Hello
I have a 2016 ram 2500 located in VT. the rear factory air has always been a issue in the winter. But I have always been able to get it going. airbrake anti freeze and wd40 with heating it. Well she finally won't come back.
I want to bypass the stock system and add my own compressor and use the factory rear bags. I can't find anything on this and Im sure people must have done this.
At the moment i cut and plugged the 2 air lines at the stock compressor. I put a 1/4 in t fitting and added a cheap 12v air compressor. this is working but I want to do a clean set up gauge mounted on dash. Be able to fill and bleed the system .
Anyone here does this yet?
Also trying to find out what the psi is for normal factory ride?

thanks

Factory ride is 10- 15 psi roughly. And the OEM system can be turned off with alfaobd
