Well I didn't get anything done on the brakes, but I did get all of the ground issues on the marker lights resolved.
In a moment of pure insanity....I put my 2500HD up for sale, only after purchasing another DD. I have always been a big fan of "sport" pickups...think SS454, Lightning, GMT800 SS, etc. In my search for a GMC 1500 2wd crew cab to build into a potent sport pickup, I ran across something a little more recent that caught my eye. So this arrived today, FX2 Sport package with 5.0L Coyote power...it has the same hp/tq rating as my 6.0L had in the 2500HD, in a lighter package. So far...and I hate to admit it...I'm pleased. Not my first Ford, but definitely the first one in a while.
