a couple o' questions

I was muddin' the other day and when i pulled out of the desert my steering wheel was not straight it was turned a little to the left while going straight, any ideas on how to get it back straight, i did not off road it hard, i was pretty easy on it.
Also my p-brake and abs light are on all the time, how can i get them to shut off?
and on the 99' 3500 4x4 drw is the rear end limited slip or not?
Thanks for responses, Kyle

There is an adjusting sleeve on your steering hardware. It should be on the drag link right after the pitman arm comes off the steering box. I put a bright zip tie on the 12 o'clock position on the steering wheel so its easier to tell where it is thru the windshield. It doesn't take much to correct.

you've got sand in your sensor area for the abs and p-brake lights, it should clean itself out of there after a few highway miles.

There should be a mention of your rear axle on the glove box sticker, if not crawl under and look for a small metal tab on the diff cover. If this fails you can jack up the rear end, supported with jackstands, and turn a wheel forward, if the other turns forward too, you've got the lsd. If it goes backwards you don't. Luck
