You sure you don't want to reconsider and do it in the daylight? It ain't real good driving over here at the moment...

Parking lights came back after countless hours chasing electrical gremlins, disassembling/reassembling the headlight switch 4 times, finally breaking it during the last reassemble, buying a new headlight switch only to find out it was a bad connection on the back side of the "fuse panel"

ALL marker lights are working now (4 hrs. removing/rewiring hacked PO added "trailer wiring")

Wouldn't start after a LONG day of lighting diagnosis, thought the new battery just might have not enough volts left to fire new to rig Duraspark ignition. Well, a battery charger didn't help, even on start mode! Apparently the old Turkey was craving Mexican tonight!!! Freaking thing fired right up after sending a brazillion volts threw my a$$!!! :shock:

I nned a drink*

And, I know who needs to buy you a drink(s)! Lots of them! :-)
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.
