    I would guess that first also.

    I've also read a few times people have overfilled the gas (kept topping off after the pump clicked off) and it screws with the EVAP system. This causes a CEL and goes into limp mode. Which also turns TRAC off.

    With out codes I'm of little help. Maybe some others can be more helpful.

    Just tell the French police that you are a card carrying member of TW.
    Let them figure out what TW means.

    Keep telling them you use the buddy system, no more flying solo in Rex Kwon Do!

    Appreciate you sharing that because I'm considering selling my Bilstein 6112/5160 takeoffs. $475 for those crusty 5100's seems high to me but dang maybe I can recoup some serious coin on mine...

    I assumed the price was that high for two reasons. One, because the availability of aftermarket parts especially shocks has been pretty rough for a while now. And two, everyone in the midwest prices everything so ridiculously expensive that there are times that I think about giving up trying to find deals :rofl: like seriously I'm going through Craigslist and people are asking like $100 for stock carpet mats. C'mon man. Also, why are you selling your suspension?

    Yeah makes sense, shock supply has been up & down and sometimes hard to find. And yeah finding local parts in the midwest is near impossible at times. I upgraded to Fox shocks and no longer need the Bilsteins, considering to sell them because I'm not sure keeping them around will do me any good.

    If they're almost not worth selling keep them. Can use them if you need to send the fox's in for revalve or rebuild when the time comes. Or if you wheel to hard and bend a shaft.

    I've thought about that and it makes some sense for the front 6112's but on the rear I can't use the 5160's anymore because leaf pack lifts too high. I'd need to buy something longer for the back. Figure I'd cross that bridge in the future. And hopefully I'm not breaking anything yet because it's my daily and I'm a chicken (confirmed as much on this weekend's trip lol). Jason I'll let you break things instead it's more fun when it's not my money LOL.

    I think there are some differences in the clip positions between 2nd and 3rd gen so I'm not 100% sure they would be good for you 3rd gen dudes (but maybe I'm wrong).

    Haven't even thought about price yet but dang if some crusty 5100's are $475 I'd imagine somewhere upwards from there. Brand new the combo was $1200, would expect to last 60-80k miles depending how hard you push them and I pulled them off just shy of 30k miles with only street usage. $700 reasonable? I don't know.
