If there is anyone out there that has a Conqueror UEV-490 within a half day drive of Washington DC and wouldn't mind showing it to me, please send me a PM. With the lack of expos until next Oct in the area I'd like to see a UEV-490 to make a purchasing decision. I occasionally see them for sale...

I'm biased as the owner of a 17 Ram 2500 with the G56 manual (hence the G56 in the user name). I love the manual and agree that torque management is horrible and if I load any boost pulling out the clutch slips so I understand why they restricted torque. I'm still planning my clutch upgrade and...

I'm far from an expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn. I believe there were changes to the emissions systems and the 2014+ Rams are less likely to have emissions related problems. I'm not a mechanic, just an owner of a fully stock engine 2017 Ram 2500 Diesel with 57k miles and no problems to...

Older gas powered Durangos, Dakotas, 1500s had transmission issues (2500s too) but the newer ones are pretty stout if left at/near stock HP and not beat up. I ran a 98 Durango to 200k miles with a minor transmission repair and nothing else until it started burning oil and the flywheel let loose...

They are on instagram if you search PaxG56. If you don't have IG I can text you some if you PM me. I created that account so I wouldn't have to backup my computer. I keep getting blue screens of death since my desktop has Windows 7 and it isn't supported but I haven't bothered to get a new...

....and the lift is 3", tires are roughly 6" over stock so the total height different is 6" overall but those tires give it a look like it is a lot higher. Ram bumpers are already high so you'll need 12-14" drop hitch for lower trailers and ~10" for anything else. I use an adjustable Bulletproof...

I'm running almost exactly what you are looking at for an option - 2017 Ram 2500 Megacab with 3" DS, 40" Toyo MT, Amp steps, bunch of other stuff like new gears, steering assist, lockers, etc.. If you have an instagram account my handle is the same as here PaxG56. I just started the account a...

The timing won't work for this trip but I like the direction you are going. We definitely need more quality built options with suspensions. I'm a huge fan of the work you are doing on your trailer and if it was just the wife an I it would be on the short list. The 5'7" child is my daughter and...

I stopped posting to this thread because I came to a similar conclusion and was going to let it die a slow death. I'll report back with my solution for the search archives if I figure it out. I've done many weekend and week + trips in the past but for those of us on the east coast to explore...

I'm not familiar with your particular alternator but if you are near an industrial area or larger city a rebuild might be a better option. I've had bad luck with remanufactured units and found that a local starter/alternator shop can typically do a better job and sometimes at a more reasonable...

Rubitrux in Boone NC. They specialize in Jeeps and are known for Hemi conversions but are knowledgeable on Ram as well and installed my AEV Prospector XL package 2 years ago and I was very happy with the work. They aren't necessarily a truck build shop so if you are looking for something other...

As the owner of a 2500 I wouldn't consider a gas Ram if you plan to haul 1k+ in the bed full time. My recommendation would be diesel and a 3500 but there are certainly people that have done it with gas 2500s. I wouldn't expect better than single digit mpg unless the bed is empty and you don't...

Follow up to my follow up... I really do appreciate what goes into each manufacturers process since every individual has different wants, needs, price point, and timeline. Most offerings seems to fall into a very limited set of options and I was hoping there was more out there. I guess that is...

Thanks, I really wish intech made something a little bigger but I'll keep looking. There are a lot of reasonably priced choices if you are willing to commit to pavement. I'm trying to be realistic in how much offroading I really plan to do. The reality is probably not much since I have to...

A lot of good advice and I recommend going to a Ford forum as well to see if you can find something there. When it comes to TPMS and weights the vehicle is as important as tires and load. I'm running a Ran 2500 diesel and my dash warnings used to alert at 70psi. Had it recalibrated to 50psi but...

Smart upgrades and a great price GLWS! I can't find these for sale anywhere on the east coast.

I hadn't looked at the OP15 previously, thanks for the tip. Hard yes on the AC. I've done without and high humidity plus high temperature doesn't make for a good nights sleep. It looks like the OP15 is challenging to find too. I was looking a little harder at the Conqueror forums overseas and...

Longtime lurker..new poster... I've owned a couple of travel trailers and rented others, with my schedule clearing up this summer it might finally be the time for the 30 day epic trip to explore the west. I'm on the east coast of the US so the travel time has been a limiting factor. I have a...
