An Eagle Cap Camper Snapped A Ram 3500 Dually In Half, Mopar Refuses $17,000 Repair Bill

I feel bad for the poor bastard. Either he does not have a clue or he was sold a bill of goods and the bill finally came due.
A 1/2 ton truck is just that it can carry a 1/2 ton…1,000lbs.
3/4 ton. 1,500lbs and a 1ton 2,000lbs
Now manufactures play around with those number like my Ram 3500 single rear wheel carries 2,000lbs perfectly like a lady.
But distributed evenly in the bed. Nothing about hanging off past the bumper that much or does it have airbags… Cummins or not. Part of owning any vehicle for hauling is routine inspections. All my trucks get annual inspections and one of the first items checks is the frame. Inspected for cracks, welds and rust. Being his is rather new I doubt rust comes into play. I also bet as a “Monday morning quarterback” he was not getting it inspected or even will admit he was hearing weird noises days before it split on two.
