Our 2500 is a dual battery system and this is exactly why I opted to just disconnect both. I wasn’t confident in the Auto Parts guy not bumping the hot lead and getting it across part of the body during the swap. I’m glad I made that decision, getting those batteries in and out of those tight...

Interesting - that’s good to know. In my recent testing I never saw anything lower than 0.5a and that was after 20 min of sitting and all the USB cords unplugged. The only add-on plugged into 12v socket was a radar detector, but the power port on top of the dash is off when the truck is off. I...

FYI - as the OP I can say definitively that I do ot have coil springs, the air bags are where the coil springs would be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can promise you that the parasitic draw on a 1997 truck is not the same as the draw on my 2019. Hang onto the ‘97! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Verdict: after the batteries were changed I reset the color theme of the display and drove home, stopping twice. By the time I got home (about 45 min and two restarts) things were still missing. Today, about 24 hrs later after sitting all night and half the day, the color theme of the display...

When you say the systems take awhile to reboot after replacing the batteries, how long do you mean? I replaced both batteries today on my 2019 2500 Cummins w/ air suspension and now the air suspension “app” isn’t on the 12in screen and the suspension settings are missing. It’s a 30 min drive...

Verdict: Got the batteries tested at my local Advance Auto. I went there because I wanted the DieHard Platinum AGMs if I needed new batteries. Turns out only one of the batteries was bad. 10v and showing only 30CCA. So I replaced both batteries and I kept the good battery as a 12v power source...

On our recent trip with our 2019 2500 diesel,towing our trailer, the truck decided not to start. It was on the tail end of a 2-week trip in the Grand Canyon campground around 9am. The temp overnight had been mid 40s and it was about 55 when this happened. It went through the diesel pre-heat...

Good luck - after a failed repair at one dealer while we were on the road, or home town dealer took over a month to fix it right. Almost a year later and so far, so good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Search this forum for my thread about how the air suspension ruined a 3-week vacation resulting in having to pay to have our trailer towed home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad to hear you haven’t had any problems. Hopefully our problems are over now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FINAL RESOLUTION (for now) As a reminder - this was a real physical failure. The first air spring exploded (we heard it) and the second air spring lost air and got crushed between the frame and truck body. It looked like a kids slinky that got stepped on. We got our truck back from the local...

Thanks for the info and tip. I’ll keep that in mind for when we get the truck back from the dealer. I’m betting the controller may be at the root of all this. Too much air in the first failure (we heard the loud bang), then possibly too little or no air in the second failure. Sent from my...

@Firebird - that’s kind of why I was asking. Wondering if anyone out there got so fed up with the factory air suspension that they replaced it with something more reliable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
