Well, got it back on the ground and it started creaking and groaning horrifically. Apparently the time in the air exposed a dried out balljoint. I greased the outer balljoints - you can at least gain time by removing the boot clip and injecting grease.

I’ll have to go back and address this when parts come in. Kind of disappointing for around 15,000 miles on lemfoerder parts.

Lost all dash back-lighting, turn signals and hazards. No driving lights or high beams, but headlights come on no matter switch position when key is in run position.....

Also a very unhelpful code.

I'm hoping it's not the LCM but a short in headlight switch with a blown fuse.

Somedays I hate going to work at 0400

Yep. I’ve prayed a few times hoping it didn’t come to that.

Just took mine over for a Texas vehicle inspection. It passed without issue other than the inspector couldn't drive stick to move it into the testing bay. Once I got home I renewed registration online for another year, so all good until something else fails!

Guys found this tool at Harbor Freight - looks like a must-have tool for the DIYer.
