Q: tom lawrence wrote im not sure what else to tell you - this absolutely works. starting in the off position cycle the key to on where the instrument panel lights illuminate then back one notch to off back to on then to off then finally to on. any stored codes will be displayed on the odometer. much to my dismay i couldnt get this to work on the wifes liberty either when the check engine light came on. i thought jeep would work like a dodge but i finally decided that i was wrong and took it to the dealership and let them figure it out. ended up being a bad egr. craig c. .

in response to tom lawrence s post. i thought everyone should know bilsteins are expensive. depends... i put a set of 5100s on my ram a few months ago with a dramatic improvement in handling and general road feel. i paid $79 each. rancho rs5000s go for about $53 each. so about $100 more for the bilstiens. yes they were more expensive but not terribly so. i acknowledge that i would have gotten very similar results from a set of rs5000s.... but what the heck. are you up to 3 wheels on the back yet to get all that power to the ground or are you just counting on the new shocks to help keep her planted gbmfg -- chris .
