    Unsolved Issue

    If you have a soft tonneau cover on bed some models will vibrate at highway speeds and rattle the rear of truck. If you have a cover open it fully and see if vibration is still present. Long shot but possible.

    ESC fully off, or only partially.

    Had done the same mod on a 2009 Tacoma. Simple cut and wire in a switch to deactivate ABS/VSC. Worked great. Anyone have any ideas what wire in a Ram would do the same thing?

    Spring compressor

    I don’t think its up to the task of compressing 1500 springs. Even though it states 3/4” max. for diameter springs and ours measure 11/16”. Read the negative reviews. Not good. May be ok for Tacomas and Frontiers.

    Magnefine Filter for 8HP70
