I just made 10,000 miles on my 2500 CTD. I have a 5th wheel toy hauler that weighs approx 10,000 lbs. loaded. I have pulled it probably 1/2 of the miles showing on the odometer.
Seems like I heard recently about some 1 ton's that had the wrong springs installed. I saw something on a recall site referencing that issue. But nothing regarding the 3/4 ton trucks. Anyone besides me feel that the shocks or springs in the front may be a little weak? Clearance on the yellow rubber piece that keeps the a-frames from bottoming is only about 1 1/2 to 2". It appears that they are touching regularly as in shiney.

 

I believe there's a TSB and it is for the 2500/3500 models - NON 4X4 if I'm not mistaken.

It is for replacement of springs that have been found to be too weak. Do a search here as it was dicussed a few weeks ago. Also check out Genos website for ALL TSB's. It WILL raise your front end (from what others have said that have had it done).

Good luck!

 

I'll do more research. It is a 2WD.

 

I checked Geno's but couldn't find a link to the TSBs. Maybe I am not looking hard enough.

I believe the issue is only with a certain '05 3500 series 2wd duallies only.
Regular contact with the joust bumpers is normal for the front suspension. Acts like a secondary shock absorber for the suspension.
