I'm pretty much 98 percent sure that my clock spring is shot. Air bag light comes on once every 10 mins and stay on for 30 seconds then disappear. My turn signals doesn't work anymore. However hazards still work.
Is there anything else I can check or do before I go find another clock spring

Is your Air Bag Control Module still installed under the driver's seat. There's a recall to move it to under the center console. If it's still under the seat the ground for it may be ate up (or the whole ABCM mount is ate up) If it was moved to under the console, the ground wire still goes to the floor pan, which could still be corroded.

Turn signals don't go through the clockspring. Power for the turn signals goes through the Combination Flasher to the Turn Signal/Hazard Switch and is powered from fuse 12 (10A) in the JB - RUN Circuit, and from fuse 20 (15A) in the PDC - BATT Circuit.

Depends on what all you use your rig for and what primary roads you drive on. I'd say 4.10s if you do a lot if highway DD duty. 4.56s if not.

4.10s should be fine with 32s. I'm driving daily with 32s and 3.55s and i like it the way it is. I had 33s before. I daily mine and its on mostly above 40 mph speed limit roads.
