My New 2019

[AH64ID]

Hey John, Any update?

It’s in the shop, just waiting for time to install it.... which might be coming up quicker than anticipated.

Do these newest trucks still have a good ‘ol filter minder for the air filter?

Just the air flow sensors, nothing like the 5.9’s. You will get a change air filter message if it gets bad thou.

Alright, it's installed. Nice looking peice. The old one came out of the knuckle very easily, and VERY difficult at the pitman arm... very very stubborn for less than 2 years and 16K miles.

I can't take it for a drive and test the steering wheel center until monday night or tuesday thou... waiting on a part from Titan but that's another story.

Any noticable difference from old to new? Knuckle, angle, etc?

Nothing that effects geometry. It’s built different on both ends but the overall shape and curvature is the same.

Well, I'm glad I took a little creeper ride to take a photo of my rear leafs for another thread, as I then discovered I have a very leaky right front shock. I have been noticing some unusual tire wear in the front, so I think this is a contributing factor.

Still can't get the dealer to acknowledge my uneven ride height at the rear. Photographic evidence doesn't count, I am told. Not scientific, I realize, but the left bag feels softer than the right, and that's the way she is listing. If I had a better feel for how this dang thing works, from a controller perspective, I'd gamble on making a small adjustment to the ride height sensor on the left.

I think I’d just make a small adjustment.

Duplicate post.

Not sure if it's my slow internet or the server. Either stalls, or makes duplicate.

Same here, all afternoon. Internet was "exceptionally" slow for all sites...and TDR being frisky and frolicking.

It's this site!

When changing out my Dad's shocks on his 12 DRW one front was leaking. They were Made in Brazil. These unless changed are US Made.

CHITZ can happen. Personally I would change out to Bilstein's either 4600 or 5100's. Pick your color.

I briefly considered going aftermarket, but the only way to edumacate FCA on their lowest bidder parts is to make them pay. Dealer ordered it this morning, said about 10 days out. Must be a popular part

Actually almost no demand, and only 8 total in the system. Only one dealer has one in stock.

Guess everybody took Cummins12V98's advice, and bought Bilsteins? J/K Thanks for the info.

According to Ron the factory toe for the DRW cause tire wear issues. I recommends I believe 1/32 to 1/16 toe and the factory number is 1/4. Maybe he will chime in. Chris

The stock shocks are GOOD! That’s why I am not concerned that there is no rear replacement for rear air ride.

The Bils did help some with rebound after hitting a pothole.

Had my leaky shock swapped out this morning. Now, I'll get those fronts rotated to the rear, and hope that solves my scallop/cupping issue.

Have you not read what i have said about this issue since 2013 ?

Get your truck aligned to 1/64" toe. It's really that simple. NEVER rotate rears, 15k or so move front tires side to side keeping rotation the same. Leave wheels at same position, run 80psi fronts all the time. The insides will be on the outside.

It's called "stepping". 30k with one rotation at 15 and one at 30k. 80psi all the time.

35 rears empty and 65 running full RAWR. I am up to 68psi rears as I am running over my RAWR now.
