hi all
I just bought a new truck, f150 ecoboost super cab 6 foot box, and had a local mechanic install a fifth when I went to pick it up found that the guy installed it 4 inches back from where the directions called for,

have you hooked'um up for a test drive .... doing so could easily provide you with some reliable info as to how they work together .... if it doesn't behave, it most certainly needs to be fixed .... if it does, the advice to call the manufacture for technical help is still valid and may help you determine if there are any long term implications
