LOL. I just figured out the pump thing a few years ago. I have two cars/trucks I regularly drive and the fill caps are on opposite sides. For years I never remembered which side. Now I look at that every time I fill up. How'd I go a lifetime to only find that recently?!

My Ford Escape is full-time AWD drive, too. I'm betting there's a difference in the way it works vs 4wd in a truck. In other words, I bet the locked hubs on a true 4wd create more drag than a vehicle with true AWD. I'm sure someone can explain it. I do exactly as co-stark and ftwhite. I use the full-time 4wd (which probably the correct term vs true AWD) when the roads are patchy. I think my buddy meant don't leave it in full-time all the time. Just use it temporarily as you would 4wd high.

I have a buddy who's a GM mechanic and he told me not to drive around with it in AWD for extended periods. I run mine just like you do here in Colorado on the roads when they're patchy. My buddy said it locks the front hubs and senses slip and engages when necessary. I still run in it AWD in those conditions. If it's solid snow/ice it's in 4 wheel high.

I apologize for resurrecting an old thread but this is the only one I could find that relates in any way to my problem. The 60% seat would not stay in the upright position. It would start to drop back down on it's own. Using the last post here as a guide I found the "tab" wasn't staying in the latch cutout. I ended up using a dremel to remove some metal in the cutout until it worked. Of course, you don't need to remove much. I did that and then it wouldn't come back down. It was locked solid. It works better for sure but not like the other side nor like my 2009. I'm curious if anyone else since this thread started has had my issue where the seat wouldn't stay up and what you did to fix it.

I believe it uses the Maestro until to be controlled by the steering wheel. I had that with a Kenwood head unit in my 2009. Each button is programmable. I was never able to get it to be the exact same functions though, overall, it was just as functional.

Ah, thanks! I actually like the constant on the dash. I'd like to change the armrest (bench seat) to constant as well.

Where/how is that changed? Maybe I missed it.

I got those messages on my '09 as well. It is a daily occurrence for 4 months here in Colorado. It's a bit more obtrusive in the '18. There are a lot of messages popping up when you're towing a trailer in freezing temperatures with a bluetooth phone connecting and a saved song being found when you first start the truck!

Drove mine to the alignment shop this morning after moving from the 2nd to 3rd setting and I feel no difference in roughness.

Zasker, I guess I’ll find out if I have the same thing. I’ve had my truck on the 2nd ring from bottom for the last 1500 miles. I pulled them yesterday and just picked up the springs after having a shop move it to the 2nd highest setting. Your experience has me a little freaked out!

To follow up on this for future searchers. I moved the ring to the second setting from the bottom. It yielded almost 1" of lift in the front. If I had to be precise I'd say around 7/8" or a smidge more.

I apologize if this particular question has been answered but I've searched and searched and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running stock tire size and have no plans to run larger tires. I put 5100's all around a couple weeks ago and love the ride at the stock setting for the front. I came from a '09 Sierra that had more ground clearance than this '18. I have 9" at the air dam and 10" to the step rails. The dam on my '09 is in the backwoods somewhere and it was higher. I don't want a full 2" lift and am contemplating moving the fronts to the .75" or 1.25" setting and adding another inch to the rear. I've seen numerous posts where the 1.25" setting is more like 1.5". I've found two posts where the poster has theirs at the .75" setting. One said it gave .75" and the other said 1". If it's 1" I'll probably move to that setting. I'd really like the 1.25" if that's what it really does.

I had a local place put provide and install the fronts. I got it back about an hour ago. I ordered rears off Amazon for $72 each. I can feel a difference in the front and the back bounces a bit more compared to front. That's my seat of the pants feel for an 8 mile ride. I'll run it like this til I get the 5100's for the rear.

I've read through as much of this thread as I can but I'm sure I missed this somewhere. I'm having some installed as we speak and I asked them to leave it on the lowest for stock height. I actually like the rake and don't care to level it out. After I get through a hunting season and figure out if I want some lift I may move them up a notch or two for clearance. How many people are running the 5100's on their lowest setting? If you did, did you end up raising it later?

I've got 87k miles on my '09 and had the service stabilitrak come on three times in the last 18 months. It only stays on for about 10 miles. No codes show up with the odbii reader but that's not unusual according to my mechanic buddy. He said it could be a whole host of things which this thread seems to point out. I'm hoping a resolution shows up in this thread and that, maybe, it can work for me, too.
