installed a new rear body wiring harness, along with new tail light and backup light assemblies. while I was at it, I figured i would actually make the turn signals work, so I tore apart the steering column...

... while i was at it.... also figured since I was in there, I might as well replace the guts of the steering column. SO... I have functioning lights in the rear, turn signals that work, and actually cancel themselves, and the new inner workings of the steering column make it feel like a new truck! shifter is more responsive, (not as sloppy), oh, and I mounted the wheel straight! now I just have to find new "natural" spots for my hands.

Its amazing how all those little things really added up to a better, more reliable driver.
