Overall an easy job but the 4th from the firewall sits right under the booster so I used a spark plug 5/8 and 2 extensions to fish the plug out.

GEARWRENCH 3/8" Drive 6 Pt. 5/8"... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014ZVSVK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This swivel socket was a life saver.

After the swap out the truck feels more responsive, hoping to pick up some mpg 🤞.

91 Grade here is BC is 1.98 so per gallon (3.79ltr = 1 USg) that works out to $7.50 per gallon USD!
I’d walk before paying that!

A buddy of mine was just across the border in BC and was paying $1.98 CAD/L. Using this calculator, it converts to $5.39 USD/G. Basically, California prices.

They added the note on their website about the lack of a service brake setting after I asked about it. They apologized to me and offered a return or a discount. I took the discount and will have to reinstall the factory radio to service the rear brakes in the future.

Cool yeah that's the only thing that's kind of holding me back from purchasing the linkswell xl for my ram. Which I could do my back brakes then install the linkswell since it would be 3 or 4 yrs before I'd have to service them again. It's jus the rear brakes correct? You don't have to disable the electronic brake if you service your front brakes do you? Linkswell did send me an email back after I had asked them what that message meant and they did tell me there engineer's are working to try and get that brake service feature on the next generation modles that come out. I really like the big screen and I really like that it has rca sub outputs on it like a after market radio usually has plus better EQ settings and sub level outputs on it instead of having to use a line out converter to install after market sub and amps
 
Welp, got the full experience of the advanced forward braking system yesterday. I have mine set at the furthest distance so i've gotten the 3 beeps a couple times but never gotten to the point where the truck takes over. I'm a also not a tail-gaiter so likely why it doesn't trigger too much on the far setting.

Basically dry weather, daylight, driving on a 45mph town road. And we were doin about that. 2 cars ahead of me, and it looked like the one in front of me was right up to the one in front of them. Pretty sure what happened is the person 2 cars up, brake-checked the person in front of me, but i had looked into my pass side view mirror and out the window for a sec at that moment so I'm not sure. Anyway, i heard the beeps and took my foot off the gas to go to the brake as i turned to see what was happening and before i could get to the brake pedal, the truck was like "nope... we're doin this NOW." and locked 'em tf up... and i say it that way because it wasn't like jamming on the brakes and getting the abs... it like nosedived and screeched more than i would have expected. Seemed to let up when i did get on the brake pedal, but i was not expecting that. I was able to stop with what i would call a pretty ok amount of space between me and the car in front of me.

So if you want my yelp review... 5-stars... it works... I took her for a wash and a full tank o gas right after the adrenaline wore off, for saving my bacon. 🥰
 
Today, after too much time spent on this forum, I finally made a decision on tires. Went with the Nitto Ridge grappler in a 285/65/R20. Couldn't be happier with the look!

glad it works.
i turned mine off because i got these random "warnings" when there's absolutely nothing in front of me for miles.

not sure if the truck's seeing things from other dimensions or what.

That’s great till the guy tailgating you gets brake checked by a computer and then you get rear ended😲

Glad you were able to avoid the frontal collision.👍🏻

Ive had the reverse braking kick in a couple of times when it shouldnt. Its usually when Im backing out of my driveway, because the law across the street slopes up dramatically. It wouldnt have cause any damage if I backed into the lawn, but it scared the hell out of me.

Ive also had it happen once when backing out of a parking space. I was nowhere near the car behind me and it slammed them on.

Worst is when I forget to turn it off and try to back up my boat. Scared the crap out of me the first time. Thought I hit something.😲
