    Was changing out my clutch this weekend and snagged a wire while dropping down the transmission and transfer case. Need some help determining this sensor. Looks to be a transfer case position sensor.

    How do I go about doing a fuel pressure test?

    Fuel pressure testing kit that includes a tee and tee into the line where it goes into the fuel rail. Pretty straight forward, watch out for brittle lines though.

    Nice, is that a rentable item at the parts store?

    I think so, most of the kits will have the Schrader valve type attachment which unfortunately our trucks don't have so make sure it has a tee with a length of hose included. Also obviously don't cut your fuel line to put the tee in, detach it from the rail and use the included line to go from the tee back to the rail. As long as you have it hooked up right and secure you can even drive around a tiny bit to see if it fluctuates a lot or falls on its face under certain conditions.

    I had In and Out Burger once after hearing about all the hype.

    Lived up to its name, that's for sure.

    Suddenly didn't want to shift from L2 to D and throwing P0705 code. Looks like it was a corroded PRNDL connector on the side of the transmission. Cleaned connector and all better.

    As for the lock, the write up you're referring to was posted by @Blackdawg and it outlines taking the door panel off and spraying the linkage with a lubricator. Pretty simple tbh.

    And unrelated, but my passenger door is next to impossible to unlock from the inside (manual locks) and I remember someone posted a write up to fix that somewhat recently but couldn't find it. Any help?
