    The ride height I have now about 1/2 inch above spec on rear bags. Front bags are at spec. Seems to fix issue unless I am going 70 mph + downhill. Knocking went away a little after fuel pump was reinstalled with proper timing. Still have knocking on hard pull in higher gears around 1500-1600 rpm. Resolution- I have yet to find a shop that knows what they are doing and does warranty work. I have bout given up on issue and will ride until failure.
     
    JonJon78 and dztruck Thank this.

    #### that sucks to hear. Im still having the same issue. Just a few weeks ago my driveshaft fell off completely. Was able to salvage the part and put it back on but its still making that noise. Beware my friend.

    Only the best quality control right?!
    Factory also forgot to insert all bolts to my forward universal. Darn Covid build truck!

    The problem I'm having is when I give it fuel the RPMs rev but it doesn't accelerate... I have to barley give it any fuel and ease into it to go anywhere. Called one shop today that claims it sounds like my clutch is bad? IDK. Going to make an appointment to have the ride height checked first and go from there...

    Definitely sounds like a slipping clutch.

    Had that happen in low gears a few times lately. Clutch inspected and adjusted 4 times!! Not very happy.I was told last week after last adjustment that the clutch is over 50 % good and no metal shavings…
