My camp kitchen set up nice simple coleman stove right on the tailgate pull it out of the tote and ready to cook , directly behind the stove is the tote that we keep non perishables and seasonings in and just to the right is a dometic fridge. The fridge is probably one of my favorite items since...
I liked it up until they unveiled what it looked like, its just a silverado 2500 HD with hummer badges. It definitely looks better than the tesla door wedge truck and will compete well against it but wish GM hadn't got us all excited about them bringing back the hummer. when it's just a...
Woo Hoo another 3rd Gen Mega Cab, I don't run a cap personally but I think putting some sort of roof rack on the cap would work better. It would transfer the weight to the edges where there is more structural support.
Here's my set up no cap bed so probably not much help.
I haven't been on in awhile but here she is in all her glory
2006 Ram 2500 Mega Cab 5.9 Cummins here are some of the basics about it
37" Cooper tires
4.56 gears
Icon Stage 3 Suspension
EFI Live tuning from Optimal Welding
Move Front and Rear bumpers
Rhino Industries/ HMMWV tire carrier
I'm actually doing it the same way, takes about 10 mins to get the tent on about 5 mins to get it off. Got gravity working in my favor when I need to pull it off.
Good looking truck and mod list is interesting aren't too many folks running tuned and deleted diesels or many mods giving horse power. If you're still undecided between lift pumps I'm assuming you're trying to decide between either air dog or fass, I personally went with Air Dog as it was a bit...
I did consider putting in 4:30 gears to basically put my effective ratio back to stock which is 3:73 but I wanted an effective ratio of 3:91 or 4:10 so that's the reason for the 4:56's. So far everything I've seen online 2000-2200 at 70-75 is pretty normal for the truck, if it is on stock tires...
Haven't been able to drive the truck much but we did 120 miles round trip yesterday. The trucks saying we're avg 15 mpg I think its a little higher since the speedometer is off by 10 MPH at 60 MPH, But at 75 MPH we're turning 2100-2200 rpm
Loaded new EFI live tunes, putting down 500 RWHP with the turn of a knob :sunglasses:. New tune also has the truck running more efficiently for the re gear to 4.56 and the 37" tires.
I went with the 400, according to their site the 150 isn't really designed to power a fridge. Also wanted something that was portable and could be charged off of the vehicle the 400 met all the criteria.
Honestly I didn't opt for a 3rd battery, the cost of doing such a thing didn't out weigh the cost of just buying a goal zero and running 12V power into the truck bed. If our case goal zero and a 12V charger is definitely the way to go.
I'm currently running icon's stage 2 4.5" lift on my 06 cummins I have no complaints about it, works great ride is nice both on and off road. My one complaint comes when I wanted to upgrade the 2.5" lift block to the add a pack they advertise in their stage 4&5 kits apparently they don't make...
In a diesel both batteries are necessary for cranking the engine due to the high compression ratio. It would be best to either run deep cycle AGM batteries or in our case do a tri battery set up where the 3rd battery is just the auxiliary for running the fridge and other electronics.
