[QUOTE="TravisHTX, post: 2017616, member: 40530"] Yea, your story seems to be the most common I have read when searching through the forum for a similar issue. In most stories the dealer just throws parts at it. Or maybe there was a resolution, but the OP might not have gotten around to updating their thread with the answer. I guess that is option 4. Buy a new truck! The wife would be pleased! Obviously that's a better choice than new floors. Since the truck is out of warranty, I don't want to just keep throwing parts at it, hoping its the fix. I would rather drop the money on new shocks and E-Click, than the dealers bill me for swapping everything out one at a time. It seems like there is not many people who really understand well enough to properly diagnose this live valve system. I am the kind of guy that likes to know why. Maybe one of the many much more experienced/knowledgeable people on here can teach me something. Why would these live valve shocks gets more stiff with wear? Is it specific to these live valve shocks, and the valve gets stuck? Is it general thing with all of these performance shocks, and the oil breaking down providing less lubrication? Or? Another thing that I do not understand, which may be normal, when switching the drive modes on the truck, and monitoring the live data on Forscan, why does the duty cycle % not change? After changing the drive mode, I pull the truck forward like 20 feet or so (which seems to be enough for the VDM to wake up after startup), but it never changes. This question leads me to believe that this may be a VDM/control issue. Is my test not sufficient? [/QUOTE]
