That's the cheers from the throngs of single women wanting to know if the owner of that truck is available.
There is a type in "throngs". Just simple observation with my experience while using the damper at the beach.

It seems below 30F my damper screams and is very slow lowering. It’s ok going up but man it sure screams going down.

Above 30 no problem???

WTH… no I’m not picking on Dave.
When it gets very cold, a lot of weird things happen to our trucks. Yesterday, when it was below thirty with light snow in Delaware, the bumper warnings lights and bleepers kept firing off every time that I would slow down. I am assuming that some snow or ice was blocking the scanners, and so just filed this under the category of "it will take care of itself" (when things warm up a bit).

The only problem is if you put damper in the search bar there's so many results it would take weeks to find what you're looking for. ?
Dave, as moderator, you should do some investigation to figure out who caused that problem and ban them from this forum.

Al, If I did that then there'd only be about 20 members left on here. ?

Same thing happens to mine. I called DeeZee and they gave me a new one... I think it just needs some lube/oil.
See now that's service! ?

But it's most likely not the damper but the tailgate hinges. If it sounds like a creaky old door or Steve's @Grumpaw back when he stands up, just spray a couple shots of lube in them and it'll go away. With all the dust here mine will do that on occasion especially right after it rains.

So do we need a passport to make the most of this giveaway or are we talking about a different aisle?
Darn auto correct gets me every time. ? But seeing as it's RP it would be best if it were his own isle.?

I support a 72 hour R5G time-out just for backing out of his snorkel install. Give him a little time to think about what's he has done. :oops:
I agree Jay! Sid, sorry buddy you're in time out for 72 hours. But at least I got you a bench so you can lay down. ?
