    Driving over to my Son's house to pick up the house keys, watching the beasties. Found out my front lights had gone out, headlights, and marker lights. Damnit!
    Today I tore the truck apart to run the harness, y'know, 6 elements go out it's gotta be an electrical issue. RIGHT?
    After a couple of hours, a knoton my forehead and some greasy bloody knuckles I found the problem. All light elements had burned or broken. Absolutely unheard of!

    Replacing the lights tomorrow.

    Funny thing.

    Damn, that’s gotta be some kind of record. Stay away from me bud, you’re baaaad luck, lol.
    That is funny though and strangely enough 3 days ago there was a guy on another forum just asking about a headlight problem because both of his went out. He thought someone messed with his truck or he had some kind of electrical issue, and most who replied agreed and tossed out things to check. I told him to check the bulbs, both were burned.

    New lights, no problems. Gave me the chance to order new clips for the grill as well. I can see! That pesky rattle is gone as well!
