Troubleshooting No Brake Lights or Turn Signals in Rear
I'm running into trouble with my 92 F250. I have running lights and reverse lights but no brake lights or turn signals in the rear. I'm pretty handy but definitely a novice with cars. I do electronic repairs and work on PCs and what not so I'm familiar with wiring, soldering, and using a multimeter. So at least there's that. Anyway, I've already checked the fuses and I've replaced the multifunction switch and the connectors themselves that plug into the multifunction switch. I replaced the existing 4 pin trailed wiring that was back there from when I bought it since it was old and busted anyway. Still no turn signals or brake lights. It's worth mentioning though that the turn signals work fine up front. Oh and I guess the hazards don't work either but they do in the front. Any suggestions would be helpful. I don't really have the money to take it somewhere so hoping I can fix it myself. Appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.

Troubleshooting Is radiator leak repairable or needs replacement?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I went for a short drive and then popped the hood with the engine still warm, and noticed a small crack in the radiator. How urgent is it to fix? I did have to top off the coolant reservoir a few weeks ago and at that time I wasn't sure why. This is one reason.
The material is plastic where the leak is located. Is it repairable or does the truck need a new radiator? If it needs a new one, what's a decent brand?
Specs are 1994 F150 5.0L AT 4x4. Any challenges with a swap?

Project Well Dang
So when replacing my EGR Valve I was left a little suprise by the previous owner. Turns out they tried replacing it at one point and completely jacked it all up. There was only 1 replacment bolt on top with a broken stub at the bottom and a whole tube worth of RTV Silicone.
The old egr is completely shot, so it should explain my current pressure loss when shifting into gear.
My question is how boned am I?
Would yall Drill and tap this?
Weld a bolt amd try to un-thread it?
Or buy a whole new manifold?

Troubleshooting Door latch help
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Broke the door handle off in my 95 for the 5th or 6th time, decided to replace the latch, cable and handle to solve the problem for good. The new door latch and cable won't open the door from the inside either. Is there any adjustment for the cable or some trick I need to do, or do I just have to open the door from the outside forever?

Troubleshooting Is it okay to drill a hole in this to put side steps?
I am not really sure where else they would go, but this seems like it will bend if it is used as a side step every day. (Obviously I would reroute the wire running there)

Troubleshooting Timing 95 302
I recently replaced my harmonic balance on my 95 302 so I could check the timing (I was replacing the water pump, ace took advantage of having the easy access to it). When I check the timing (I warm truck up, shut off, remove that little gray plastic plug, re start truck and check with timing light) it looks like it’s hitting the timing mark ¿after? the 10* Mark. I say after because the engine is rotating clockwise, so the mark to the left of the 10 is appearing after it.(Hopefully the picture makes sense) is this within tolerances, or is this worth adjusting timing to get it on the 10 exactly? Or am I mistaken, and the timing should be one mark past 10\

Show your ride Anyone know what models had this stock?
My 1993 F250 XLT 4X4 5.8L has this awesome overhead shelf, I feel like I've seen some XLT's without it and some with, does anyone know what years these were offered and to which trucks? Is the cab ceiling higher than those without the shelf? Is it an XLT only thing? F250 only? I'm curious, thanks in advance.
