    Air Bags

    Mine has 3 and the largest one is none to large but the compressor they were using in 2013 fit nicely. Don't know if Airlift has changed their compressor size over the years.

    Air Bags

    My mega cab 2012 has 3 storage compartments where back of cab wall meets folded down seat floor. Airlift compressor fit neatly in the middle "tool box." Installer even found metal knock outs for plumbing. Thing works like a charm after 6 years.

    Air Bags

    If you fold down the seats in a mega cab where the floor meets the back wall, I have 3 flip lid compartments. The Airflow compressor fit into the middle/largest compartment...out of weather.

    Air Bags

    Far as I know there's only one size for pick ups. I went to a dearler/truck/trailer repair place in central Iowa. Never even had to replace the remotes battery yet!

    Air Bags

    Had Airlifts on my 2012 mega cab since 2013...with remote. They mounted the compressor in the tool box where folded down seats meat rear wall. Occasionally pull a 16k fifth wheel and a small flatbed carrying the R1200 GSA beamer bike. Never had a problem with them although they require 75 to 80...

    Exhaust Brake Not Working Properly

    Sorry I wasn't clear, Don. The CCV does vent, via a hose, to behind the cold air intake, upstream of the turbo. At least it does on my 2012. There's a fix I watched on YouTube. Run a hose from the original outlet on the (head) cover, wore tie it to the fire wall and let it hang outa the way...

    Exhaust Brake Not Working Properly

    On my 2012 the VGT EB stopped giving 100% around 100k miles. Come to find out Dodge has the CCV filter exhausting just behind the cold air intake...just upstream from the turbo! Over time and not using the brake often enough deposits CCV left overs into the VGT. There's a fix I'll get around to...

    hell: vgt

    Thanks for the reply, RV. I had the truck into a dealer getting a new rear main seal put in along with other incidental work and mentioned to them the turbo. I didn't push a warranty issue at the time because the seal turned out to be under warrnaty...98,000 miles and they had the balls to be...

    hell: vgt

    My stock VGT started producing only about 15% braking at 97000 miles. 2012 2500. Installed bigger non-VGT turbo. Truck runs like a race car now. Fuel mileage increased to 22/25 mpg at highway speeds. ESI tuner. VGT is a hell of a good idea but if you don't use it often it gets gumed up...
