    I’m having some serious growling noise coming from my driveline. I checked trans and it looks ok all gears look fine, only a little metal dust in fluid. I was told to make sure my ride height is correct. Can anyone help me find out the correct height per my vin?

    What's your vin?

    What the truck built that low, or did the body builder alter it? If the chassis is altered by the rack builder, I can't get a factory spec for you.

    That is a good question. I have no idea. But here is my vin: 1hshnahr93h561887. Can you also tell what transmission model I have by the vin? My trans is missing the tag on it.

    Trans is a Meritor MO-14G9B-M14 9 speed.

    Your ride height, as built from the factory, is 5.25 inches measured from the bottom of the air bag pedestal to the top plate.

    Thank you I am going to measure in the morning, I’m quite certain it is way too high.

    I checked the height and that 5.25 seems awfully low. When you say top plate, are you referring to the top air bag mount?

    Definitely was the ride height! Unfortunately there is damage to the front rear. Looks like some decent metal shavings in my diff oil. What would you charge me to send a copy of my build sheet over to my email? Haulingautos@gmail.com
    That way I can find out what I have or am supposed to have on my truck when stuff like this arises lol

    I have no problem with a couple part numbers here and there, but in order to give you that I have to break down each line and simply can't do that.
