vehicle, so can't add much here.
I will say my forum buddy 12v gives factual info!! Even his marketing is coming from experience that he believes in.

RE: Carbon ceramic pads question
My goodness. I started this thread to find out if using carbon fiber ceramic pads are compatible with stock rotors. I never, in a million years, thought that it would cause the same stir as Ford v. Chevy v. Ram. Lol
Stick around, we will debate hitches next.

RE: Carbon ceramic pads question
My 98 RAM/CUMMINS 4x4 even with a lengthy commute hardly made it past 50k on the front pads. Rear drums simply never wore out they just finally started cracking. I even removed the rear proportioning valve and added GM 1-1/8" wheel cylinders. Lousy brakes systems are lousy brake systems.
On my 15 running Tow Haul and Exhaust Brake at start of the engine every time I hardly touch the brakes. So based on that 150k is nothing.

RE: Anderson Ultimate hitch part needed
If their customer service is anything like B&W they will ship you what you need overnight.
They ship overnight if needed ;)
YES that is what I meant by NEED. Normal replacement parts come in a big hurry.

Heck..
