Alignment and some other shit

something I want to share with you guys, who knows, maybe it will help someone out.

I hit 500 miles on my 17 trd or and noticed my steering wheel was ever so fucking slightly off center to the right. No pulling or any other symptoms. After about a day and half of trying to convince myself "it's fine" just wait til I go in for the 5k and mention it, I crack, call the dealer and bring it in. They were beyond happy to address it. When I get the call for pick up the gentleman helping says " good thing you brought this in! Some things were off" that's how the toe was set when I received the truck from the dealership. It's all good now, although I still think my wheel may be off center, even less than the minute degree before hand. I'll drive it around for a couple days and see how I feel about it.

Another issue I wanted to bring to the forum that they couldn't help with... I noticed from the day I received the truck, right when you start it up and go into drive, then start moving foreword, as soon as the speedo reaches 5mph you hear a quick, kind of type writer-ish sound and it's gone. Only happens the first time after starting the truck. Service man said it's some sort of relay deal and they will have to make some calls and get back to me. Anyone experience the same sound?

And one more. This one I don't really care about but I'll just throw it out there. My digital speedo and other one don't match up, it's of by 1 - 2 mph, maybe it will just cure itself over time, after break in, who knows.


Alright, I'm done whining.

Cheers!

 

My toe settings were off from the factory as well. Speedometers mismatched 1-2 mph also.

 

The wheel spoke should be straight on a straight and level road if properly aligned. Your transmission noise may not normal, sounds like something's trying to adjust to something. But If it was me, I'd disconnect the neg battery cable for 20 minutes to let it learn all part interactions anew.
Your digital speedod would surprise me if it matched perfectly as they work differently one or two mph (depending on terrain) difference from time to time I would consider normal. Digital signals are generally sampled signals for XX amount of times per second averaged and displayed as opposed to analog signals which is usually a live (current) signal.

Cheers!

 

I got a leveling kit put on mine and I swear to got it looks like the front wheels have positive camber. My level says they're straight, but god damn.

And I have noticed that the alignments seem to get off very easy.

 

Anyones hood seems to be lower than the fender?
