So, I tried putting my original cruise buttons on with the new wiring harness and it works 100%.

700 miles covered.  CEL came on as I pulled in my driveway.  Oxy sensor 2 slow response and EVAP.  Both have came and went before.  I have oxy sensors and purge valve in stock.

One O2 rounded off.  Had it moving 3/4 of a turn then it rounds off.  >:(

Gotta be careful on those, the carbon buildup on the threads often makes them a fight all the way out:(

Should have just cut off and used a reg socket.  I'll try that with the second one.  I used a O2 socket with a hose clamp around.  And heat of course and been hitting it with PB for 5 days.

Just crawled back under the truck and both O2s came right out no problem.  Weird, must be messing with them last time allowed some penetrating oil to get in there.

CELs off by themselves.  Returning from Lake Placid I had to do a detour just south of Speculator which is basically one road surrounded by Wilderness Area.  It added almost an hour and dumped us out on 90 in Herkimer.  Cruise, that has been working fine, stopped working completely as soon as we got on ::).

New clock spring installed, no change, still intermittent.  Cruise came back, I'm assuming, cause battery disconnect/reconnect.  This is the end of the road I guess.  It'll work or it wont...

Retrieved from storage.  It's suffered a rear marker light and windshield washer pump.  Picked up a brush guard on FBM a couple weeks ago.  Heading to Raystown lake, PA next week for MTB festival.

I want happy with commercially available flares.  Tried making my own with some garden edging.  I think it looks alright, should do the job anyways.  We’ll see how they hold up.

600 miles to PA and back. Two stops at the Turkey Ranch. 

Cruise worked fine on the way there, not at all on the way home. Going in for inspection next week, I'll have them look at it...

Transmission continues to suck. Up a steep hill its 5k rpm, to 3k for 5 seconds, to 2.5k until it looses all momentum, repeat. OD locked out. I have 1,2, D on the stalk with a OD lockout button, so I can't do manual 3rd.  Seems like its missing a gear...

It is suppose to have a 545RFE. It says 554RFE on the trans (I checked twice). That doesn't exist on the internet. Assuming its a 545RFE

Gear Ratios:
1st 3.00:1
2nd 1.67:1
2nd Prime 1.50:1 (Only used when a kickdown acceleration)
3rd 1.00:1
4th 0.75:1
5th 0.67:1 (545RFE only)
Reverse 3.00:1
