How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

In unrelated news, cleaned up all the grounds I could see (foolishly forgot the GP ones) with a wool wire, along with the battery terminals and connections, etc.

First crank since doing so:

Belt squeak at startup is gone

Dont know why, but the turning signal (driver side) no longer works, I assumed it was the bulb that went out but the bulb is still fully operational upon checking.

The driver side turning signal (and consequently hazard lights aswell) do not work and I dont know why.

Most likely bulb connection within the bulb socket, or, socket itself is not making a grounding circuit.
Hook the alligator clip of Your probe tester to a good grounding source. Probe the metal bulb socket, faulty lights turned on, if the test lamp lights up then its a bad grounding circuit.
If the lamp does not light, then probe the individual contacts within the bulb socket.
A little known bulb socket cleaning method is one of those round wire brushes used for cleaning inside of copper pipe before the soldering the joints together.
Hardware stores usually stocks those. I keep several of them in my parts cleaning components bucket.

Once the socket is clean and working, apply some di-electric grease to the socket to keep if from corroding and rusting.

Better would be to use an electrical corrosion grease such as anti-ox. It conducts electricity and the dielectric grease doesn't. It could interfere with the bulb getting a good ground
