Well...I was messing with the Comanche today started cleaning out and wire brushing the grounds and looked at the starter relay and always wondered if those wires are in the right place...
I know about the starter one because earlier I pulled one by mistake and accidentally tapped the power part and almost started the truck...
So I scoured through Google and found out the wires were in the wrong place...
The ground wire was on the ignition place and vice versa...so I pressed all the clips to make a good connection and put them in the correct place and so far the truck is running great we'll see as I drive the truck more and more...

Truck just died in my work parking lot...had to push it into the parking space because it didn't want to crank over...

Morris4x4 has that stuff in stock normally.
Do you still have that AX5 and tcase? Looking for an OD. I can cruise 80mph no problem but "she's a screamer" lol

Picking up my beater from the drive line shop tomorrow. I'm curious how much it's off after the guy said we had to adjust one of your upper control arms 1 inch longer than the other because it just wouldnt "go" got both front and rear diffs rebuilt first time in my life I've ever paid another man to fix something of mine. It doesn't sit easy with me. Worst experience ever besides the fact of getting over charged. Ughhhhh

I wish I knew how to rebuild and regear axles.

this apartment living is for the birds. Can't even change my own oil. I used to do motor swaps in my drive way in Kentucky and no one got offended. Here if a drop of oil hits the pavement you get towed. The guy that did my diffs did a good job. New bearings. Seals. Axles only in the rear. Front still has stock axles. Maybe I'll up grade later. I'll have a house with a garage hopefully by next summer. Until then ...
