That it is. Already had the yaw sensor give up the ghost, now the transfer case actuator....I guess I should just go ahead and replace the steering angle sensor and sleep a little better at night.

Now, about those valvestem seals....

Took Red out for a long drive with the wife. We had fun tooling around the South Texas hill country.

Installed some used genuine schnitzer pedals I got from a friend a few years ago when he swapped to a manual that were meant for my e38. They had some east coast corrosion from the winter seasons. I used a bench grinder with a wire brush to clean them up and a little metal polish. I even wire brushed the heads on the hardware. They're not perfect but I'm happy with the way they came out...Name:  20200614_160614.jpg

Thank you. I like your pedals. Wanted a set of real ones for a long time but since the truck has so much Dinan gear on it I decided I should use their pedals too.

I'll get some ACS ones on another vehicle. Maybe the E61.
