Default 98 ZJ Minor Issues

Just looking for some advice on some minor but annoying issues with my 98 5.9 Limited.

Its living in Groundhog day. Every morning when I get in it, the overhead console is reset. Miles, Econ, Timer, Compass, everything. Its fine all day, but by next morning, its reset again. - Any Ideas?

Annoying squeaks from front end. I did have another post about this. Sounds like a WWII era tank rolling down the road. Will do it stationary or moving, and even the tiniest movement will make noise. - Primary suspect is sway bar bushings (which i haven't had a chance to investigate yet) or possibly control arm bushings?

Radio display will randomly start dimming until it is unreadable. A sharp tap will sometimes bring it back.

IS GL5 (80w90) perfectly 100% ok in a D44a w/ LSD? Have seen conflicting reports on this. I do no offroad or towing.

Thanks!

Make sure the gear oil has the LSD friction modifier if its got a LSD rear. Not all do.

Idk on the rest, sorry.

The squeaking could be anything in the front.
