AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR FAILED WITH TRUCK IN MOTION AND THE VEHICLE SWERVED. VEHICLE NOW SITS AND DRIVES LOPSIDED. TRUCK HAD 59,573 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF RAM TRUCKS AIR SUSPENSION FAILING IN COLD WEATHER REGIONS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THE AIR SUSPENSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD TO REPLACE THE FAILED OEM COMPONENTS BECAUSE THEY JUST FAIL IN A YEAR OR TWO AGAIN. THE SAFEST FIX IS TO REMOVE THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND REPLACE IT WITH SHOCKS AND SPRINGS.

IT LOSSES POWER THE EXHAUST FILTER IS FULL EVEN WHEN IT WAS JUST CHANGED IT IS A 2016 ECO DIESEL DODGE RAM 1500

THE COMPRESSOR THAT OPERATES THE AIR SUSPENSION IS BAD. UPON A LITTLE RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF RAM TRUCKS. ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER CLIMATES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WASN'T DRIVING IT.
