Expert Answers about Ram 4500


  • Recommended Air Bag Helper Springs and Compressor System For a 2021 Ram 4500 Cab and Chassis
  • I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2404 for your 2021 Ram 4500. These air springs are rated at 5,600lbs which is higher than the 5,140lb payload capacity of your Ram. Do remember that the air springs will not increase your payload, they only assist in supporting the weight with your suspension. I recommend using the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980EZ to easily adjust the air pressure in your air bags. This compressor system can be controlled by either...

  • Recommended Heavy Duty 7-Way Trailer Wiring That Will Last
  • A standard Bargman 7-Way cable like the 11' part # HM20048 will have a similar quality as the Hopkins equivalent. If you're wanting something a bit more durable then I recommend the Bargman 7-Way, RV-Style Connector w/ 6' Heavy Duty Insulated Cable # 54006-057. This wiring actually comes with a 1-year limited warranty which initially doesn't sound great but for the world of wiring it's pretty good. Attached are some review videos for you to check out!

  • HappiJac Extension Brackets For Camper Jacks To Fit With Flat Bed Truck
  • The Swing Out Extension Brackets # LC182496 can be left in the out position and not swung in. Since your 2010 Ram 4500 has a flat bed the part I think you are looking for is the HappiJac Extender Bracket # HJ54FR. This is a fixed extender that does not have swing in/out function.

  • Will Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Adapter Bind When Used With Flatbed Truck
  • Binding will not be an issue at all in a flatbed truck like yours when using the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G. You just need to be sure you have enough space in the recessed location, as the cut out needs to be larger than 7 inches wide x 5 inches long, and so long as it is you're set, because those are the dimensions of the base on the # CAB-C5G.

  • Demco Recon Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter that Can be Used with CM Flat Bed
  • Demco makes a special version of the Recon hitch for flat bed applications that have recessed balls actually! So what you'd want instead is the part # DM8550046. This has a shorter overall height to make up for the additional height of the flat bed truck and has the portion that attaches to the ball sit a bit lower. I attached a picture of this installed on a flat bed truck similar ot yours for you to check out as well.

  • Replacement Power Cords For TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers # TM89FR
  • I'm guessing you are referring to the Signal Booster # VAL29RB on the TireMinder i10 TPMS for RVs and Trailers # TM89FR. This is the only way we carry the booster and we do not have a replacement cord. Otherwise if you are referring to the monitor connection it is simply a USB to MicroUSB # 332-HDEZ4 which plugs into a 12 Volt Plug Connector # MA67DR. You likely already have something like this as it was very commonly used with cell phones and other devices. If you are looking for a different...

  • How to Determine Safety Chain Weight Capacity
  • The safety chains need to exceed the loaded weight of the trailer not the axle capacity. If the loaded weight of your trailer is significantly under 3500 lbs then a 3500 lb safety chain is fine. I have attached a link to all of the safety chains that we carry for your reference.

  • 2018 Ram 4500 Not Recognizing A Trailer Is Connected
  • The actuator kicking on and then off when you plug it into your 2018 Ram 4500, sounds like it is the system being primed. As far as your truck not recognizing the trailer goes, the truck needs to see resistance of the trailer's brakes to recognize a trailer is connected, if it doesn't see this, it won't activate the brake controller. Additionally, I recommend checking your trailer plug connection and your ground connections ensure they are clean, and free of debris and dirt.

  • How To Switch From Electric Drum Brakes To EOH Disc Brakes For 10k General Duty Dexter Axles
  • Since we don't know for sure what you axle is I do recommend first contacting Dexter and to try and confirm exactly what kind of axle you have. If you haven't really looked at them I do recommend getting under the trailer and trying to find a tag because it will make this process much easier. Assuming you have Dexter 10k general duty axles there will be two choices depending on the hub: Option 1: Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11HD, which uses the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly...

  • Gooseneck Hitch for 2018 Ram 4500 Flatbed
  • We do offer a 30,000-lb-rated gooseneck hitch for your 2018 Ram 4500 flatbed, B&W kit # BWGNRK1500, but it does require cutting and welding for installation. This B&W hitch requires you to cut a 4-inch diameter hole in the bed and to weld the hitch in place. The hitch ball and safety chain hookups are included. The written instructions and a brief review video are linked for reference. We do not offer any gooseneck hitches that are a purely bolt-on installation.

  • Valve Extender Options For A 2023 Ram 4500 Dually With 19.5" Tires
  • The correct valve extenders for your 2023 Ram 4500 will depend on a couple of factors. First we'll need to determine the correct angle so that the extenders can sit properly and then we'll need to determine how they need to be mounted. If you have a hub cover to rivet the mounting bracket to then you can use the 90 degree # WM8001 or 135 degree # WM8001-135. For a hand hole mount you can use part # WM8009, and for a wheel cover mount you can use part # WM8208.

  • How to Install a Brake Controller in a GMC 4500 Cutaway RV Savana
  • If you look under the dash of your 2014 GMC Savana 4500 RV cutaway there should be a wire bundle held together with white tape. The bundle should be located under the left side of the instrument panel and to the left of the steering column. The wires can be identified by a white label and the color of the wires. The wire colors are (1) Red/Black wire, (1) White wire, (1) Light Blue/White wire and (1) Dark Blue wire and possibly (1) Orange wire. You will hardwire in the controller as follows: Van...

  • Will B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500 Fit CM SK Truck Bed
  • The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1500 that you referenced is a universal application that is welded on to steel flatbeds when it comes to the installation. It isn't fitguided to fit your CM SK truck bed but as long as its steel you can reference the linked installation instructions to ensure fitment. I confirmed this with my contact at B&W.

  • Adjusting Electric Brake Assemblies on Trailer Drop Axle
  • I'm not sure which brake adjustment tool you have but on our PT # W80630 there are two sides that can be used. The end with the 90 degree bend is designed for adjusting electric brakes on drop axles like yours, which will allow you to access that hard-to-reach star wheel adjuster. There's not really an additional trick or easier method for this process. I have attached a demonstration video below that you might also find helpful. You can skip ahead to the 4:35 mark to watch our installer...
