Do you think the wheel spacers had anything to do with the repairs you had to make to the bearings in the previous video? I know you only were running 1/4 inch
I had air suspension in my 2014 longhorn...so they have offered it for a while. The system did not like January in Vermont. Anything below 10 degrees I had issues.
I keep mine consistently on the "Aero" level 2 as I prefer more of a lowered Sport Truck look, when I park it at home or work I drop it all the way down & it looks good at the entry/exit level 1 but once you drive over 17 mph it automatically goes back up to the Aero level. I took your advice on parking lots & raise it up to level 5 & deploy my side steps like you showed in one of your earlier vids bud, works great!
I hope that keeps some door dings away. It’s worked well for me so far.. ..except for 1 really nasty door ding I got in WTX. I broke my own rule and parked too close to others. 😅
When I park my 2014, I raise it to the high level of two. I hope the same in that if someone opens their door into my truck, they hit the steps and not the body.
@@MrJustinWheeler on next mileage update can you also show idle and drive hours, and also what oil and weight you use and average miles you change it. Thanks
usually things like this will develop once it's happened it will probably come back again, with air usually it's the compressor and solenoid Valve that plays up but it could be your height control switch/ solenoid on the axle that is failing . just have to see what happens. if the bags or struts fail you will have air coming out and it won't stay up
I don’t know if this well help anyone out, but I have a ram 2019 1500 limited I bought it used at 27,000 miles. I had it for about a year so around 40,000 miles then my air compressor started make weird noises and taking way longer to adjust the height, at one point then it clear shut off and wouldn’t work so I brought it in the the dealer,and they said the compressor had gone bad, so I ordered a new one it took about a week to come in, it was about 1,500 to 1,600 hundred bucks labor and parts but if you have warranty they should cover it, anyways I got it replaced and now I’m at 71,000 miles and I haven’t had any problems since.
Similar issue I had on my 2018 overland grand Cherokee with the adjustable air ride. Shortly after the compressor failed/seized up. Cost was comparable to replacing a transmission... I hope it's not your issue, good luck and I enjoyed your video.
How many suspension levels do you have? I have a 2018 Rebel and only have 4. Entry/Exit, Aero, Normal and Off Road. Just curious if it was changed for the Gen 5s or is only having 4 a Rebel configuration.
Thank you for informative videos. Could you also make a video about how your truck has held up as far as rusting and corrosions, and maybe any recommendations on how to prevent rusting in 5th gen RAM trucks? Than you!
Hey Reza! I would be happy to make that video, but to me honest I have not seen any rust. It’s holding up great in that regard. And the only place I’ve seen corrosion is where aluminum and steel parts meet.
@@MrJustinWheeler Hi Justin! That is really great that rusting is not an issue with the truck. I am new to RAM family and I’ve heard RAM trucks are horrible for rusting, at least in salt belt where I live.
I always just drive in aero except for off road. My thinking is I'll save some mpg over time (it adds up) but more importantly save the truck going from normal to aero mode multiple times a day (as it lowers and raises over/under certain speed) you get around this auto changing by leaving it in aero.
Thanks for the video. Hopefully it isn’t anything major… what is your trucks payload capacity and max towing capacity being a limited with Ram Boxes etc?
If the ground is uneven or an incline. I feel it would cause that issue. I have had that happen. Once I move the truck to leveler ground it worked normally.
I have a 2014 Laramie crew cab with air suspension. The last couple of years when it's been bitter cold here in Massachusetts, I get a pop-up message saying to service suspension immediately. After the truck warms up and I shut it off and turn it back on, it functions again. I hear this is common issue especially on the 2014s. I also hear it can be very expensive to repair this issue, especially since the dealer doesn't seem to know how to fix it themselves.
Be thankful you don't have a Range Rover. Mercedes, AMG, BMW or other luxury vehicle. Most of their air/hydraulic suspensions don't make it 100,000 miles without a major issue up here in northern Canada. Our winters kill those systems fast. The price to be paid for all this comfort and convenience technology is higher service costs and scheduled maintenance. Many of my local Ram dealers spec their trucks without the air suspension where possible, because of the volume of customer complaints. We have more dealer installed lift kits to compensate.
@@MrJustinWheeler Lots, it's a common complaint on the forums and guys replace with lift kits or aftermarket air. Kelderman is about $30k up here, but wow what a system.
@TruckCentral on next mileage update can you also show idle and drive hours, and also what oil and weight you use and average miles you change it. Thanks
