I wouldn't trust those vehicles. The chips on the secondary market are sketchy and not completely trustworthy. The chips on the secondary market are either made by manufacturers that are not main-stream or the chips didn't pass the QC of the main-stream manufacturers.
Sorry! I used the word "Secondary Market". Didn't mean an untrusted black market type of chip. Secondary meaning I don't believe any of the Big Three auto manufacturers make their own chips and believe they must be sourced. If they made their own why would there be a Chip Shortage?

Just a quick shout out now that I’ve had my truck for 2 months and 2K miles. The ride of the 3500 DRW with air suspension was/is MUCH better than anticipated, in fact it rides almost as smooth as my 2500.

Those on the fence, get the rear factory air and enjoy your ride.

On a side note, I didn’t realize how skinny/narrow the factory dually rims are. Leaves little option for more aggresive tires which resulted in a wheel/tire purchase!!

I have 3233 lb payload in my 2500. Its a gas. Im sure the HO is more powerful and quick, but i find myself having to pull mine out of eco mode the way i drive anyway. Ive always wanted a full coil front AND rear solid axle truck, after having chevys with tbars and leafs. Your truck looks good tho. White and chrome bros.

Sounds a lot like my scenario. Got the hemi for the payload and I’ve always had chevys so I wanted the straight axle front end and front and rear coil.

Hoping its the drw that helps your ride quality, as I shyed away from the srw 3500 with rear air bc so many said it rode like a wagon and there were none near me to test drive. Hoping I didnt buy the wrong rig and miss out on more payload and towing if the ride quality between 2500 with rear air and srw 3500 with rear air are actually close to each other!

I also was told it would ride like a wagon!! Let’s just say, pleasantly surprised!!

Not at all. It's not an untrusted black market. Just not necessarily a main-stream producer.

After driving for a few days.. just wanted to give my honest opinion..
I have owned multiple 2500 mega cabs with and without air suspension. After receiving my 22 with high output And rear air suspension I will not be ordering a 2500 again with standard output… The power difference is huge and the 22 aisin software shifts really well. I don’t notice any difference in ride when air pressure is dropped to 55 psi in both trucks.. Go drive both of you can.. Just traded in my 21 2500 with 1700 payload rating for truck below with 3600 payload rating.. Just my opinion..

2022 Ram 3500 SRW with air suspension delivered!
Looks great! I've got a HO 3500 Limited on order (3C63R3SL6NG216134). Should be another month or so...I'm told. :rolleyes:

What Carli lift are you getting? Also, what wheels and tires are you getting? I'm assuming some level of offset. The truck looks great, but after the lift it will look amazing! Also, the ride should be amazing after the Carli treatment..

Carli 3.5 for air suspension with King shocks. Also ordered Carli Deaver progressive leaf springs with sulastic shackles. Wheels are 20x9 Tis 544BM with +18 offset with 37x13.50 Nitto Ridge. The +18 offset keeps them almost flush with fender flares. Stick out just a bit.

I’m hoping everyone is getting their trucks on time and their trucks are treating them good. We are over 5k miles here on each truck and these things have been amazing.
Be patient, it’s worth the wait.

Excellent. Do you think it will require any trimming?

I've been shopping Carli for a long time now. About to place an order. Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated...

Truck was constructively placed at Lordstown Ohio rail yard at 7pm last night. Just needs a short truck ride to dealer. 20 miles !! Here is an example of what I was able to track as my truck made its way from Mexico.

So I have gathered that equipment lists populate on weekday mornings. I’ve asked here before but no replies, but What time of morning? Early early or mid morning? PST, MST, CST, or EST ?
Just wondering what time to call off the search daily. I should be close to getting an equipment list though, unless I’m back at D.

Looking good! The more I see of the Patriot Blue, the more I like it.

I apologize if it's already been stated elsewhere; but what are the wheel and tire specs on those trucks?

Wtf. Sorry about that. Why did you have to reorder? Hope the dealer didn’t screw up your order.
