Guess I'm justified to buy new 10mm sockets.

Have you seen the deletion items on the 2022 Chevy Colorado? I assume not!

So no light anymore for the floor shifter? I remember the blue light but no orange indicator for it

Were yours super loose? Like finger tight?

I’m really not sure Chris - all those items are a direct copy and paste from a wiki @AzScorpion started a few weeks back. I was just having fun with it. ?

No, but they weren’t on there tight by any means. Couple of ft lbs max. I think maybe they’re trying to avoid crushing the liner material.

I thought someone had taken them out and forgot to put a wrench on them. Brand new 50 miles on it.

I don't see them seeing much vibration or stress, so a few ft lbs is probably more than adequate.

I reinstalled them with just a tiny bit more force than when I removed, but being mindful not to crush the liner material. If I had to guess, the Ford tech that may end up doing it in the future will not be so gentle...
