    HELP!! four corner air suspension problems

    Once the fuses/relays are removed, your good to go operation wise. You will get a "service air suspension" alert on the dash when you start but it goes away after a few seconds. You can live with that or you have to go the Alpha OBD route to remove it from the PCM. Go to the Monroe air...

    Mpls area...anyone with Alpha OBD?

    Yes I hooked up with a member on this forum with AlphaOBD and he had the program deleted in minutes. No message on startup now, my BlueDriver OBD doesn’t see it anymore and no little lights on the dash switches. The settings menu on the screen still show transport mode and something else...

    New Ram owner, can't believe how bad it is in the snow.

    This is like shooting a 132 on the golf course and blaming my clubs!

    Air suspension

    I did not lift mine other than putting Rancho quick lifts in front to level the truck. Most people are getting "kits" but I opted to piecemeal mine with parts off Rockauto. I put on HD variable rate springs in the back with 35% increased load, Gabriel monotube rear shocks in back and Rancho...

    Air ride on used trucks

    I will say that someone who really wants to service the air system themselves can probaby do so. I know a member on here replied to my posts when I was contemplating my options who seemed quite familiar with the system. Unfortunately there's "possibility" AND "reality". Even given the fact...

    Air ride on used trucks

    I just replaced mine with coils/struts. My 17 Limited has nearly 150K and my problems started in October 2022. I reluctantly replaced the compressor (the dealer did) at just under $2K. Same issues happened again by December and I tore it all out. Second time around they "discovered" a bad...

    Ram rip off

    I cringe now when I read that air suspension is considered a "plus". Air suspension is great...till it isn't! Just my 2 cents...

    FNG shopping for 14-18, make sure I've covered it all

    You won't "need" to drop $2K on a conversion kit. Piecemeal out the parts you want...the kits are an easy option but I just did mine for $830 out the door and couldn't be happier. Everything was from Rockauto...Rancho quicklifts in front (levels the truck), variable rate springs in the rear...

    Mpls area...anyone with Alpha OBD?

    Thanks for the info White six four. I have done all of those things. Everything is off including the lit buttons for the suspension. The only thing still working is the few second alert on startup. I did reach out to Rieggs with a PM and hopefully can meet up and get this deleted. Thanks...

    Mpls area...anyone with Alpha OBD?

    Thanks for the replies! For some reason, I'm not getting email alerts that I got responses...gotta look into that. Rieggs, I should look into this a bit further before wasting your time and possibly goofing something up but I will do that and reach out to you by PM if that's ok. White Six 4...

    Mpls area...anyone with Alpha OBD?

    Hello...recently removed air suspension in my 2017 1500 Limited. I can live with the few second "service air suspension" warning on startup but got to thinking if anyone in the twin cities area had Alpha OBD, I'd be willing to pay to have it disabled. I looked into getting it but frankly don't...

    ABS and Air Ride Suspension

    Yeah that sux... I went thru some frustration and money recently on my 17 Limited. After multiple trips to the dealer who seemed to be helpful and confident, I blew $2K on a new compressor. Then, within a few weeks they needed to add a "drying agent". Still had issues and the last straw was...

    Year model of 4th gen to stay away from?

    Since I'm on an anti air suspension rant these days...avoid anything with that system...especially if you're in a cold area. Beyond sux when that starts to be a problem.

    Air ride suspension leaks

    Just replaced all of mine and couldn't be happier. I have a recent post on this. I installed Rancho quick lifts on the front which levels the truck, variable rate coils on the rear (35% heavier than stock but still rides nice unloaded) and Gabriel shocks in back. There's a few added parts...

    New member with an air suspension issue-considering cutting my losses

    No argument on going Bilstien. I was in a hurry and couldn't find enough info on what coil/strut #s for the front end. The air delete/strutmasters kits seemed easy but quite a bit more money than my rockauto.com parts cost. The parts I went with were a simple solve to my problem and frankly I...

    New member with an air suspension issue-considering cutting my losses

    Well I did what I said and cut my losses. One day of wrenching, about $830 and I’m free of this headache. It was great while it worked (140K) but too unreliable. I replaced the front with Rancho quick lifts which levels the truck. The rears got New variable rate coils and Gabriel mono tubes...

Background: live in MN (southwest burbs of Minneapolis). 2017 Ram 1500 Limited with 146K miles. 6th or 7th Dodge/Ram (forget how many I've owned since 1996). I do pretty much all my own maintenance except for stuff "out of...
