RE: Installing a clean out at home
I have literally 125' of 3" pipe from my threaded opening to septic tank and I dump 100 gallons or more at a time FULL BORE at my RV pad with several years of Summer use with ZERO issues.

RE: Greetings and weight question
Not to pop your bubble but your truck has 3.42’s NOT 3.73’s unless someone changed them.
You should have researched the truck before buying anything. A 12k 5er LOADED is a good rig for your truck.
Sure your truck will TOW IT but it won’t CARRY IT !!!
According to Chrystler.com here is the window sticker showing 3.73.

Aslo on the Ram towing guide page it says 17,100lbs Max towing and 2,270 Max Payload. Maybe I am missing something?
It's 3.42 plain and simple on "ANY SRW" newer Diesel RAM thru 2018.

Okay I got it.
Now this confuses me even more, because the screen shot you posted says 3,160# payload, and 17,980# Tow.
When I go to the Ram Towing guide web page and put in the Vin# I get 2,270 Payload and 17,100# towing.
Meh, what the hell to believe!!!!
Chart shows ALL trucks to be regular cab. Look up 2018 RAM towing SAE guides and you can find the chart that looks like this but with proper configuration.
Bottom line weigh your rear axle loaded subtract from your RAWR and that is how much pin you can add.

RE: storing power cord on new f'ver
I simply push up or down on my rocker switch to extend or retrieve my factory built in SO cord. I also have a separate one as pictured if needed that coils into a small circle that fits into whatever nook or cranny available.

RE: Ram CP3 swap
I have owned ALL brands of trucks. Cummins has been very good to me as has RAM. 5 RAM trucks with well over 500,000 miles accumulated I have good reason for loyalty.
To bad you didn't own one of those special +07.5 6.7 cummins trucks to reinforce your loyalty. My BIL had a special 09 cummins and sold it after 9 months of continuous problems. He went back to one of the good 5.9 trucks.
Doubt I would have had issues since I don't grocery get my trucks. But yes they did have issues but they DID take care of their customers and fix the problem UNLIKE another Manufacturer.

RE: Greetings and weight question
"So I can tow a 16# trailer no problem, just can't haul the weight on the pin."
Weigh your trucks rear axle loaded. Subtract that from your RAWR. Now the that number x 4 that will give you the weight of a loaded 5er with 25%pin you can tow. Take that number x 5 that is the weight of a loaded 5er with 20% pin you can tow.

RE: Which shocks?
Same thing. 5100 is for stock to 2” lift. 4600 stock only. I own both. I prefer color on 5100’s.

RE: Ram CP3 swap
I have not heard of a newer Ford/Bosch issue.
I realize you want this pump to be reliable because Cummins is now using it. You really have to give your head a shake, 2017 F250 CP4 BOOM!
I really don’t care as time will tell. It sure is not going to stop me from buying a 2020. If at that time there are failures and denials of warranty I won’t buy one.
There are failures on everything but I stand by what I said there don’t seem to be many issues or denials on the newer Fords.

RE: Installing a clean out at home
3" or 4" PVC or ABS is all fine. The cleanout is the RV connection point. Be sure it's 1/4" per foot slope minimum. YES 4" can be laid to 1/8" per foot but I would NOT recommend doing so!!!.

RE: Why 4.1 axle?
My Ram 3500 SRW only came with a 3.4 rear end. I was worried but it tows great. Buzz up every hill in the western US without breaking a sweat - with a 12,000 lb toy hauler.
I towed 29k combined with 3.42’s in 5th 1,750 rpm at 60 same as 4.10’s in 6th at 60. Only issue was getting the load rolling on a steeper grade. If I had the AISIN in the 11 DRW it would have been perfect.
