My snorkel was making a funny noise this morning on the way home from work. It was whining like it was supper charged.

The X lives! Too dark for pics sorry. I went around the corners 3 times and the brakes still suck. Going to try again after work tomorrow. Need to get an alignment scheduled too. The driveshaft issue will be ok for now.

Unfortunately, I'm going to recommend taking it to the dealer. Have them do a power bleed on the brake system. The ABS on these trucks is notorious for holding air.

Don't tell me that...I didn't do my research before I bled them. I got the sequence right but did not disconnect the battery/disable the ABS so that was probably part of the problem. Has anyone had better luck after disconnecting the batter or is it really just better to have the dealer do it? I have to get it aligned anyways, I guess I could just have them do it all.

Yes. From what I understand, they hook into the ECU and actually use the ABS pump to bleed the system. And so that way it's 100% bled.

I plan on it. That would offset the negatives you experienced right?
Pretty much. Driving those tires on the street was miserable. My business partner put 37/12.50/17 MTRs on his JK Wrangler and after about 3 months got Goodyear to buy them back because they just wouldn't balance. Which isn't a problem for a trail rig. But for a truck that's driven on the street, it's disastrous.
