RE: Towing 5th with mega cab DWR Short bed?
The rear base wt is ~ 3300 lbs.
The rear GAWR is 9350 lbs
2600 lbs payload... really???
Agree.....when we bought our 08 mega DWD ... figured weight wouldn't be a problem with a dually and it wasn't...never any issues starting/stopping...stopped at CAT scales one day coming back from a typical trip and discovered my payload was right at 4000 lb...

RE: What kind of Florida snake was this
Looks like a Pine Snake. Harmless, non-venomous. Protected in some states.
Agree...surprised it even got close to the nest...most barnyard fowl will harass a snake until they force it to leave.....

RE: Reality TV shows are degrading
Agree...."Dirty Jobs" the best...rest are trash except for "Finding Bigfoot" thats all about real live animals...
Also is there an unwritten rule that in order to host a show...you must be tatted & pierced from head to toe???

RE: Tire shop in Knoxville area for 19.5 balancing?
I run 19.5 as well...make sure they have the proper wheel balance machine or odds are you won't be happy...you need the one that uses the lug holes to mount the tire...not the other kind that uses the hub...they're ok for passenger type tires but its almost impossible to get a truck tire exactly centered...GL

Sani-Con problem....
Bought the pump about 4 years ago for "just in case"....this isn't a permanent mount. Only actually used it a couple of times and was glad I had it. Wired current trailer like the old one...straight from the battery...tested for voltage and tester says I have plenty..ran a continuity check on the pump and its a go. As a last check...plugged in pump turned on switch and nothing.
Read manual it says turn the manual operated screw a few times CW & CCW and no help...as a last check cut the new plug ends off and wired it directly to an extra battery I have in the work room and nothing.
Is there some sort of built in fuse I'm missing? Any other suggestions?

RE: What is your payload rating on your yellow sticker
The first poster go it right.
'05 Chevy dually, it weights 8,000 empty. The sum of the axle weights is 13,300. That leaves me 5,300 payload.
Like the way you think....I agree
Weighed our rig loaded for a typical trip...payload was 4,000lb contrary to the sticker

RE: Rotochocks
Ever think of auto-leveling first then putting the Rotochoks on?
The first thing I do when arriving at a spot is to chock the wheels so the trailer stays put while I'm disconnecting the hitch.....

RE: Rotochocks
Don't know if your rig has the self leveling system but they don't work very well with them....on our Bighorn they worked great....on our current rig not so great...they hold the trailer in place until you engage the auto leveling...the AL takes enough weight off the springs to allow the roto chuck to fall off...GL

RE: 2W vs 4WD?
Hardly ever use mine but when I need it...glad I got it....also another factor to consider is generally the 4x4 will sit higher than a 2x4...GL

RE: Our new truck !
Mind telling me what the payload is on the door sticker?
Here ya go....don't know how they come up with these figures but with my old truck & trailer(DWD 3500 & Bighorn)...I routinely carried 3,700 lbs payload per CAT scales.....probably in the same area with my current rig...GL
