Gen 2 SCAB rear end kicks sideways over bumps??

Ocotillo Boy · Jul 16, 2018

I live on 2.2 miles of dirt road and my brand new 18' SCAB rear end kicks sideways over certain bumps at speed.

New and stiff suspension or???

Also, lots of axle hop when even applying the slightest bit of throttle in the dirt.

Lastly, will this thing feel quicker as it gets some miles on it? (Still under 100 miles)

Thanks, OB

Try a pedal commander and deavers. Unfortunately it’s the only “fix” I know of. Loving the combo.

Check tire pressure.

Our 18 SCAB does this on corduroy road sections.
What tire pressure would reduce the effect?

The sideways kick is normal.

get a tune.

yeah, tune the truck, reprogram the ecu. The truck is dumbed down for the general public. A simple canned tune will really wake the truck up. I agree, it isn't very exciting stock, in normal mode.

Will the whipple tune solve this?

Whatever tune you choose. I use 5 star, many on here like MPT, and also many like whipple.
