so today i decided to paint the piece in the back of the truck to make it look a little better.

tools...



masking lol...



all done







came out ok but i used the flat black and it looks faded. ill probably have to redo it with gloss or satin so it matches the carpet in the back.

i also figured out the park neutral switch FINALLY!!!! seems like the switch was in the wrong position so thats why the back up lights didnt come on or starter engage. i traced the wiring and figured out that the ground on the starter relay isnt any good. so i will have to run another ground so it will work. only issue is that the gear indicator doesnt work. any ideas guys??

got a lil delivery today..-6An fittings braided hose and fittings to connect to the trans case. also got my suspension..pro thane full polyurethane bushings! tomorrow i will hook up my new trans cooler lines. unfortunately the cooler on my truck doesn't have a screw on fitting to attach the hose so clamps it is!

so i was able to hook up the new trans cooler today. braided hose lines were somewhat easy. just gotta be careful with the extra steel stickin out it will get ya fingers!

old leaky lines



removed clips and pulled out old lines



removed old fittings



old fittings vs. new fittings



got the new fittings screwed in



heres the trans cooler..



old lines



got the n fittings attached to the hose after some bloodshed lol



hopefully this doesnt leak..probably upgrad this later to one with the correct fittings



lines look pretty good in there



here they are connected



hopefully these things dont leak. i took off all the wiring so i couldnt fire it up..gotta figure out how to get the transmission to align on the crossmember its a PITA with only one jack. damn adjustable mounts!

I have a few questions about your harness. Im working on my old harness right now and cant find exactly where the 4x4 harness ties into the engine harness...it seems as its basically a "standalone" harness. I need to put the 4x4 harness in with my nelson harness. If you have any tips lemme know!

I haven't paid much attention to the 4x4 part of the harness because I'm probably doing away with the 4x4 anyway.

No good! Lol thanks anyway. Maybe someone else will know that reads this. I just need to know where to tie in the 4x4 harness into the new standalone harness from nelson
