Turbos are balance as an assembly. Replacing just the compressor and not rebalancing isn't recommended.

The elevates look like deavers. Sam einstall kit, price is even the same. Just get deavers. My Icon's wore out in 2yrs, switched back to deavers (gen1 had deavers) and the deavers ride better than the icons. @Rick at FMS can you help you out with the deavers.

I have a Winnebago MicroMinnie 2100BH, bunkhouse model. Comes lifted with torsion axles and 30” tires, and equipped with solar. I think the non-bunkhouse models have a queen bed. It’s 22ft and roughly 5-5500lbs loaded. Goes great with WDH and anti sway. They are pricey for the size, but the...

Probably oil residue from oil changes. Or the plastic pan is leaking.

I guess if you let the shocks go way too long between rebuilds and the wear bands wear out, then piston starts wearing on the body this could happen. But shocks that are in good shape don't make a lot of metal shaving. And the condition of all of these parts should be checked at every rebuild...

Get a smaller trailer, or get an F250. 1/2 ton trucks have no business towing a 30ft 7k lb trailer.

Regardless, in theory I guess that internal valve stuff could sludge up over time. But there’s so much pressure moving that stuff around I don’t see it getting stuck.

Again, the needle is not the main control for oil flow. It is a small bleed port. When it is shut, the main flow control piston is hydraulically locked in place, and can’t move. When open, it relieves this pressure and allows the piston to open and allow oil to flow through. The pressure comes...

The needle doesn't directly control oil flow from the body to the reservoir. It controls hydraulic pressure on the actual valve that controls flow. If you'd had one of the apart you'd know what I'm talking about- In the non-livevalve gen2 shocks, the reservoir orifice (on the compression side)...

They are solenoids. Solenoids are an electromagnetically controlled valve. And they don't control a needle, the live valve is a pretty complex hydraulic flow control valve. If all the solenoid did was control a needle, it wouldn't be able to be PWM'ed, it would be open or closed.

0 ph will do melt a lot more off the truck than just the ceramic coating lol

I just took Icons off my truck that were worn out and W'ed in only 2.5yrs/40k miles on "option 1". I replaced them deaver +3HD's on and the truck rides better than the Icon's ever did. Will always recommend deaver. Also a big thanks to @Rick at FMS for helping me get into the new set of...

That Amsoil fluid is the wrong viscosity for the 10r80, do not run it.

I just run water.

Delete the IWE's and move on with your life. I didn't even notice a fuel mileage change in my truck.
