So that red adjustment nut is actually 2 separate nuts. One acts as a lock nut and other sets the servo saver spring pressure. Some people say they are able to adjust it without removing it from the truck. My fingers were to big so I has to disconnect everything and take it out of the truck to make the adjustment.

To tighten the servo saver while it is still in the truck:
  • Flip the truck upside down
  • Loosen the upper red nut by turning it counter clockwise, this is the lock nut and needs to be loosed enough so that the 2nd nut spins freely.
  • Tighten the lower red nut by turning it clockwise. How tight you make it depends on how tight you want your servo saver to be.
  • Tighten the upper red nut by turning it clockwise until it is snug against the lower nut.
As I said doing this while the servo saver is in the truck is difficult and tedious. It is also rather difficult to really test how tight it is set while it is still in the truck. It is a bit of extra work to take it out of the truck, but for me it was worth it to take the extra time so that I could verify how tight it was really set and not brake anything else while I was trying to adjust the red nuts through the skid plate.
