GEN3 37 Package - shutter/vibration in steering wheel/suspension on bumps

this sounds like how my trk feels when the drive mode fails , which its done 4x now ! It defaults to full stiff and rides like an old 1 ton.

What year and model do you have? I’ll try adjusting drive mode settings and see if it changes anything. I hope it’s that easy but sounds like something more serious and it’s really just not even close to fun to drive.

22. Try that or the shock button on the steering wheel

Not yet, UAW strike continues to keep me in a holding pattern as the dealer is waiting for hotline response from Ford how best to move forward. I sent along info on your SSM5160 work but didn't receive response though it sounds like that wasn't a true fix so will probably steer clear of that and try and address the larger issue. Will circle back if I get any additional feedback.

No code in the BCM-C unfortunately. Would a solenoid sending inconsistent or inaccurate data possibly have this effect? The only thing noticeable from the live data is that the RR height sensor occasionally shows small high frequency movements when at rest while the other 3 are rock solid.

Following up on this old post. Did you ever get this issue sorted out? I’m dealing with a similar issue currently.

I was never able to get Ford to address it or even diagnose it so I ended up going non-live valve but eventually traded the truck in and got a 24' 801a. As luck would have it, my brand new truck had calibration issues right off the lot, but the dealer was able to get that ironed out after some kicking and screaming (they tried to tell me it was functioning properly when it was clearly stiff as a board). I decided to circumvent the oem livevalve all togerher and put Eclik on the truck, as it has become clear that for an unlucky few of us the oem live valve setup just isn't reliable. I like having the adjustability of the eclik and real time read out of what the solenoids are doing. I haven't had a chance to really excercise it off-road but from everything I've read and seen it should perform better than oem off road as well, so win-win from my perspective.
