Thx for the input, I greatly appreciate it. I'm going back this week some time. If it's bad, he'll def make good on it. I'm handy to a certain degree, but ohm'ing wires, and the technical stuff, I'm lost in the sauce. I'd rather do things myself, not only to do it myself to make sure it's done right and making sure nothing breaks, but to also save money. I've tried getting under there to check grounds on the bellhousing, but I can barely fit my big ass under there, especially since I've lowered it! Lol
I'll post any updates as soon as anything happens. Don't get too involved in your honeymoon and forget to check in! :D

Don't sell yourself short. The more you do, the more you know. And I've seen what you've done to this rig. When you've been over and thru every aspect of your rig, any noise, stumble or tick your mind starts analyzing what the possibilities are and what it's gonna take to fix it. It's a gift and a curse. It's a curse because any little click or squeak you tear into it. Only because your not worried about an invoice or estimate. Parts are cheap, at that point your only concern is time.
Hope you can get ahead of it without someone just throwing parts at it. I still think it's in the wiring as in a ground or a connection.

As far as crash sensors, most of the time, I repeat, MOST of the time when a sensor goes bad you can feel the housing and it has a slight bulge to it. It's almost like it's swollen. You can't just unplug one and think it'll work without one in the system. There's a resistor in there and it reads that resistance to know it's there and has connection. Whenever the service air bag light is on, air bags are inop. Hope it's just a sensor and not related to the other issue.

Keep the updates coming.

Just now getting logged in. Havwent been on in a few days. @Tonyrodz , weird that you had issues with the voukes. That's a bummer. Mine have been in since February, both in my lows and the G8s in my highs and neither have given me any issues. Did you figure out what happened to it?

I think it just blew/burned out. Good news tho, the company is sending out a new one, but it's coming from Hong Kong! Supposedly it's gonna take 10 days. We'll see.
They made me do this tho.

After about 4 yrs, my body side mouldings we're looking a little faded after being plastidipped. I can't really complain r, I did get 4 yrs out of it. IMAG3054.jpg IMAG3055.jpg
I had to mask everything off. Had to do it right. IMAG3053.jpg IMAG3057.jpg
I also decided to black out the Chromed Tahoe on each front door. I'd much prefer to have taken them off, but couldn't because the idiot from the body shop pulled them off and painted over the residual double stick tape. So they have to stay. IMAG3061.jpg
I think they came out great.
