@AH64ID Stupid question, Could his Transmission coolant thermostat be bad?

163 is not hot. Mine runs 160-165 most of the time. So what do you mean by "sky rockets".

7.1Kpa is 1.02lb/sq in. Probably not an issue.

Isn't that light to show you are in Alternate Ride height?

Claiming off road only is nothing to be concerned about. That is to try to keep the EPA for going after them if they sold anything the EPA doesn't like. Statement hasn't worked previously, just ask the companies that paid the big fines or sere shut down for selling delete stuff.

Here is your fix for the grid heater problem https://us.bddiesel.com/products/bd-6-7l-cummins-killer-grid-heater-dodge-ram-2500-3500-2007-2018?variant=42754322170039

Just for the fun of it I ran your $32k through and Inflation Calculator. It would be equivalent to $50,647.94 in today's dollars so yeah they've gotten much more expensive. My 2018 Big Horn seems much closer at $62k vs $78k.

Could be a bad battery. Have you tried disconnecting them and see if one has low voltage after a couple days?

Calling that thick leaf an overload is what most people call it; however, unlike the rest of the springs in the pack it really doesn't deflect. It just provides a perch for the rest of the springs to deflect into. As the rest of the springs lay against it the spring is effectively shortened and...

Actually it is a misconception that the thick spring is an overload spring. It is actually what gives the spring pack a progress spring rate rather than just a linear spring rate. As the other springs are compressed against that plate it effectively shortens the springs. As a leaf spring is...

Quick search on discount tire website for a LT285/75R17 comes up about 50/50 index 121(3195) and index 128(3970). The 128 rated ones are newer designs like BFG KO3, Falken AT4W and Toyo R/T with the 121 rated being older designs like Toye AT3 and Nitto Ridge Grappler.

I don't know for sure that they changed but I would believe they have because the Falken Wildpeak AT3W which is a new design now has 17" tires listed as high as 3970lb. When TRA brought in the 3195lb limit they grandfathered old designs to the higher limits so I'm guessing that since the new...

Her is a link to the Toyo site that provides that info. https://www.toyotires.com/tires-101/tire-load-and-inflation-tables/ Same info from Falken Tires https://www.falkentire.com/load-inflation There are some differences in 17" LT tires from the two sites. This is due to the fact that at one...

Back before tires were speed rated, the manuals would tell you to add 10psi for extended high speed running. For truck/bus tires there was also a load rating decrease above certain speeds (usually 75mph). With speed rated tires the pressure and load rating changes are factored in to the speed...

Be prepared for the fact you might need a new cover or other work. I had a leak on mine around 17K miles and the dealer wound up putting and new inner cover under warranty.
