Hi to all

Travis here.

I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500, 24V Cummins.

I am looking for some advise on spicing it up a bit. I pull a 41 Ft Cyclone Toy Hauler, it weighs around18,000 lb when we have it loaded, and the hills do a number on my Dodge and I.

I have a problem keeping momentum, and over heating when I get going up the long streched out hills.

Any help here would be greatly appriciated.

 

Welcome!! Please fill in your signature line so we know what mods you already have. Auto trans? Also you might want to use the search to help too.

 

Have you actually had it weighed on a trip with all the toys? I bet that trailer weighs more than 18K
What mods does your truck have (if any)?

 

If its already overheating, I wouldn't add any more power till you get the cooling system preforming better. More power means more heat.

 

how old is the:

thermostat
radiator
water pump
last coling system fluch
fan belt
radiator hose replacement


cooling needs to be adressed first , as Jake mentioned.

then hit the mods
