    Towing experts?

    Ok, got it, I've been doing lots of research this week and have read ALL these replys at least twice and I'm convinced now, I will order one, I will look at the tires, and rating, these are a bit of a off road tire as this unit has some extra ground clearance so I suspect they will be fine but...

    Plymouth67 I do like that hitch I'll look into it, I work in the marine industry do can purchase my stuff including hitch wholesale. I'll see if my suppliers sell that one.

    Towing experts?

    Well the general consensus here is get and use the WD hitch which is most likely what I am going to do, most of the responses here are from people towing very heavy rigs, the only reason I posted this is because this rig is only 20ft and 3400lbs therefore maybe I didn't need them BUT because...

    Towing experts?

    My Ram is a limited so yes it has the brake controller built in, I'll check the trailer tires but there new and installed by the trailer manufacturer so I suspect and hope they are correct.

    Towing experts?

    So to clarify, yes this is a camping RV, I have towed using a antisway device using this truck but a slightly heavier trailer and it towed nicely and as mentioned weight distribution is key, I don't plan on loading this trailer with a lot when traveling I have a truck bed for that. My gut tells...

    Towing experts?

    27 gallons I believe so just under 300 lbs, with gear probably 4500lbs max so well under the 5k recommended, hence my hesitation to get them, honestly it's not the cost just the pia hooking up each time.

    Towing experts?

    Thanks Jaws, agree on the single axle, I was was looking for a very specific RV, and although I would have preferred a tandem axle thus checked all the other box,s and had extra ground clearance, the trailer/ truck should be leval with the auto leval air bag I also plan on putting most my gear...

    Towing experts?

    Ok, so this isn't A body related but it is if you tow one, lol, here's my question although I have towed many boats in my profession I don't tow a lot of RV,s. My wife and I just purchased a new RV on the weekend, it's 20 feet long, single torsion axle and weighs 3500 lbs so fairly lightweight...

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    I think your correct, as there is no white wire entering the column except for a tiny one as mentioned earlier I a ribbon for the cruise control. I have no idea what this column came from, possibly something that had separate signal lights as suggested. Any all is good!

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    FIXED!!!! So reading through the thread supplied by @Dana67Dart.... @67Dart273 suggested this idea above. FYI back when I originally wired this up I did map the wires to see what was what and that is how I determined how to wire the lights to the column to get the signals to flash but I could...

    This idea.....

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    Dana67dart, after reading your diagram and post, it was mentioned that a trailer convertor box might work, it seems simple enough, brake wire input, left signal input, and right signal inputs into the convertor then left signal/brake out and right signal/ brake out, I've installed these for...

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    Thanks guys, this morning just for s and g I ran 12v thru the brown wire and yellow wires I mentioned I didn't use coming out of the steering column just to see if they would power up the brake lights, a hail Mary, but nothing...I'm going to study the charts you just posted dana67dart thankyou...

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    But I guess that's what I'm essentially doing right now, just at the wire near the light instead of the front?

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    I wonder what would happen if I took the 12v output from the brake light switch ( which currently goes direct to the rear lights) then spliced that into the two supply wires to the rear lights leaving the column to the rear signals? In theory that would interrupt the supply through the flasher...

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    That is actually how I figured out what wires to use for the signal outputs, I do not remember if I figured out the four unused 16 ga wires, that was all done about two and a half years ago, I'm not sure if I kept that chart I may have to create another?

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    Also, I should add I am NOT using the ignition in the column they ignition key is in the dash so that circuit is there, this and the cruise control are why many of the wires mentioned above are not used.

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    Ok, I've taken a look at the wires, here was what I have...purple, green,blue,black with yellow tracer, and black with blue tracer, these are the wires that I used, I believe I used the purple as power up the column and the other four went out to the four corner signals. There is also a black...

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    Murry, it did have that switch, threw it away years ago, not the look I was going for, this is a hot rod, hence the tilt column so I am using the internal wiring in the column, ( the best I can ) . Mopardude62, thanks for the diagram and idea , honestly after doing some reading I think I have...

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    Thankyou for the replies, Dana67dart and Murry, I agree the reason that there not functioning properly is because I didn't send the brakes through the signal circuit I just don't know how to do it? So Dana67dart if you find that diagram I'll be grateful. 273 I watched the video, it's...

    Who knows about turn signal wiring?

    Ok, this is on my 56 Dodge truck, FYI, there is no stock wiring I have completely re-wired it from scratch. EVERYTHING works, gauges, lights etc. Here is my issue, the round tail lights for the utiline box which have LED 1157 equivalent bulbs work when you step on the brakes and when you operate...

    Any service managers or ex service mangers?

    Yy1....for clarity proficiency is what we're trying to improve, typically in the marine industry a good tech will be around 80-85% its pretty hard to break that because of numerous marine related factors and no flat rate the junior techs will be around 70 to 75 so if we can tweak those up a...

    Any service managers or ex service mangers?

    It's funny reading all the post from the guys that have worked flat rate automotive shops, that was my world for 30 years before I moved to marine and it seems nothing has changed there. I'm actually taking my 2019 Ram in tomorrow to the dealer for a small warranty job, but honestly I don't know...

    Any service managers or ex service mangers?

    Well, I was also thinking profit sharing, pretty easy, the shop makes money, so do the techs, bonus plans can cause so much drama and its difficult to structure with " wip" just don't think I'm going to be able to convince my business partners so I may have to try something just to apeaze them...
