Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Mor-Ryde RL system for pickup truck
Permalink  

Hi,

I'm still trying to find a way to soften the non towing ride of our F350 diesel dually.

I'm  looking at the Mor-Ryde RL system for the drive axle and am wondering if anyone in the group has it, or knows anyone who has experience with it.

Here's the link.  http://tinyurl.com/2qf83m

Any comments, or alternatives would be more than welcome.

Thanks,

Fred

Fred,

A few months ago I took a short test drive in a new 2006 Chevy 3500 Duramax, DRW and was very surprised with the smooth and quiet ride.  Admittedly, it was a short drive on city streets, but I did not feel that the ride was harsh at all.  I was fully expecting it to feel like a truck, but it rode like a nice luxury automobile!

I didn't check closely as we are not ready to buy yet, so I don't know if it had some type of aftermarket add-on to soften the ride.  Since it was a new one at the local Chevy dealer I assume it had the standard factory suspension.

Before we make a decision I'll go back and take a longer test drive and include getting on the interstate to see how it feels.  

Hopefully someone will give you some feedback on the Mor-Ryde RL system.

Hey Fred,

Several years ago we owned an Avion fiver.  The suspension was pretty bad and it was all over the road, especially yaw.  Typically would blow 4 or 5 tires in a summer's travels

Previous Avion pull trailers came equipped with a Mor-Ryde suspension and there was very little vibration and the rig handled quite well.  We replaced the fiver's suspension with a Mor-Ryde and we were very pleased with the results.  No more blow outs either. We could place a glass of water on the floor near the mid entry and 300 miles later it was still there.  I know that some fivers come with a MorRyde pin box to smooth some of that ride. 

That being said, while I am sure that the MorRyde will help your truck, it is still a heavy duty truck and it may not be enough.

Mike

Fred,  We had the Mor/Ryde RL suspension installed on a GMC 3500 1 ton dually at Mor/Ryde in Elkhart Ind.   We only used it for a very short time, it did seem to help when we weren't towing.   But when we were towing I don't think it help very much.   But keep in mind we didn't give it a fair test.   We had a problem with the harsh ride when going over the concrete dividers, and we were trying to lessen the hard bumps.   We traded the 3500 and now have a Link Air ride suspension and Air ride seats.   I believe the Air rides seats is what makes our Chevy Kodiak ride so much better than the 3500.   GBY....
