Anyone who does that kind of work should be shot. Unless they are working on a garden hose...then a slap is sufficient.

Wait till you see MC work...
Malleus
Far west of Siegen
...someone went to the hardware store instead of going to the parts counter because they wanted to be rid of the truck and the correct hardware wasn't in stock.Happy to report - fix to ABS module worked indeed! Really happy about that, no lights and module communicates in Techstream.
Replaced and installed correct brake line with correct clamp(s)
Replaced MC, all proper hardware.
Speaking of hardware... Common theme through the truck - 13mm hardware. I think I removed all of it by now, maybe this is what causing all this lack of luck stuff
I mean, 3 12mm and 1 13mm nut on MC cylinder. I didn't notice, and it drove me crazy for 5 minutes trying to get my socket on and work it under there)
Parking brakes R&R - all works great.
MC works great. Brakes are good, I think better then before.

Small update. 200k miles clocked this weekend. Another oil change. Everything (almost) seem to be OK-ish with a truck.
Issues that start piling up. Not new, but didn't fix them initially and "nice if it was good" from high to low priority
1. Suspension. Shocks and good springs/original torsion bars. Adjusting. Ride is OK-ish but truck looks tilted, pulls to left on highway. Needs adjustment, but after overhaul. Lazily monitoring for used LC torsion bars. Still don't have definite answer on PN for rear springs (same size, different l/r?)
2. Driver seat heating non-op. I did "fix" wiring when I did upholstery but still not working. Will be fixed in couple month when it get's warmer.
3. Heat/HVAC. Something wrong, not blowing hot enough air in cabin. Overall not very quick to warm up. Will be fixed in couple month when it get's warmer.
4. Seat memory not working
5. Dent on fender
6. Wind noise on passenger side, probably my fault (windshield install) but looks good so I am not sure what it is.. Maybe related to heat/cold air on that side?
