Worked out great. I'd do the same thing again without hesitation.

It really is hard to explain to someone how much of a difference these make.

I'm running them with my stock AT-4 leafs with zero issues.

Honestly, $1,100 doesn't sound like a bad price. I had PPF, with a lifetime warranty, installed in Missoula 3 years ago and is was a few dollars under $1K. No paint work but I had PPFinstalled in a few additional locations (door handle wells, A-plillars, headlights).

I've had no issues using the stock leafs with DSSV's on my AT-4.

I have read that the DSSV's put in the Canyon's & Colorado's have had some issues but I haven't read of any issues in the 1/2 ton trucks. If I remember correctly, the 1/2 ton version has a larger diameter rod and maybe other changes I'm not familiar with. Mine haven't leaked a drop (knock on wood) and truly transformed the truck's road manners.

Look into Multi-Matic DSSV's.

I went from the stock Ranchos (junk imo) to some new take-off DSSV's. Night and day difference. Not sure if you have a 2" factory lift? My AT-4 does and the Multi-Matics bolted right up.

Yes I've had this happen. Usually able to go back to adaptive cruise in less than 30 minutes.

This is definitely a great upgrade! I very recently drove on a very poorly constructed and maintained state highway in Arizona (St. Hwy 89). Last year with the stock Rancho's the drive was unpleasant to say the least. This year drive with DSSV's installed was a much improved driving experience. Highly recommend this upgrade.

Damn, you've got to be beyond frustrated. It looks like you have documented things well. Not sure where you reside but Lemon laws exist for a reason and that documentation, should it become necessary, will come in handy. Not sure which manager you're dealing with but if it's the Service manager and he doesn't call you back as promised with a clear plan to make it right I'd speak with the General manager. Then the owner if that yields no fruit. After that it's Defcon 5. Banging the drum with GM corporate. I'd start with the CEO. Contact a Lemon Law attorney if that option is available to you (and you've satisfied the requirements). Banners on a trailer parked in front of the dealership. My comments may seem like I fly off-the-handle easily. I don't.

I was thinking of your dealer having a laptop connected to your truck while you are actually pulling the trailer. I think I would tell them if you can't spare a tech to ride with me on that drive I'll be back in XX minutes.

GM and your dealer should be taking better care of you. There must be a way for them to hook a laptop to your truck to monitor parameters while you recreate the problem. If they continue to yank you around I think I would put giant banners on each side of my trailer with a not-so-great testimonial and park it in front of their dealership.

OP, Just to give you some hope. I had an emissions issue within the first 7,500 miles (If I'm remembering correctly). The dealer replaced a NOX sensor and a CAT. Currently just under 50K miles and have had zero issues since.

I'd get it into the dealer ASAP. You'll stand a good chance of eating all or some of any repair costs if you're beyond 100K miles.

When I tow my 5K lb boat/trailer my DEF consumption goes way up. Power has never been an issue. Depending on how far your move is it might not be a bad idea to throw a box of DEF in the bed just in case. (I have a LM2, not a LZ0)

Just watched video. The presenter thought the cause of failure was oil starvation which seems plausible. Do we have a "low oil" warning system in our 3.0's?

I like the concept, although not new (Electro-Motive Diesel). A few observations from 10,000'. It seems a V-6 engine is overkill. Is Stellantis just trying to use up their remaining inventory of Penstar engines? I know the OP wanted to keep away from the brand wars but I doubt seriously I'd buy another Dodge product. I've had a few and still own one.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

Can I ask how you set a vehicle to transport mode? Didn't see it mentioned in the owner's manual.

Could be a bad injector. Take it to the dealership and let them fix it. 100K mile powertrain warranty.

Much better. Less noticeable at slow speeds but still noticeable. At speed is where they really shine. On the highway it almost feels like you're sitting on a beach ball. By that I mean that harsh road input is all but eliminated. On forest service roads with washboards and deep rain ruts it's very noticeable too.

I put Multimatics on my AT4 without issue. I didn't change the leafs. If your truck has a 2" lift already you should be good to go.
