Clay bar can take off over spray if it is light if not contact a good detail person and have them do a little paint correction as long as it is not deep scratches it can be fixed with out repainting.

the abs on the 01's is problematic..you will end up eventually with the abs and brake lights on dash....then you will have to replace the abs sensor....normal

I would just drive it and enjoy it :)

yeah they will go again...just a normal defect with these trucks..along with the DRL bulbs that constantly burn out (melt sockets)....

these trucks can be brought to any good ASE mechanic
