    2018 RAM 3500 with factory rear air suspension VOILENT REAR AXLE HOP

    UPDATE.... I called FCA they said un able to help unless you can duplicate. Nobody was concerned with the terms, violent, hazardous, loss of control. sooooo I hooked 3 GOPRO cameras and tried and tried and yes!! I caught something today, as suspected starts in the rear works it's way up to the...

    2018 RAM 3500 with factory rear air suspension VOILENT REAR AXLE HOP

Let's...

    2018 RAM 3500 with factory rear air suspension VOILENT REAR AXLE HOP

This is killing me, I been driving dodge trucks since i was 19!!! I finally buy my dream truck...

    2018 RAM 3500 with factory rear air suspension VOILENT REAR AXLE HOP

    It's never been on a series of bumps (like breaking bumps caused by tractor trailers) it's always been on just one sharp bump... The first time it happened, dealer said nothing found. The second time and third time were relatively close like only few days apart, It's been at the dealer while...

    2018 RAM 3500 with factory rear air suspension VOILENT REAR AXLE HOP

    I've looked and don't seem to find anything that I think applies to me so here it goes.... Driving down the road between 55-65 unloaded and hit a certain type of bump and sets off a VIOLENT CHAIN REACTION of REAR AXLE HOP that causes me to a total loss of control. I literally gota hold on till...

    rust proofing for new truck, suggestions?

    I see a lot of 15-40 in responses...I read 5-40 synthetic in the 2017 manual, looking like two schools of thought?

    sooo, just got to the end of this thread, I laughed, I cried, and I learned. But I have to ask.....and I'm NOT trying to get the battle going AGAIN. But say you were me, and you used 15-40 rotella in your 02 that you sold a while back (never had analysis done, nor the valve cover off to see how...

    rust proofing for new truck, suggestions?

    Jgillott and toot, as far as your body panel weep holes are concerned, does it look like any of them are clogged?? and who did you guys go to for application? I'm told the couple of ziebart's in my area suck, so I'd be willing to go on a road trip to get it done right, if I decide on the waxy...
