Guys -
I don't think these are 80Con dealbreakers, but give me the 411 on these two issues, if you'd please:
1.) I seem to have developed an ABS problem. Happened after pulling everything apart to re-gear the truck. I figure I must have messed up a front sensor when playing around in the knuckle. Anyway, here's what happens now. Start the truck, ABS light comes on, does its check, goes out. Then, the first time I hit the brake, it comes on and stays on. Drives and brakes fine, and I know how to cadence brake, so I'm not too concerned about not having ABS until after 80Con. I checked all three lockers and they work fine, so no problems there (I was worried the ABS system might hinder Center Difflock actuation, but it's fine). However, every once in a while, with no discernable pattern, I'll hit the brakes and the truck will swerve quickly to the right, which seems to me that the left front caliper is not grabbing the disk. Then I'll feel the pedal pulse (like, well, ABS actuation) and then it straightens out and drives and brakes fine. Quite disturbing when it happens, but it only happened maybe two or three times today. Drove fine yesterday, but today, the problem just started up. I've made no changes between then and now. Any ideas?
2.) My steering wheel is cocked by about 1/8. It's bad enough that the right turn signal almost doesn't engage because the wheel is cocked over so far. I still get the full 3.5 turns lock-to-lock. By my eyeball I can get ~1 7/8 turns to the right and ~1 5/8 turns to the left. It happened when I put on the 6" lift. At one point, up on stands, something slipped and the two front wheels turned violently to one side. Since then, the steering wheel has been cocked. I know sometimes people will hit rocks and knock it out a little bit, but this much seems like a lot. Did I twist something or shear gear teeth somewhere?
BTW, I have an appointment at Folsom Toyota for both problems tomorrow morning. They are both safety issues that I want to have addressed ASAP.
TIA,
