Ram dually vs Ford dually Frame Flex Comparison
Interesting vid. Should they be strong enough to bend, or is a rigid frame better? Frame Flex Vid

One thing I noticed about the new stiff hydroformed chassis when going form my '95, '98 and '01 C channel Cummins powered 2500HD's and my '03 and '05 Hydroformed Chassis rams is that the ultra hard chassis resonates vibrations more like a tuning fork. That's when all these vibration dampeners started showing up at various locations on the chassis and hydraulic cab mounts came to be trying to quiet it back down. The thick heavy C channel chassis on my F250 feels heavy and less jittery. Unless I start driving over offset ramps as part of our traveling and camping adventures, I don't look forward to when Ford opts for the cheaper to manufacture hydroformed chassis. Like HFCS verses cane sugar, it's not about being better. It's about being cheaper.
