Some of the rollover problems could be attributed not only to Firestone tires but the steering which oversteers, is as sensitive as the power steering in the 1950 7 1960's. suggest you look into this. This vehicle handles very poorly on wet roads and small puddles, it wants to go whereever it feels like. Suggest you look into this. Should also have the extremely high center of gravity looked at closely.

This truck has overdrive problems. When you put it in rev and then drive most times it will cut the overdrive off, but not all the time. Rear passenger door will not open from inside. Airbag light goes on and starts blinking then goes off for a while then back on. The power steering makes noise on a hard right or left turn.
