Anybody have any good recommendations on where to find a new hood? Preferably with scoop?

I was out driving way past my bed time and ended up falling asleep at the wheel. Put it in a ditch.

Its not too bad, just have to pull the one inner fender out, do a Little fiberglass work on the passenger side fiberglass fender. I plan on re working the bumper a bit. Probably not going to replace the grill, just going to extend the bumper up to replace the grill, kinda like the Arctic trucks.

The first time, it just wanted it's belly scratched and to be paid off. The second time it wanted to look like a pug. And it was close...

Hah! I love 3d printers and TPU filament. Put some camburg uca's on the ol' bird, but didn't like having the top of the ball joint exposed. So: I present ball covers. They will just be ziptied on. They aren't a perfect seal, but it's still a ton better than being left wide open

Haven't cycled them yet, so I don't know if they will hit the coil bucket yet. But it's worth a shot!

So here's and interesting situation, I took my truck in to get it aligned, while I was there I had the mechanic do a quick obd scan of the abs system, and it came back as unable to read anything, and my speedometer quit working. I just used my GPS for my speedometer to get back up to work.

I then used the shops snapon scanner to read the codes to see what was wrong. Then after I got the codes i went ahead and cleared them to see what would come back up. Only one code came back, but now my speedometer works just fine.

Is there any chance that the alignment shop could have possibly disabled something to try to weasel me into having to buy more parts for the truck?

It went from pretty much every sensor being at fault. To only the right front speed sensor being faulty after clearing the codes.

What do I look for with a meter on the wheel speed sensor? Everything looks physically ok, but how do I check the sensor itself?

And if I just happen to have an oscilloscope laying around... What would I be looking for signal wise? Or would I be able to put a meter on the sensor and watch for any kind of a pulse on ac or dc?
