Thanks man yeah I've already missed a couple shows. What annoys me is when I talked to the owner of KING, he kept pointing out that I was that type of person who was more particular than the average person like most people would've just ran them like that, he even when as far to say the originally damaged coilovers weren't that bad that others would've just installed them like that.

I'm speachless... Unbelievable. I would be on the fence in your situation to go call Fox or another company and tell them your misfortune with King. They won't be in business long screwing people like you.

 

Most people get the itch to buy upgraded shocks like these because they see them on lifted trucks at shows. I know that is how my uncle decided he had to have them. I guess their big money must come from pre-runner or full offraod racing.

Yeah they mostly sell to hardcore racers who don't give a damn about scratches. I would've called other manufacturers if my truck wasn't on jackstands right in the middle of show season.

Understandable. I still feel horrible for you because I saw first hand how hard it is on someone to miss shows. I wish you luck in getting the stuff back and bolted together.

 

Make sure to post pics!

Wow that's an unacceptable excuse to hear especially from the owner! It amazes me that a company would act like they don't even care with the way the economy is. You would think they would want you to be 100% satisfied so they can keep customers, and stay in business since not a lot of people are buying this kind of stuff right now.

I suppose they look at me as a one time customer who most likely won't need to buy from them more than once. Regardless, if it was my company I wouldn't want any negativity about my product or services anywhere at all.

Yeah still have a little bit left, including more coats on the CVs and TREs. I may or may not paint parts of the new wheel hubs.

 

I want the paint to dry at least a week do anything in and around the frame like the strut tower, A arms will be done Saturday.

 

I can always touch up other areas like the Rancho subframe etc at a later date.

Unreal........I know I would not have accepted those damaged parts, or the ones with different color paint. Sounds like you need to find a different place to get what you want. NO WAY the customer should be told they are to picky. I would point out that I want my money back and he can keep him crappy parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
