    Please help

    I'm afraid we've seen the last of the OP . I think he finally realized what the easy solution was , bad battery would be my guess . But yes it would be nice to know after all the work that had been done on the truck . Usually when there is a problem , and it gets asked on a forum ,you'd think...

    When vehicles don't crank ,its almost always the battery . He cranks one day ,replaces the battery ,no crank. :rolleyes: I think all this suspense could end with at least a jump start to see . Or take a simple voltmeter , and see what the battery reads , or a load test . Not trying to raise the...

    *Mechanic refusing trans build info*

    Yes , that and $9500 for a trans build , not in tune with cost , but that sure sounds high ?

    3 alignments later truck still pulls left and right when on sloped road

    I’ve towed both with my old ford Superduty, and this 2014 Ram 3500 . Two different fifth wheels all over the western states , including Texas down to the gulf coast . Been a few years since the Texas trip , only thing that comes to mind is the terrible traffic going thru San Antonio.

    Upgrades capable of towing maximum

    I agree , the thread was a bumper pull , I was thinking more a camper , and sway , hence more capable nothing more .

    Upgrades capable of towing maximum

    They do a bit more than just level , it always been said it doesn’t change the rating of a truck , but does change its capability . Nothing changes the door sticker unless you have it changed thru the state .

    DEF additive

    Wow , sure getting an education here on DEF . :) I’ve run the regular old Def for the past 10 years on my 2014 . I had couple issues early on the DEF system , some warnings no real issue , had it in on warranty cleared the codes , and I went on . Shortly after the issues the SCR recall ...

    I’m emotional right now in a good way

    Congratulations on both . Enjoy that truck , and hopefully many many more years of marriage. When going from a 99 Ford Superduty to my present truck a 2014 Ram 3500 Laramie was amazed at the technology, and towing performance between the two diesel’s. Night , and day . It appears so far I’m...

    3 alignments later truck still pulls left and right when on sloped road

    I use a shop that’s all they do , from cars to semis . They don’t do tires , shocks , and oil changes . They are not expensive, and when it’s aligned, it’s right. They were aware of thuren specs , and would have done them regardless whether I mentioned it or not . Surprised I didn’t see it...

    3 alignments later truck still pulls left and right when on sloped road

    I have no handling problems , I think that most that don’t are probably like me don’t really notice the pull right or left on a crowned road , just adjust .

    3 alignments later truck still pulls left and right when on sloped road

    No mention of the Thuren specs , my 3500 toe is set for .0 - .05 . Thats not factory specs .

    Tires

    After watching your review you posted , I would definitely go the Falken AT3, no need for the off road performance of the AT4. I think the AT3 would apply for most that are towing big trailers or Fifth wheels , not a lot of off roading , but there is the exception.

    Tires

    I too live in snow country, there was a day it was the highest priority with a tire , mostly because of hunting . Since we have gone to ATV’s not as much now , more into quiet , wear , and handling . As said in previous post the Cooper AT3’s are getting it done . I considered the Falken when...

    Tires

    Are you running the Cooper AT3 or the AT3 XLT ? Mine are the XLT’s ,by far the best tire I’ve ran on my Ram 3500 . Previous tire was the Toyo AT2’s. Probably one of the most overrated, overpriced , and quickest wearing tire I’ve had. First thing I noticed with the Coopers was handling, and ride...

    Mopar MaxCare warranties vs Dealer extended warranties

    On the other hand , I’m ten years in on my 2014 and $2300 in repairs out of pocket . $2000 of that 2300 was past the eight year mark . Glad I turned down the offers for any extended warranty. Money ahead at this point.

    Should I install air bags?

    Well said , although my wording got criticized for saying pretty much the same thing . As I said to the OP which he fully understood , “ You can tow it ,but you can’t haul it “. Moving it , towing it , pulling it whatever , is not equal as you say to being able to carry it . Thanks

    Should I install air bags?

    I got a PM from the OP stating he knew exactly what I meant when he read it , before I think you boys had him a bit confused . The OP had a 2024 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins , we all know that motor goes in the 2500, 3500 etc . I’m thinking he knew it’s got the power . The truck simply doesn’t have the...

    Should I install air bags?

    Whatever year it’s not important, I’m not arguing the OP’s situation , if that 2500 indeed has that low of payload . I’ve never had a fifth wheel that was over 15,500 , and never towed any of them with anything less than a 350 Ford or my present 3500 Ram . I’m sure I wouldn’t get on the...

    Should I install air bags?

    From another reply as recently as 2017 they were still running a leaf spring suspension, wonder when they finally switched . But anyway I still get a little laugh about the doom , and gloom towing with a 2500 , supposedly carnage will be scattered everywhere.

    Should I install air bags?

    Nice to see someone on the same page , as far as this 2500 ,3500 debate goes , I’ve read many , and the one thing I learned was you will never win with the weight police on these forums . I’ve always had a 1 ton since I went to a fifth wheel , but I understood back in the day the minimal...

    Should I install air bags?

    Did you not read what I said , I’m not arguing about what it is , I’m not interested nor need a 2500. I see now what’s being said about capacity , so those pictures you are showing is after market air bags ? The reason why the OP is asking about adding air bags ? I do remember when the weight...

    Should I install air bags?

    Plus the fact that’s exactly what’s guys would do , upgrade the leaf springs , and add airbags .

    Should I install air bags?

    You do realize there was a day the 2500 and the 3500 were separated by just exactly that , the amount of rear leaf springs , or size ?
