    its easy to straigh to wheel but the problem is that if you have advanced abs you need to recalibrate steering angle sensor if you just straighten it you will have tcs pop up and there is a good chance you need to replace sensor after. it should be easy to do for someone that has bendix software. it's a 5 min thing. take the shaft off the box have someone hold the wheel straight and put it back then recalibrate sensor just dont mak a bunch of turns with the wheel off cuz you will break the sensor.

    The wheel position sensor is there for traction control. Not all trucks have it. If you remove the shaft from the box and reposition it, it will trigger the traction control as it thinks you're turning the wheel when the truck is going straight. If you make any adjustments to it, it needs to be recalibrated. If you have a laptop and OBDII interface module, you can download the Bendix traction control software for free and recalibrate it yourself.

    Funny thing is once that #### code shows up on your dash, it will scare the hell out of you couse it feels like you don't have steer anymore. but if you jacked up and then just let it drop is what took care of it mine..
