    3" Icon lift, coilovers, reservoir r. shocks, AAL, Icon UCA, 17" Eagle wheels, extra electrical, inverter, ICOM VHF
    Had the spiral cable TSB done.
    Now, there is a random clicking sound coming from the area around/in front of the steering wheel or dash - most pronounced at 60+ mph.
    Sometimes, turning the wheel to either side - like going into a curve - stops it.
    Took the truck back to dealership. "Nothing in there which would cause a ticking or clicking noise".
    They poked around in the dash area and noticed "non-original wiring" from extra lights we've installed. "Maybe the problem is from add-on wiring".
    They want $360 to investigate.
    Any thoughts??

    Yep.

    They don't want to mess with your truck or admit they may have caused an issue. Love to use modifications to deny service.
