Edit: also I just checked the ohms of the ground at it was perfect. I'll still make it extra shiny though.

The wire between the fuel pump and the flange. One probe at each end.

The pump must be out to test this correct? Mines out but still plugged up. I will be checking for trash soon. I need to jack the back up first.

No, No, Continuity testing IS Ohms testing, like you were already doing. Continuity means it's connected, juice can go through it. Zero ohms is perfect continuity.
I think he's wanting you to check from the terminals on the pump, from there to where they meet the "harness" wires.

Yea, darn. I'd hoped that maybe your problem was running without one.

I also told them that a shop wouldn't probably find anything but tell me it just needed another fuel pump assembly then in 3 weeks I'd be right back where I was and out of big money. That is if I had the big money too spend haha.

Yes. They are good and tight and have no corrosion that I can see.
I will be checking in the tank for trash tomorrow when I get the back a little higher. After that I will have done everything that has been suggested.
Also I thought about what the previous owner told it did to him. He said he drove it and it started going out then he took it home.
He would crank it up and move around his drive way and it would die. He'd park back in shed. Then it got to the point it wouldn't start at all.
This is what it's basically doing to me except I never make it to the point that it won't start because I keep changing the pump. But it's definitely cutting off on me in on the roas after it starts humming and going out. Almost got me killed in early June.
I said all that to say that whatever is burning up the airtex pumps is the same thing that burned up the stock pump. So it's probably not going to do me any good to burn up a Bosch.
It has to be something simple because the jeep runs too good for 2-4 weeks. Then it hums for a week. Then it hums and starts cutting off.
