Locked...

    4 wheel alignment

    Not to jack his thread but I have an additional question.... Placing the truck into access mode is not the same as an "actual alignment setting" for the air suspension? I let Firestone try it last year, but the dealership told me 3 months later, it was still out of alignment on the left...

    rear view mirrors

    you can check in your owners manual, the settings can be changed using the stalks on the steering column. I would believe you enter the settings menu and adjust from their. I had the same thing when I bought my Landy...they dont shift down when i reverse any longer Good luck.
