  • Edge Programmer that Does Fit 2015 Ram 1500 with a 5.7
  • We have programmers that do fit your 2015 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 liter like the SuperChips part # SU3545 but the CS2 you mentioned is not a fit. The programmer and tuner world typically moves pretty slow for Mopar vehicles as their computers are harder to get into.

  • How Far Apart Are the Mounting Holes on the Bristol Waste Valves
  • The four bolt pattern of the flange on the waste water valves is an industry standard so you don't really have to worry about measuring the bolt hole spacing. However, to address your specific question the bolt holes are spaced 3.73" apart but depending on how exact you were measuring, you could get anywhere from 2-5/8" to 2-3/4" as its hard to get the exact center of each hole. Therefore, the Bristol Waste Valve Body for RV Black Water part # 34439240 will work for you just fine. The only...

  • Ladder Rack for 2019 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2-foot Bed
  • Thule's TracRac SR sliding ladder racks like # TH43002XT-781EX are not offered for your 2019 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2-foot bed so there is no way to adapt one made for a 6-1/2-foot bed truck. We do have TracRac fixed ladder racks for your Ram 1500 such as Thule's Xsporter # TH500XTB and others shown on the linked page. I can't recommend you cut the rails since this will both void your warranty and potentially affect the functionality of the rack. For a moderately-priced quality aluminum rack...

  • Frame or Cross-Member Mount Hitch Recommended for 2014 Ram 1500 w/ 3.6L V6 Engine
  • Whether you use a frame mounted hitch assembly like # 14374 or the receiver only type hitch that mounts to the factory crossmember like # 13333 will depend on the capacity you're looking for. A frame mounted hitch such as the Curt Class IV hitch # 14374 offers a 10000 lb towing/1000 lb tongue weight capacity which is greater than the capacity of your truck as it's equipped, so you'd be paying for extra capacity that you couldn't use. The # 13333 hitch that would bolt to the cross member...

  • Can I Adjust My Shift Points Using The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner On My 2014 Ram 1500?
  • Availability of specific tunes may vary based on your vehicle’s make and model for the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU3845, but these are the preset tunes that come with your tuner. Each will have their own way of tweaking the air to fuel ratio and/or the shift points automatically. You can also perform your own advanced tuning to tweak your shift points how you want it. I HIGHLY recommend reading through your user manual before you start your advanced tune. Here are a list...

  • Parts Needed to Upgrade 4-Way of Trailer to 7-Way
  • The type of adapter you'd want to use is a 7-way upgrade kit like part # HS381-9000 since you are wanting to use more circuits than the standard 4-way. This comes with everything needed to install and would make the job very easy and simple as well due to the junction box.

  • Comparing Sliding Hitch and Sidewinder for 5th Wheel Towing With a 2020 Ram 1500 5.5 Bed
  • The best option I have for a 2020 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2' bed would be to use the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550040 which would require the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit part # DM8552032-71. The reason this is the best option is because it allows you to make full 90 degree turns without having to change out the pin box on the trailer. It is actually the only sliding fifth wheel hitch with enough travel to do this...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Connector Location on 2019 Ram 1500
  • In your 2019 Ram 1500 the under-dash port to connect a trailer brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 using the Ram wiring adapter part # 3024-P will be found under the dash, above the gas pedal. The Ram connector and harness may be tucked up out of the way and may also be taped to other wiring to secure it. You may find a foam cap on the connector too, as our technician did. If you refer to the linked video at the 2:30 mark you'll see where our technician found the connector on...

  • Weight Distribution and Sway Bar for 24 Foot Enclosed Trailer with Limited Tongue Length
  • For your short tongue on your new trailer, I recommend the Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution systems with sway Control. This will give you the friction sway bar that will help control sway, but will need to be disconnected prior to backing up. I've attached an article to assist. If the hanger locations won't allow the brackets, you can use the Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On # C17005 as the hangers. Curt Short-Arm Weight Distribution System with Sway Control...

  • Installing the Rampage Light bar on a 2020 Ram 1500
  • The Rampage # RA960137 Tailgate Light Bar you referenced is NOT a fit for your 2020 Ram 1500. However, the Rampage # RA960134 IS a confirmed fit for your Ram. The light bar plugs into your 4-pole trailer lighting connector. If your truck does not have this connector you can install the Hopkins # 41155 Simple Wiring Harness. I have included links to these product pages and a review video.

  • How To Determine Correct Hanger Spacing with Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs
  • In regards to the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs part # APS4, we only have measurements available for select leaf springs such as the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e84SR which is for 2,000 lbs axles. If these were the springs that were being used then the hangers would need to be spaced apart 20" on center. If you are using a different leaf spring which is the case here then you would need to mock the hangers up on the trailer with the leaf spring to find the...

  • Recommended Bump Stop Replacement Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Ram 1500 New Body
  • Due to the better ride quality they'd provide, I'd recommend the SumoSprings Solo, part # SSR-307-47 over the Timbren # TDR1500DQ springs you'd looked at. The SumoSprings offer up to 1500 lbs of additional support, and will help level, absorb bumps and minimize sway and body roll during turns. The springs offer progressive load control, which means that the more weight that's applied, the stiffer they become. This means that you'll still have a comfortable ride under light or no loads...

  • Will the Rhino Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier Fit on Adarac Ladder Rack Crossbars
  • Yes. The Rhino Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # S512 will fit on the 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" cross bars of an Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack like the # A4000965 (5-1/2 foot bed) or # A49FR (6-1/2 foot bed).
