I have tried and tried to communicate with ram on this but there not giving up the information and just keep telling me it's propriatory. I have a 2020 drw 3500 I had custom built online with all the max tow set up options for my heavy fifth wheel as were full time rvers. The truck obviously has a legal gvwr of 14k. my pl rating was around 5600lbs new but it's actuelly about 5000lbs because of all the extras. What point will my rear auto level suspension throw up the warning on my evic that says overload protection and when it does this what actuelly is happening? Yes I know if I have way to much pl then it will trigger to protect itself, but at what point will this happen? Surely there isn't some technology in the truck that can tell when your at max gvw or max pl. I've asked ram over and over again what's the rating for my mopar model # air bags and explain that these are kits rated for a certain amount of lbs per each different specd kit. Is it rated for 4500, 5500, 6500, 7500, 8500, what's the magic number? I get no information besides it's propriatory. There is obviously a threshold and I don't buy for 1 second overload protection is somehow set to come on when my truck reaches max gvw or pl, the system must be rated for so much and ram has a program in there for it to protect it self once that max threshold has been reached, but what is it. Obviously if your close to that mystery number and you bounce over a over pass expansion joint , its probably going to set off the overload protection, but what actuelly will happen. My understanding is that when the overload light comes on then it won't allow bed lowering any more, any ideas out there from anyone with actuel knowledge or experience with this system?
