The Auto 4WD thing is really no big deal.  I never use that setting anyway.  I want my truck in 2WD or 4WD when I decide- not my truck.   Even if you use it, it isn't likely to catastrophica

Bilstein is one of the most respected companies in shocks/struts - I trust them.  I spoke to one of their engineers who was part of the R&D on the new 6112 kit for the TB/AT4.  They are very proud

Yes, quite a bit actually.  I had to remove the bracket behind the fender liner, trim the splash guards a lot, and zip-tie the felt liner back as far as I could.  There is still some very minor rubbing at full lock, but it isn't grabbing the plastic anymore so I'm good with it.  I don't really want to trim any more because I want to avoid holes in the fender liner.

I know this is a relatively old post, however it's probably worth mentioning that these are the LT 285/55/22 (124/121Q) which is the hybrid version.  The inflated height/diameter is 34.61" with a width of 11.69". This is a larger tire in height from the AT or MT versions of the same tire.  AT is D-34.37" and W-11.69" while the MT is D-34.53" and W-12.05"

Maybe something to consider when determining lift/level amount and any potential trimming needed.

I know this is an old post but it's probably worth mentioning that these tires are the 285/55/22 LT (124/121Q) which is the hybrid version of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.  They are larger in diameter than both the MT and AT versions of the same tire.   I know sometimes it comes down to a matter of millimeters when determining lift/level and any potential trimming so here are the inflated measurements of the LT/MT and AT for comparison if considering the LT 285/55/22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
