Default Bought it a Headlamp Harness................

Received it today!


I bought the one that Dumajones linked in his Trucklite thread...........
It was $9.88 including shipping.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/H4-H4-HEADLIGHT-BLACK-BOOSTER-WIRE-HARNESS-K0TG-/201205671223?hash=item2ed8cae537&vxp=mtr

It appears to be made fairly well, and looks like decent quality......





It uses ceramic high temperature connectors...





And, it uses standard 40amp 4-pin Bosch type relays..........








I'll probably install it later this week when it warms up a little, since we got some snowfall today..........

Took it out Christmas Shopping. BUT It's stuttering when I drive at a consistent speed. Sometimes its when I'm taking off after stopping. It's almost like I'm driving over a rumble strip. If I let off the gas or give it more gas it goes away. I bought the Jeep a month ago with 55K Miles. It did this after 2 weeks of owning it and then one day when I was driving at 55 mph it down shifted into 4th gear and wouldn't come out. The dealership (which is my father in-laws employer who hasn't charged us a dime for anything and provided free loaners everytime) replaced the shift module (?) It then would drive in drive but the stuttering was 10x worse. Then they took it in to "reflash" and it seemed to be better for about another week. However, after driving for several hours today out Christmas shopping it started again. If efforts to resolve the issue I have joined this forum. The jeep will go back to the shop tomorrow. My husband checked the transmission fluid which he said is very low. Maybe that is causing it. Or maybe a the gas cap not on tight? It seems as though it became worse after I pumped gas tonight. I stopped at the gas station and suggested dry gas. My husband put the dry gas in and drove the rest of the way home. The stuttering didn't seem as bad and it made me think that maybe it was because he put the gas cap on tighter then I did....??? Sorry if this sounds ignorant but I'm not a machanic. Any suggestions, input or advice is greatly appreciated. I will look around in the forum and/or post in another location if needed. Thank you.

this weekend...
loaded it up with family, dogs, gun. Drove 330 miles to shoot at woodcock and snipe. Drove them all back (minus some cartridges, plus one woodcock)
It didn't miss a beat - but I do need to look at new speakers!

Me too! Made it there I take it? Got mine a year ago, it's been sitting because of other projects. Looks like I might be doing a clutch job sometime soon.

If you have to change your thermostat to get heat then something is wrong.
