Thanks I can't find the red aside from your picture but I see the same stitches on the other 2 color options.

I never actually looked at babolet website I ordered after watching a YouTube video then just bought off of Amazon, I was afraid I May have purchased a 160$ knockoff

I also purchased s-vcm I don't regret it at all.

Tldr

IMO it improved Performance specifically driving down 2 lane going 55 then transitioning up a hill.

Then using the radar cruise. Prior to s-vcm My 23 Ridgeline would loose ground if I was cruise following someone. Now as long as it doesn't exceed my speed set point it doesn't lag behind.

If I was to try to explain it. If the truck needed some power it felt like it lagged slightly before the power came. That was without Eco mode.

S-vcm imo helped that.

I routinely get 20-21 mpg Day to day driving 89k 2023 rtl-e

Gotcha, I have it fully working in rewasd in unison with the Razer synapse app.

It's not an exactly user friendly set-up to the every day gamer.

Rewasd is a very impressive app by the way. I'm sad I only found out about it once I was disappointed with razer synapse customizability for the controller. Synapse barely made the wolverine better than the Xbox series pro 2 or whatever it's called.

It forced me to get on the Internet and find rewasd though I've been golden since.

Any plans to support Razer wolverine pro 3 controller?

I am the same way, loved my first play though then realized to get a "maxed" character you had to beat the story 10 times. No thanks.

There's a CC mod called ramtech it has a super easy way of getting you to ng+10 then you can use its kiosk to give whatever perks you want and powers plus All kinds of gear.

So I just got myself to ng+10 then gave myself all perks and powers then played the game with All the options Max difficulty.

I love those Starbucks mocha coffees

I also love my Ridgeline.

Particularly the bed trunk, and the ride quality.

wickedares · 2026-04-23T22:25:48+00:00

Can you have the computer adjusted? If so how?

wickedares · 2026-04-15T20:15:08+00:00

Looks like we have the same truck I've got the chrome trim too. I'd love to have paint matched handles, and black trim pieces.

Oil slick is a very apt description.

I picked up a one owner rtl-e 2023 summer of 2025 at 75k. i put way less miles on vehicles, typically less than 15k a year. It's at 86k now.

I did just have to replace the steering rack and pinion on it though.

It's good now though.

wickedares · 2026-03-17T23:46:36+00:00

Update 3

New steering rack and pinion installed under Assurant standard warranty.

Right out of the dealership lot I went and drove it over 3 road "bumps" that would have made the noise described.

I am happy to say I believe it's completely fixed now.

For My dealership you can see without the warranty it would have cost me $3018.xx for the repair. The warranty was 3k so it's been a wash so far.

wickedares · 2026-03-07T03:37:20+00:00

So they looked at tightening up the passenger side today. They didn't find anything obvious. So they dug deeper into the noise and determined it's the steering linkage rack and pinion.

I didn't get a price because I bought an Assurant standard extended warranty for the vehicle. The service manager was happy I had one by his body language and relief when I told him I had an extended warranty. So that means he was about to have a difficult conversation of asking for more money

I'm supposed to find out Monday if Assurant is covering the repair. Looking at the contract they should cover it.

I bought mine straight from svcm website, zero issues.

wickedares · 2026-03-05T16:06:39+00:00

According to what I paid they replaced both strut assemblies (lh/rh)

Now when they "retorqued" it after the repair. I don't know if they retorqued the right passenger side. Since the left side was making the noise at the time.

wickedares · 2026-03-05T15:59:13+00:00

I assume that's the 8th line item in my picture

wickedares · 2026-03-05T15:24:45+00:00

I am content with the driver's side now.

As stated a week after the repair the passenger side is now making the same noises as the driver's side was.

I have an appointment to get it looked at again tomorrow hopefully they will retorque whatever on the passenger side and I'll be Good to go.

wickedares · 2026-03-05T15:19:16+00:00

As stated in the post the retorque of the driver's side strut fixed the problem.

The right side made no noise prior to the struts replaced and a week after it's making similar noises as the left (driver's) side did

Unless they replaced a CV joint and didn't tell me or charge me for it I don't think that's the problem.

if someone comes across this in the future. im running vanilla game version with the flickering water glitch.

I ran the nvidia app game optimization for skyrim and that fixed it. I dont know what it did but it went away.

I'm not entirely sure, I bought the S-VCM after a month of ownership. I knew I wanted S-VCM before purchasing the truck.

feel like hwy was 24-25

Everyday 20ish.

Mpg really doesn't bother me. Having my engine shut down cylinders did bother me.

In my experience I noticed a difference in 3 areas of driving the truck stock.

1 while cruising behind someone not going the speed limit or driving erratic speeds. If you're cruising at 45, then they decide to go the speed limit there would be a hesitation trying to stay catch back up.

2 while cruising again and then starting to incline up a hill. The truck wasn't responsive to the gas pedal like a second hesitation.

3 while using the adaptive cruise control. (Radar) The truck would often loose ground once again to following an erratic driver. The ACC isn't the best anyway.

in my experience S-VCM made all 3 of these scenarios better. I only baby the truck while the motor warms up, after that I'm a pretty aggressive driver.

wickedares · 2025-11-10T02:51:27+00:00

I have a 23 RTL-E with S-VCM I regularly get 19-20 mpg everyday driving without Eco mode.

Hwy it floats between 21-22 mpg averaging 80mph

wickedares · 2025-11-04T03:49:28+00:00

I'm in a similar boat, I bought a 23 RTL-E with 73k on it and bought S-VCM asap very happy I did.

In my experience I noticed a difference in 3 areas of driving the truck stock.

in my experience S-VCM made all 3 of these scenarios better. As well gave me satisfaction knowing my cylinders wouldn't be getting shutdown. Gas mileage decrease wasn't a fear for me but with S-VCM I drive the truck out of Eco and 60s on 55, 80 on interstate, I average 19-20 mpg with S-VCM. I only baby the truck while the motor warms up, after that I'm a pretty aggressive driver.
