first stop brakes buz and lights come on, then brakes fine after but with lights and codes. i guess ill check the wiring on chassis next time its on the lift.
should be ready for a sticker after 3 days of driving around. ill have to check monitors, and if thats an issue and just turn them off with a fresh hot rod tune lol

MIL brake lights, says passenger side wheel speed sensor. i think i have that in stock, and already changed the driver side.
more miles today running around, seems like a solid little truck.

I went around and around and around on this thing feeling wheel bearings and brakes and couldn't find anything that matched how bad it was. Finally I caught the shiny sidewall of the tire right in the light and remebered the 4" long strip of fender that I ripped off when I got out of the car at home 🙄
so dumb.
still starting to car shop anyway. that's a proven lack of faith. so I'll drive it to Ithaca tomorrow for a conference 👍

That replaced a clatter that sounded like a bad belt pulley bearing over the course of about 10 miles while I was considering turning around and going back home.
these are fatal noises. really cool sounding fatal noises.
Don't have any functional turbos on the shelf. Just 2-3 that need remanufacturing of some flavor with stuck vanes or lots of shaft play
