2018 Ram 2500
At present am towing a 31foot 5TH with a 20016 Chevy 2500 HD 6.0, 6sp, 4.10 gears. Was looking at a new Ran 2500 6.4L and noticed that the truck has coil springs on the rear. What are the advantage/d...

I've been looking at the Ram 2500 gasser too and hope to buy a new truck this spring. I have read many negative thing about the Ram 2500/3500 reliability but they mostly seem to pertain to issues with the diesels.
Anyway, I work on our city police cars and found the Chargers's have to same PIA TPMS sensors too. They trigger the TPMS light if the pressure is too low or too high. I've read a forum post somewhere that guys were taking their TPMS sensors out (mainly from the rear tires) and placing them in a sealed PVC pipe with a Schrader valve and pressurizing the pipe to fool the system.
I’m not going to comment regarding what you said about the “negatives on RAM” other than to say I disagree.
But I will say I can’t understand what you are saying about the TPMS system, as what you describe as a problem is exactly what the system is designed to do - regardless of manufacture.
I personally had the TPMS in my wife’s 300C save me when the light went off and I could see the gauge on the offending tire slowly losing pressure. Allowed me to find a relatively safe place to stop and change the tire.
Same thing happened on my Porsche.
Advising to take them out and put them in some sort of artificial tube makes zero sense to me.
