3 minute read

When it comes to the 2019 Ram 3500, owners expect robust performance and unmatched durability. However, even the most reliable trucks can encounter issues, particularly with complex systems like air suspension. We've encountered our fair share of air suspension problems with the 2019 Ram 3500 and have gathered invaluable insights on how to address these issues effectively. Let's explore how to keep your truck running smoothly, ensuring that your air suspension system maintains its integrity and functionality.

Recognizing the Signs of Trouble

The first step in addressing air suspension problems is to recognize the signs that something might be amiss. Common indicators include the vehicle sitting lower than normal, a noticeable difference in ride quality, or the air compressor running excessively. These symptoms can suggest issues ranging from leaks in the air bags to failures in the suspension's electronic controls. By staying alert to these signs, we can diagnose problems early, preventing more significant damage and ensuring the longevity and performance of your Ram 3500.

Diagnosing Common Air Suspension Issues

Diagnosing the exact cause of air suspension problems requires a careful and methodical approach. We start by checking the air compressor and air bags for signs of wear or damage. Electrical connections and sensors also play a crucial role in the proper functioning of the air suspension system. In many cases, the issue may stem from a simple electrical fault or a leak in the air lines. Our team uses specialized diagnostic tools to pinpoint the source of the problem, ensuring we address the right issue without unnecessary replacements or repairs.

Effective Solutions for Air Suspension Repair

Once we've identified the cause of the air suspension issue, our next step is to implement an effective solution. For leaks in the air bags or lines, replacing the damaged components is often necessary. If the problem lies with the air compressor or electronic controls, repair or replacement might be required. We always recommend using high-quality parts for any repairs to ensure the longevity and reliability of the fix. Additionally, resetting the vehicle's electronic system can sometimes resolve issues without the need for more extensive repairs.

Preventative Measures and Maintenance Tips

Preventing future air suspension problems is just as important as fixing current ones. Regular automotive maintenance checks can help identify potential issues before they become significant problems. This includes inspecting the air suspension components for signs of wear or damage, ensuring the air compressor is functioning correctly, and checking for leaks in the system. By taking these preventative steps, we can help ensure the air suspension system in your 2019 Ram 3500 remains reliable and effective, providing you with a comfortable ride and optimal performance.
