    Trunk alignment is loose
    Creaking noise from the front end of the car
    Driver's side window works erratically
    Passenger side window makes a clicking noise after it reaches the top
    Hood release cable is shot
    Wipers stopped working
    Heater/AC Fan does not work on any level
    Erratic battery drain
    Driver's side light dome does not turn on but works when the door is open
    Driver's side rear window trim flew off on the highway

    There's more I'm sure... :)

    Broke a rocker arm, and a chunk of it got smashed into the head by the cam, leaving a good size hole in the water jacket. FML

    lol that's fucked up

    right now one of my half shafts are leaking black grease onto my trailing arm and wheel. the shitty thing is I've already switched one out and this one is doing the same thing lol

    Only the front passenger side speakers work.

    Rattling from the front left wheel well area.

    Would love to get this all sorted put before the Leavenworth drive.

    --trunk is leaking and filling up the well on the left when it rains
    --standing water on the floor behind passenger seat (connected to the truck leak? who knows?)

    --weak power occasionally (low dash lights, radio intermittently works, engine runs a little rough, windows rolling and wipers slow to a crawl) for 20 minutes or so upon start-up
    --slow coolant leak

    Lost engine compression while on a drive. FML. Hopefully have time to pull the head and inspect for carnage tomorrow, but might not be able to get around to it for a few days. Top end is rebuilt, thinking the bottom end might have given out.

    ^ Mine did that the other day. One of the tabs holding the floating ring onto the sensor stalk had snapped so the float slipped off.

    Brake hardline blew out, I said fuck this shit and cut out all the old lines and replaced all the hardlines and replaced all the rubber ones with stainless, I ripped the ABS bullshit out, and made all my own lines, then i replaced clutch line with a stainless, the clutch slave bleeder broke so i hit Blunt up for a new slave. while i was there, Now im at the point of dropping the rear subframe to yank out the rear brake hardlines, and well while im there, ill change out all the rear bushings and install an lsd!,, Hands r gonna get dirty , woooo hooo!,

    Try your brake switch. Just replaced mine after 20 years.
