I'm surprised RAM advertised the Air Suspension option and now are not delivering do to engineering problems.Sounds like the cart got ahead of the horse.Link

Well they could just release it and then do a recall.Or let the customers figure it out.Nah, that never works out.

Or release it, let it fail, then deny the warranty...Last I heard, it was freeze up in cold weather that was causing the issues. My local dealer claimed he had two 1500s they sold with the 4 corner air suspension that acted up in very cold conditions. But then I have a friend who owns a grey limited 1500 4x4 with the air suspension who has had no trouble with his.The option was "unavailable" when I ordered my truck. Maybe thats a blessing as I would have ordered it.

Yeah.... there was a lot of talk about the air suspension but they seem to be a little short on the actual delivery. Honestly, the air suspension is the first thing that caught my eye with the Ram trucks. I ended up buying a 2500 because of the coil rear springs and new Hemi 6.4.

Yeah I waited for the new 3500 DRW with the air bags...... still waiting. Glad they just didn't release something unproven though like a CP.4. The new air bags sounded nice with air down feature but clearly the legal suits had the final say. Guess I have another year left in my old girl :W

Troller, I am surprised that you don't know someone who has had trouble with the system.

Ben, awesome picture buddy...brings a tear to my eye, and I'm not kidding...101st. been around for a while and if one hasn't heard about them and their stellar service to our country, then they don't know much about some of our US History....

I like the Marines saying best...Semper Fi...Alway's Faithful or Always Loyal...to the death if that's what it takes in defending our country.....

thanks Ben:)

Am so sad of the fact that most Americans have little to no empathy for those who
serve to protect them

Don't like to think of these much. Too painful still to this day...but with this
stuff all over the news and here on this forum...must say am constantly disappointed
in my fellow human being out there

Here are some images and stories about the 101st and San Mateo. I'll stop now,
it's enough for a while on this topic for me...

NC...I've blocked that guy and not even had an exchange...as know I'd have to go
there again and not say it...just reference...Proverbs 26.4

Hats off to you and everyone who served. I could not, 4F and lost 4 of my best friends
ever...will never have that kind of buddies again... Tried many times to enlist, but
my asthma kept me out

I live in the SF Bayarea and ashamed at most of the folks dis'ing the returning
servicemen...but...my city adopted the 101st Airborne in 1968 and was the ONLY
city to do so. We continue to support our guys and gals in military service.

This is NOT to say our 101st the best or exceptional...they all are...just that
my city adopted them in a time that it was NOT poplar

X2. I work with a lot of wounded warriors from the current conflicts. I am happy that the attitude in the US has changed from the dark days of the '70s.

Thank you sir. While traveling through an airport in Pittsburg in 71 in my dress blues, had a bunch of, guess what I'd call "hippies", calling me a baby killer and spitting at me....Most didn't care much for the military back then, nor the guy's who went into combat...You join the military, you follow orders, you go where they tell you, and that's the life in the military. Proud to have served my country and no regrets about any of it.

oh, understand the Ram 3500 suspension can be ordered on 2015's when order bank is open for 3500's...believe production starts first week in August...that's the word on the cummins forum anyway......

No, I'm not a "girl",I'm definitely not pretty, nor am I a "blond",, I'm an almost 64 yr old man, with almost white hair, been married almost 44 years, raised 3 kids, have 4 grand kids and fought in an unpopular war and am no one's hero, nor do I want to be. I have very few friends and ALL of that is ok with me.....That's it....nothing more and probably far, far less....
