Wandering Ram

[kdh1226]

Does anyone out there have a Ram 2500 that wanders? I have a 2013 with less than 1K miles that I bought to pick up and deliver trailers for my business. This thing is all over the road. I am just waiting to get pulled over for a D.U.I. stop ( and I work part time for Sheriff dept. ). I went the other day and picked up an empty 14ft cargo and this was one scary highway ride on the interstate. Anything above 60 is just not a good idea. I have had it already at two dodge dealerships. One road forced tires, tweaked tire pressure...........Still wandering. Took to another who checked alignment........still wandering. Noticeable without a trailer but just plain frightening with a trailer. Can you not pull a trailer with a 2500? My 13 Ram 1500 has no issues with the trailers. Should have gotten another one of them I guess..................Way to Go Dodge!!!!!!!!!!!

Does the 2013 have leaf or coil springs? Is it wandering from the front end or rear end? Wonder if they forgot to install the link that locates the axle.

It has the Leaf Spring setup. Coil is available now on the 14 models and I have noticed that on the front the lower control arms are longer. I can not be the only one to notice this problem. It seems to sway both front a back. It reminds me of a snake slithering through the grass.....

No problem's tracking here, only thing I have noticed is the steering is much heavier than my 1500 was.

Only tire that I have experienced doing this would be the Yokohama Geolander ATS and that was because it is a very very deep tread on it. Wandering isn't something tires would do roadforced or not they need to get that thing in the air and start shaking down parts.
