Yeah, bed lowering squashes it all the way down with no weight at all in the bed. And Alt Trailer Height is a must for my setup to bring the trailer almost level.

The factory air is susposed to be able to handle whatever the GAWR is for the truck. If it is over-loading it is suposed to set off a light in the cockpit. But, of course, it doesn't tell you by how much over-loaded it is. (note: I have never had it over-loaded). My current 5er is only about...

Thanks. I've really liked having the pure air bags (factory air) on my 2500. I use the "bed lowering mode" daily to slip in under the 5er in the garage every night. And it's really good for hitching and unhitching the trailer. That's the main reason why I'm starting to research if I can...

It's all so confusing at times...what I want to be sure of as best as I can is what the highest payload number I can get coming off the line with highest GVWR selected. Perhaps one way to tackle this is to go to a dealer and look at trucks on the lot and see what the stickers say. Ideally I...

It would apear that Ratlance is showing us a new truck with a 11,040 GVWR. As far as I know the GV of 11,040 is a 2026+ thing now.

Do you know what the SRW 3500 GAWRs are?

I know, that's my bad, I was distracted when I made the initial post. I meant to say payload and not GVWR. Thanks

Considering a '26 - probably a move up from my 2500 to a 3500 SRW. Can anyone provide a real-world sticker of their 2026 2500/3500 SRW GAWR and posted payload? Ideally a 2026 Cummins Limited 4x4 SRW crew cab. I know the website has the the GVWRs but that's just a an estimate and it would be...

I have averaged ~1400miles/month on my Cummins. 76 miles one-way to work 5-8 times a month. Unfortunately only 9% of the miles are towing miles. No issues thus far (50k total miles) with my emissions system....but I am rolling 50k now so it's probably programmed to take a dump any minute now.

I agree many have made the argument that it was the coils limiting the GVWR to 10k. What do / did these folks say about the factory air suspension then? People also say it's the whole picture of braking handling etc and no doubt that is an issue at some point, but 10k total weight was not that...

Regarding the "coils are too weak arguemnt"...what about the facotry air 2500? Were / are the air bags too weak? No of course not. Why not just get the 2500 with the factory air suspension?

I have a '22 Cummins. My truck is my only vehicle. 9.5% of my ~46,500 miles has been towing, however I have not had any problems with the emissions at this point. When I drive to work it is 75 miles of highway...with jams a bunch too.

I had a local shop put in customer supplied batteries (COSTCO AGMs) a couple months ago and while I don't know how he did it, I didn't loose any settings.

That's goofy. I mean how the heck do I know what I want to order if I don't know what's available?

How come you can order a '26 HD now and I can't even find a '26 to "build/price" on the Ram Trucks website?

So I waited 35 minutes to check the oil today after the engine was fully warmed and shut off and it was perfectly at the top of the Safe mark. The manual says: "Note: It is recommended that every 3,000 miles, check the engine oil level at least (my emphasis) 30 minutes after a fully warmed...

Watch, the fix will be to go to 15w-40 :p

Ok, thanks for the clarification. So are you saying if I wait more than 30 mins to check the oil it will be higher on the dipstick? In other words, in my case of 12hrs and it reads right at full, it's actually down some if I were to check it right at 30 mins after running it?

Thanks. I use the outer holes, so to speak. Also, if I let my truck sit overnight back when the full 12 qts were dumped in, it still showed over-full.

The AMS Oil filter (EA080). I fill it with almost a qt and then dump the rest in the truck to total 11.5qt. I just checked my oil today after the truck sat for 12 hours. Oil is right at top of safe mark.
