Is there something I am missing? (Front Suspension Clunking)
I don’t like when solutions aren’t posted so here is what fixed my truck. The replaced sway bar link on the driver side was defective. Until it wore down a bit more, I couldn’t figure it out. I replaced every single piece on the suspension, so I was super upset that it sounded so rough on...- SMichaelG2

A switch next to pedal adjustment I don´t know???
That could be anything, but from the fact that it has an LED on it, I would surprised if it was the alarm system. Probably a sub relay cut out or extra lighting somewhere. That is completely guesses though, as the switch is aftermarket. Chase the wires backwards as stated earlier. Also, if...- SMichaelG2

Loud knock,No Power,No oil pressure
Sounds like you threw a bearing and possibly a rod. A bearing wouldn't account for the loss of power unless it caused serious damage when it went. It needs to have the oil pan pulled to confirm what is broken, and to identify the metal parts and shavings in the pan. Wish I could give you a...- SMichaelG2

AC Pressures within spec but not cooling sufficiently. :-(
Does it get cold at first, then gets warm? Could be the heater core valve staying open. I would feel the return line from the evaporator and see if it is cold. You also could have a faulty expansion valve. Are both ACs running hot?- SMichaelG2

Recommended a/c compressor
There is no way to adequately flush our condensers. If you ever had debris in the system, you have some in the condenser, no matter how many times you flush. These systems have no filter to keep debris out of the compressor and it will kill any and all compressors you install.- SMichaelG2

Recommended a/c compressor
On these vehicles, you must REPLACE both expansion valves, the drier, and the condenser. Rock Auto has these for cheap! I paid less than $150 for all three of those. Take apart the system and flush everything out. You should break down any joint in the system and use a flush tool with...- SMichaelG2

Brake pedal travel
Few things to consider: 1) Have someone pump the brakes to watch the flexible brakes lines at each wheel to see if you possible have a bulging brake line 2) Call a few shops to see if they can perform an ABS bleed. If air gets into the ABS module, and that is very likely when replacing the...- SMichaelG2

What the Heck is going on?
I would look up the wiring diagrams and see if all those things have a common ground. Ground connections easily can cause the problem you are describing, so either go spend an hour digging through the diagrams looking for one in common, or go tighten every ground connection you can find under...- SMichaelG2
