I'm sure there is a gear in there - but my initial investigation lead me no where. I went to
my Dodge Stealer when I had just recently bought the Ram, and was told by the parts guy pretty
much to go jump... his exact remark was something along the lines of "you'll never be able to
get in and out of the truck if you put those size tires on there" - when I told him what I
wanted to do. I wanted to punch him but decided that wasn't the best option.

Thats when I started looking for electronic options.

This was the same dealer who fixed my busted fog light wire with a crimp butt splice and DUCT
TAPE... and I discovered when it failed again after the warranty was up, and the same dealer
who tried to rip me off when I was shopping for a Civic. (sorry - thats the end of the rant)
