So I was reading and I can take off the lower cross member to take off the oil pan. Do you still have to hold the motor up? I am just trying all the facts before I get into it.

Yeah, you want to hold the motor/tranny, and the sub frame drops out the bottom enough to get to the pan. Also the P/S pump/ alternator have to come loose and the bracket removed and the A/C pump and the bracket need to move out of the way.

How do you get the door chimes and the alarm on for when you leave your headlights to work. And also what does it mean when I am doing 40 mile per hr and hit the brakes the front end shakes.

Auto leveling is identified by visually inspecting the rear shocks, look for a hydraulic line coming from the shocks to a black accumulator, if there you have self leveling.

The question about the front end shake is you need to replace the thrust arm bushings, and the rear shocks can be swapped out for non self leveling, call (619)444-2290 for the replacements, talk to John or Sean. The hoses going from the accumulators to the shocks get plugged because you cannot remove the hydraulic part, you just abandon it in place. The reason is the power steering pump is a tandem pump, part of it runs the power steering, part of it runs the self leveling, and I just cap it off at the "bomb" (accumulator)

The brake issue will require replacement of the brake light switch. The tool for the front arms is commercially available. Baum tool or Hazet should be able to supply the need, or Snap-on for too much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
