After owning the 2016 Ram 1500 BigHorn Crew Cab 4x4 with the 3.0L EcoDiesel the factory air suspension failed and left me with no suspension at all. I took the vehicle to the local dealership thinking that the problem would be repaired under the extended warranty that I purchased through the dealership when I purchased the truck but was informed that the suspension was not included and the cost to repair it would be $4400. They said the issue was the compressor and the air relay component. I purchased aftermarket compressor and air relay component and had them installed by the dealership which only put a bandaid on the situation and although the air suspension still didn't function as it should, it at least had some suspension for about a week and then it completely failed again.
Now I am just trying to save enough to repair the factory suspension or replace it with coil springs and gas struts. Obviously there is more going on than the compressor and air relay component or the new parts would have fixed the problem. Now the vehicle has been to the dealership 3 times for the same problem but never been properly diagnosed therefore I don't know what the best and most cost effective option to take!!!! This is obviously a very WIDELY known issue as when I google it there are many others on google, YouTube and other forums discussing the air suspension problems especially in cold weather.
