I just added a grease fitting to the front axel ball joint that the BB did not have on our M450. This addition would allow me to improve the durability of the ball joint.
Also on the trip to the Flywheeler last weekend I review a front ball join that Jim Brookshire took apart, I believe the ball joint can be rebuilt without major expanse of buying a $1280.00 ball joint from Meritor.
Changing and reprogramming the switches on our M450 is a piece of cake, I have the tools to do that as well, and will offer to help anyone in need to program their switch.

Hish,
How about a new thread with instructions and photos of the grease fitting installation? You are one of the best M450 teachers I have met and I know sharing here would be a great help to us all. See, now that I have embarrassed you into it, we can all look forward to doing this with tried and true DYI advice. Thanks!
