took it around the block and speedo works so i am pretty happy, i may need a pulse modifier to keep the abs happy. i will clear the codes and see what comes back. pedal assembly is working great and no issues with brake and throttle being close.

Driving under its own power... Nice job! Glad the brakes work. They're a secondary consideration, but nice to have lol.

How much do you have left to complete before you can go camping?

hey Scott can you tell me the taillight configuration is the top signal in the amber, middle clearance and brake in the red, bottom reverse?

Amber AND red flash when turn signal or hazards are on. Red is running light, and goes bright for brake. White is reverse. Is that what you mean? They're wired like trailer lights. So if the brake pedal is pushed and the turn signal is on, the whole thing flashes. A bit dumb. Here is my lens. It's from an Aerostar.
