It appears that my steering rack, steering column shaft, and various and sundry steering issues like turn signal not canceling out after turning, steering position sensor freaking out, and a few other things are sorted out. Two racks, one defective, a new steering column shaft, and 5 alignments and countless resets of the Christmas Tree Lights on the dash and I'm about to go back in service. Memorial Day Weekend brought delivery time frame nightmares from every parts source, dealer and aftermarket alike. Trying to get in to a very booked-up alignment guy didn't help matters.
To add a little adventure to the mix, I'm currently at the Walmart in Paducah, yet Fleetvision is thoroughly convinced I'm in Avondale (Louisville), KY. Not even close. I'm thinking there's a glitch somewhere, because as I traveled back and forth 3 times between Benton (the dealer) and Paducah (alignment guy) it would show me passing through Avondale.
