Fixed two annoying dings at start up. Two sets of LEDs caused CAN Bus errors. Finally, a third set advertised as CAN BUS free error LEDs worked perfectly. On installation, the red wire end needs to go on the right. Black on the left. The sets have to be turned correctly to mount too. The insert tab on one side is offset. This new set fit better than the one that failed. Even better than the two new ones that set CAN BUS errors.

I love how replacement LED lamps, installed to fix an issue you didn't really have in the first place, create more problems!

The first set lasted three years with no CAN BUS error. A power wire became unsoldered. I couldn't remember where I bought the original set. CAN BUS errors will drive you nuts.
 These new set fit nice and snug.In Austin traffic, any attention you can get will avoid someone smacking into you!

Summer tires are now on, so it will snow in detroit next week.
tiny click in the front end heard at slow speed pulling in a driveway or parking lot IDd, drivers side inner tie rod end, both inners will get replaced soon. Vibration at 60mph +/-5mph has probably been IDd too.... freaking drivers CV AGAIN.... I just replaced the original replacement that didnt last a year, this one is less than a year.... they are lifetime warranty, but I expect them to last longer than that....

Changed the engine air filter after 4 years / ~6k miles.
Checked the coolant, ps fluid and oil. Added a small amount of coolant. Changed my ancient Kensington LiquidAux Bluetooth adapter for a new one with Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC support from Ugreen.  7 miles on the odometer since the oil change on March 31... a trip to the park and back:

Decided at the last minute to use the 4.6 for a scheduled weekend out. So took care of some last minute PMS stuff.
Had the transmission fluid and filter changed, used ZF Lifeguard 5. Pricey for a non-synthetic but no equivalents so oh well. Had the brake fluid done while on the stands. Flushed and filled with Ate Typ 200. Had some front suspension noise traced to the steering column lower joint. Another item I'd been putting off as it isnt inexpensive but another good one to do on the stands. Glad I did, no more noise makes it so much more fun! Engine oil, coolant, front/rear diffs, transfer case, and tires all done recently. Ready and looking forward to this trip!
