Q: do they really increase your payload helper/overload springs do not increase payload. they only help the truck to carry its factory rated load if you carry a camper how much does it weight empty and if you know loaded weight. every camper empty is different every camper loaded is different. go to a dealer and find out what the manufacturers stated dry weight is. most campers weigh enough that when you have it the wife kids dogs etc and whatever gear you take with you camping a 3/4 ton single rear wheel truck is seriously overloaded yet you see it done everyday. look at the sidewall of your tires and see what the rated capacity is. thats why they make duallys ill start watching reality tv shows when i can vote people off the planet. .

2.5 amps is excessive. beings the alternator was just replaced i would start there. disconnect the alternator and check the amp draw again. if it is considerably lower you bought a lemon alternator. if disconnecting the alternator makes no differance pull fuses one at a time to see if the load shows up then. you did disconnect or remove the bulb for the underhood light right greg .

2001 ram 1500 v8 5.9 being from south florida i dont run into this problem often. i was up north twice and when the temperature gets below 50 my engine makes a loud whistling noise. it seems to vary with accelerator setting beginning at around 40 mph all the way up to 70 mph. my first thoughts are a fuel pump problem. any ideas .
