That is very interesting, and commendable, but at the same time, I'm not searching for driving perfection.... my 77 F100 goes through corners fast enough to be dangerous to other road users, but at least when stuff starts to wear it out, any monkey with a box of wrenches can fix it.
I like seeing the development of new technologies, but will never add them into my life just because they're the latest and greatest thing.... The added complexities down the road often offset the benefits, at least for me.

I think its cool but I really dont understand how it works. I dont like putting things on my truck that I dont at least have an idea of how it works, cause of course I am one of those "any monkey with a box of wrenches can fix it." type people

If it's what I think it is, it works like this. The shocks are filled with a liquid that turns solid when a magnetic field is applied to it, i.e. you put a magnet on the shock. The way these work is there is a coil in the shock much like a voice coil in a speaker, it is linked to the computer (which also reads road conditions from the shocks, and other suspension parts), at the right time the computer can either stiffen ir soften the ride depending on road conditions, or driving habits.
