Yep, I got one there. Same place too, under the driver's side corner of the radiator. I'll try the pin this afternoon. Anything special you're supposed to do as part of the "reset" or just push it in and then drive around a bit?

I didn't bleed the rears because the m/c was full and nothing leaked (plus I was working alone yesterday). If I get time today I'll try that, they're calling for 8-12" of snow tonight so if I don't get it done tonight it might be a while before I feel like laying under the truck again.

I did do the usually forward/reverse hard braking mostly to see if the brakes would adjust themselves a bit tighter than I did manually.
