Commenting for support, keep the quality videos coming.
Thank You!
I already decided on the air suspension when I order my 2500 and this review has reinforced my decision. Thank you JB for all the reviews. Keep up the great job.
Thanks Chris 👍🏾
I have it on my 17 and I love it, I don't think ill buy another one without it. same for the rambox
I wholeheartedly agree JB, the air suspension takes it to another level. My daily driver is a little Cruz I drive every day so when I’m in my Limited 2500 TD the ride is awesome!! Keep up the good videos!! Thanks
Thanks for sharing Anthony 👍🏾
You called it! Gotta get air suspension! Wish I would have known that before🤷♂️ I feel like this truck is a perfect match for your trailer. Now imagine if you didn’t have the crappy Firestone Transforces on there!
Yup, if this truck had better tires, I think it would have gone too well… I really do think this truck felt like the dually I tested recently 👍🏾
The stock tires were still on our 2015 when we bought it and they were almost balled with 19,000 miles on them. That’s the first thing I’m going to change on my next one.
I have a similar truck- the air suspension is amazing. Love the ability to drop it all the way down to “transport mode” when connecting my trailer. One think to keep in mind especially with a 5th wheel- you want to lift the jack to start taking weight off the truck, once you see the truck start to come up stop and let the truck level itself otherwise when you pull away from the trailer the truck will shoot up pretty high in the back which could cause it to hit the trailer. On the tires- my original set only lasted me 27k miles bulling a 10500lbs trailer. I have not been able to get more than 30k on any tires I have used but they all wear easy.
Great info Ben, thanks for sharing 👍🏾
I bought a one ton SRW and it has auto-leveling air suspension. I love it!
💯
Hey, Just picked up my 2021 Ram 2500 Limited Longhorn with the Cummins and air suspension... Love it! I will be towing an Airstream Classic 33 so 10K when loaded.
Congrats and that’s a perfect setup!
Nice combination. We,just took delivery on a 2021 Limited with the air suspension - love it. Tows our 28 ft.Airstream like a dream!
What kind of hitch are you using with the Airstream? It took some research to figure out how to set up our E2 Equalizer hitch.
I have a similar truck, a 2018 Ram Cummins in the Big Horn trim. Tows my Airstream like it not there. You're making me want some air!
If you ever decide to upgrade be sure to option your truck with it 👍🏾
I have a 2014 F150 with tow package with 3.5 eco-boost V6 with 3.55 axle with a locking differential the camper we are getting is Salem cruise lite 240 BHXL it ways 5300 pound ccc 2.227 pounds 570 tongue weight
I was debating between Ford and Dodge so this video is very helpful, thanks great information
No problem Jack, thanks for sharing 👍🏾
I didn’t know air bags were available when I got mine. I’m going to add it.
Now that key is an option because our 16/17 laramie had a keyless fob so odd
Nice review. Truck looked good in front of your trailer. You can always add air bags to the truck for less money than factory but having it as a factory option would be nice. As for the 3.42 man I’d gladly give up a little top speed (75 compared to 80 on a 6% grade, who cares) for improved fuel mileage.
Great points, the 3.42 did Land good fuel mileage but when your climbing constantly it gets about the same as the 3.73. Thanks bro!
Loving my air suspension on my 1500 without towing but I bought it for comfort and it's like driving on a cloud JB 😍
It sure is! ☁️ ☁️ 🐏 ⛅️
We have a 2015 2500 that someone added air suspension in the back that is not automatic. That is one of the most haves on our next model
Yup, this truck is amazing 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Is that maximum steel metallic looks like our old truck i showed you almost "SO GOOD LOOKING"
Actually it’s black but Maximum Steel does look black on some angles 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork oh camera let me down lol I was thinking it looks a bit darker then I think it should but so close to our old truck lol
Lol
What size trailer is that? and what brand? great video.
Homesteader Intrepid 28X8.5
JB have you tried out a 2021 HO 3500 with air suspension? I'm thinking of getting 1 just stuck between air ride or not?
I’m hoping to test one soon, but I am getting air in my next 3500!
Hello sir, I’ve done a ton of research but would like your input because you’ve driven a ton of these trucks. I am leaning 2500 due to the off road package. I will be using it to ranch and don’t think I’ll need the payload as much as I do the towing. Is there a big difference with the bilsteins? It seems like a great deal vs aftermarket suspension parts on a 3500. Thank you
The Bilsteins do help the ride over the stock shocks 👍🏾
Why coolant temperature is so high? Is it normal?
Towing up the grades at these speeds with outside temp over 95 degrees, it’s normal. The fan kicked on and temps came down some. Cooling system on RAM trucks are really good 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork, do you happen to know which ram cummins have dual radiators? Over the past weekend I have driven 2017 cummins 2500 and when I checked under the hood it had only 1 radiator.
Not sure, if I remember maybe I will go to a parts department and see if they have a diagram 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork 19
Lock out that 5th gear I pull a 13k 5er and never use 6th that 68RFE trans won’t last long
When I pull with mine I keep it to 5th gear. I also have 35s. My problem is they don't like much payload.
Do you plan on re-gearing?
@@JB_WhoWork no just running it in 5th it does good.
Have you done a video on the 7.3 Godzilla ford?
Not yet towing but I reviewed one awhile back
Is it just me or do the Cummins Ram trucks seem to be lazy when it come to acceleration vs the Ford and GM V8 diesels. I have driven my friends 2017 f250 6.7 and that thing scoots. I need to get and drive one of the Ram trucks.
This truck had a 3.42 rear which didn’t help either. 3.73 comes on 2019 and up
What is tongue weight of trailer?
How’s the empty ride with the air vs coil springs? I’m considering ordering a 2500 that will be a daily driver.
Air is the way to go!!!
What’s the difference between light and heavy electric on the trailer setting
Light electric is below 10k heavy Electric is above 10k
Would the other gear ratio give you more acceleration?
Yup, too bad it wasn’t available for the Cummins back then 👍🏾
That truck sounds like it is deleted.
I know right, the 2019 and later trucks have hydraulic lash adjusters which lowered the diesel noise a good bit!
Just picked up at 2021 Dodge ram Cummings diesel. I also have a 2018 Dodge ram with the big hemmie. Love Then both. Pull a 9000 pound trailer to Georgia from California with my 6.4 It pulled that trailer like a big dog. With the coil Springs. It was not a Cadillac ride but it was real close. Awesome video I just subscribed
Congrats and thanks for the sub 👍🏾
