That’s the thing though… the warranty coverage never changes or goes away. It’s just a question of whether or not something is a defect or induced by a modification. The only way a warranty can be voided for use of a not approved part is if the part it’s replacing is provided for free regardless...

That’s not entirely how it works. The singular part you have modified or swapped is your own problem of course, but every piece of original equipment is warranted against manufacturing defects for the duration of the warranty. When a modification has caused a failure the warranty isn’t denied...

Live valve or any other change in damping won’t alter static ride height. Damping force is zero when the shock isn’t moving so it’ll always settle to the same spot so long as spring rate, preload, and weight distribution remain the same. Parking on a hill impacts weight distribution. My driveway...

Corrosion is oxidization. What we are seeing here is pretty extreme though. anodized aluminum is significantly better in salt spray, but not impermeable. But you pretty much have to live right next to the ocean to hit that level of exposure that you *might* see some minor pitting over many...

This looks beyond just road salt to me. My aluminum sled trailer that gets blasted with salt and grit doesn’t even look that bad.

There’s no saving those. Ano has been eaten through. On anodized aluminum, accelerated corrosion like that is usually due to caustic chemicals or galvanic corrosion. Some car wash soaps are acidic and could do this if not diluted. I have a suspicion that galvanic corrosion is playing a roll...

Hey there’s the dual live valve shocks on some 24s too.

Stealth is nice on these. Works well with how metallic the paint is. Looks much better in person. Hate on ppf all you want. I didn’t do this for resale value haha.

There are two big questions in my mind regarding Fox aftermarket stuff and the gen 3. 1, do they do a single live valve and dual live valve version or just dual live valve and you have to buy a controlling if you have a single live valve truck? 2, will they accommodate the different travel...

That will almost certainly throw a code. But hold on let me sell you shocks…

Anyone know what part numbers the new dual live valve shocks are? I looked up shocks for a 24 R VIN and got all sorts of stuff including ml3z18125bn/bl which are on my 35 so definitely not the right shock for that truck.

Or the current part numbers on paper for an already produced vehicle have fallen behind new production. Seems like a lot of part numbers exist for these shocks. I guess looking at a 24 on the lot would likely be the way to figure out which it is.

It’s interesting how everyone is getting different part numbers. Do the stickers on the backside of the reservoir match what’s written or are they the ml3v18w002/3?

Anywhere between off and full time on is the auto range. The closer it gets to on full time the more sensitive it is.
