3500 6-cyl Diesel

  • 107,000 miles
My 2016 Ram 3500 drw limited leans to the right approximately 3/4 inch. When I place my truck camper on top, the passenger side air bag/sensor does not rise equally with the left. As a result, I am driving down the road with an approximate 2 inch lean to the right. I did not notice the truck leans to the right until I purchased a truck camper 3 months ago. I took it to Ram, they put it on a computer to try and adjust the settings. It did not work. Apparently, only a few Ram mechanics in the us understand the system and can fix my issue. I'm more than happy to go anywhere to fix my issue. Apparently, there is no technical bulletin to fix my issue. I understand placing a camper on top of the truck is a modification to the truck. But, these trucks are marketed by Ram to support the rv industry. So, they should be able to get my rear calibrated close to zero. Why can't Ram work with the local dealer to fix my issue. I do not feel safe driving on the road with the truck leaning to right at 13,495 lbs gvw. (gvwr=14K). Can you help to connect with Ram to ask them to help fix my issue?
