You could also try installing the Roadmaster Active Suspension system. I installed it along with larger front sway bar, rear sway bar, Bilstein HD shocks, urethane bushings and the truck handles like a sport truck flat and controlled.

You could try the Magnaflow. I've had it installed along with the Random Technology stainless y pipe since 2003 sound is good with no drone.

I removed the damper from my transfer case within the first year after I bought my S-T. That was the only one on my vehicle when I purchased from the dealer in May of 2000. Didn't notice any harsh vibrations or change in how it drove.

That would appear to be a damper. Metal outer with sandwiched rubber. They are attached to the axles, transfer case etc. where ever there is a need to control vibrations especially in the drive line.

Have had the MB Quart Reference speakers running through an Alpine 4 channel amp for a few years and like the sound. John

Great analysis. Scientific method, lab testing for any of these products is the only way to get reliable data on product usefullness. I have used fuel treatments such as Red Line SI in my gas vehicles more geared for higher detergency and lubricity. I also use diesel fuel treatment for my...

In my 2001 Job 1 speaker size is 6 x 8. I would think speakers in your 2003 are the same size. I have MB Quart Reference models in mine and they sound great. I'm running an Alpine CDA-9886 with an Alpine PDX-4.150 amp, Monster cables. The system is clean sounding and balanced. The MB Quart...
