well i found a guy about 45 miles down dirt roads that went to school for diesel mech and has a snapon scanner and he said he'd come scan it and tell me whats wrong for $40!! he has experience on LB7s he said he would be out in the next few days so maybe we are nearing the end of this long long road thats been full of ruts and deep holes.........

the chrome was chipping off the grill pretty bad so i pulled it out to paint it and found both headlight housings and parking light housings were cracked and filled with water so i ordered new ones my dad also ordered me a set of powered heated tow mirrors as he was worried about viability with the dually fenders
