I have a MagHytec I took off my 11 Dually from what I have been told it will not fit the RAM with real air ride.

Just flushed my '16, 3500 with air suspension this past week. There are two threaded rods that replace two pan cover bolts.

I believe you could just reuse those threaded rods on the new cover however.
I had only 12500 miles on the truck but the rear was chattering somewhat when making turns. After replacing the diff. fluid that seemed to cure the chattering.
