I was a bit concerned about sag so I pressured them up to 35psi. It may have been a bit too much, going to drop it down to 25 for next trip, see how it sits. Trailer did not have any sag whatsoever at 35psi. We towed on mostly Flat land, some hills in northern Saskatachewan, kept steady at 60MPH in ...

Finally picked up the trailer last week, took the wife and 2 kids to Regina SK, towed it to FT.Mac AB. No issues at all, lots of power, trans temp stayed cool. Kept the OD off, towed great.

Would like to thank everyone on this forum for offering up awesome advice.

Thanks for all the help guys, just recived the last of my Towing purchases. (P3 Brake controller)

I have a question about the WDH and airbags on the R51. How do you put your WDH on? Air bags first then adjust WDH, or tighten down the WDH and then top up the Air bags?

I'm still looking at which WDH I want. How does a WDH work with the Air bag system? Ive looked around a bit and there are varying options on what order to do this. Some say pressure the bags up first then set up the WDH. Others say Set up your WDH first THEN pressure the Air bags up. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the advice guys, a big no to the additional trans cooler. Very good points. I do want to keep an eye on the temp though so I understand the bullydog tuner does this as well. As for tires, I still have on what I bought it with. P for sure, don't know the other numbers off hand. I was wonde...

So three Trans Coolers is overkill? Sorry for my ignorance, I thought there was only the 1 stock cooler. So with the two stock coolers, I should have no issues with Trans heat? Even with long steep grades? I know some people add fans to the cooler on the front, but others have questioned the effecti...
