Need MFT adjustment instructions

[wayne47]

As I summarized in this post, my MFT needs to be adjusted. Searching online, I can not find any information on how to do this. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to mess it up by loosening the wrong thing.

My driver side MFT doesn't stay at 90. It slammed in and hurt me when I was loading stuff in it pretty bad.

It locks at like 20 degrees and 40. Nothing at 90 and it wants to turn in.

Passenger side one works like I WISH the driver side did.

Would definitely love to know how to get it fixed...

My truck lost it's mind (no 4WD, no cruise, no lane warnings, no collision avoidance, no ABS, Check Engine light, etc). So it's at the dealer this morning. I'm having them look at the MFT while there.

Note that @GeorgiaBoy replied to my post saying that his did have a detent. I'm presuming it's an adjustment issue.

Sorry @wayne47, I totally forgot to check mine in response to your other thread. CRS is real, what can I say?

I'm assuming you have had this looked at by a dealership? It sounds like it's more than just an adjustment, but I could be wrong. Either way, you could be voiding any warranty that covers the MFT if you try making adjustments on your own. Don't get me wrong, I've taken things like this into my own hands to adjust (rambox lids for instance), but only after first giving the dealership techs a shot at it.

Went to the dealer today. The tech (not the service advisor) said he never worked on the MFT and would need to take it apart to learn how to work on it. The service advisor said he wasn't sure if it even was suppose to stay open LOL.

Needless to say I didn't let them touch it and screw it up.

I can add something of value though not sure it's enough but here is a exploded view

Did they end up fixing anything? What happened about the MFT?

Got my truck back. The ABS unit died and took the network down, not a good design IMO.

No luck on the MFT at the dealer. No luck with RAM Care.

Thanks for the diagram.

I tried calling and emailing this guy - no luck so far. But I have not caught him in the office. Maybe some other people will have better luck.

I had the problem of the driver side MFT door not staying open at 90 degrees and hitting me in my back while loading several times. When I went to my local large dealership the tech explained he has never seen or worked on an MFT before and the service advisor informed me that they "don't sell...
