'24 AVS questions

I have owned the truck for 2 days and put about a 150 miles on it, so not a lot of time but have an AVS questions for those that have it. It appears the rear end is very soft, often times going down the freeway and will hit the bumpstops or bottom out the suspension? I have put the AVS in Hi and that fixes it, but appears to do this in any other setting. Anyone else encountered this?

 

Do this, it fixed the issue for me:

The high/low settings are only for slow speeds. Once you get above a certain speed (forget what it is), the height gets adjusted back to the default setting. Adjusting that sensor bracket will change the default. I cranked mine all the way up and noticed a significant difference in the ride.

 

don't start tinkering with a new truck, take it back to the dealer, its under warranty

 

There is a TSB for this exact issue. The dealership can make the adjustment on both sides. I think they also adjust something with the headlights if it is needed.

 

Awesome to hear the 24s are still leaving both the factory, and the final dealer prep phase with poorly adjusted rear AVS. I get the factory, as it may be a shipping thing to leave the rear adjusted low, but how are the dealers not doing this prior to delivery.

 

We can't rule out something going sideways during transportation, delivery, or even customer use. It would be nice if dealerships added this to their PDI. At least the fix is straightforward for them to fix under warranty

 

You guys are giving dealerships way too much credit. They will always do the least amount of labor and coming off of the 3 year run they just had, they don't care. They now can get paid labor I assume to run it through the shop. Frustrating to me though is I have to take a brand new truck back.

 

I completely understand, believe me. It is frustrating.

 

If the roads are bad enough it will hit the bump stops on comfort. I took care of my own and made the needed adjustments and it sits correctly now and adjusted the headlamps too.

Comfort is very soft and can cause the rear end to move alot.
Mostlikely yours is ok being a 24 my.

Yeah you could take it to the dealer, but to me it’s either spending 5 minutes performing a very simple adjustment at the comfort of my house OR driving to the dealer 30min one way, wasting my time explaining the issue, waiting multiple hours for the techs to get to my truck etc etc…

why bother? If you’re not comfortable doing it, that’s another thing but this is likely the easiest mechanical task one can possibly do.

And yes, it’s ridiculous that trucks are coming out with such a glaring flaw out of the factory to this day.
