    I know I’m praying I don’t have to redo my high steer. The pass side is noticeably lower than the driver. I’m prob gonna end up doing like 8 degrees castor to make sure it’s ok.

    look at the pass vs driver high steer.

    My buddy's 2020 f250 has death wobble as well. All stock. Took it in to Ford dealer and they service some suspension and steering components. That fixed it for about 6k miles and now back to death wobble. I'm stomped, barely 17k on the odometer.

    Yeah iirc they have an open recall for the steering stabilizer as a fix but that's about it lol

    I put on their replacement Monroe or whatever and it lasted about 500 mi

    Haven't checked castor on either side yet but sitting here and had another thought. Maybe I have a U joint that is binding and fighting the steering return to center

    SAS, 40s, and some armor.
    So I ripped all the VSS wiring out and started over...
    Still can't get it to work... Anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone have a skid control schematic for a 2014 v6 automatic?

    Tested one of the sensors. (colors are from the harness that came from the sensor. )
    Red - Ground
    Black -Power
    White - Sensing (Got resistance when spinning sensor gear.)

    Tested the harness
    ground - white
    power - green/black (12V with key on only)
    Sense - Red/yellow(assuming as this has worked on several trucks.)

    when hooking it all together I did as follows but unfortunately did not work.
    Red to white
    Black to green/black
    white to red/yellow

    That looks really good. Not wanting to cut through my bed is the one thing that has stopped me from thinking about linking the rear :D

    Anytime somebody criticizes my welds I respond by saying that Toyotas have the ugliest robotic welds ever and they were deemed ok, so who cares LOL

    I still want a fully functioning bed. I will end up building a removable cap cover so I can sleep in it during rain and snow trip

    Would be great to see what you end up doing. Need some ideas.

    I use the bed a lot for hauling things around. The other day I took a bunch of stuff to the dump and was thinking how glad I am to have the factory bed intact. Same when I moved some furniture and then purchased a big ass tool box. This the primary reason why I have never bobbed the bed.

    I'll tag you when I'm done building the cap after I assembled everything else. Might be months, but I'll get there. :D

    Will began with my extremely expensive Cardboard Assisted Designed first than made them out of aluminum, but will see

    Might take some time to like the rear stretched. Will see how it look after the bed get trim. It's merely on its own weight, well kinda.
