I agree ryan.
But to me I feel the reviews of sellers and products are worth more than PayPal.

No dice on 3/8 12. Not even close. 10mm fit but only succeeded in making a mess. Looks like I'm buying tools.

bought sockets. Started on floor of shed where it is getting regular abuse.


Note to other ... morons ...


Do not remove the wiring from the starter AND remove all the bolts without finding some support for the starter. It will fall right out and onto you.

Try shorting power over to the solenoid. Hannah's has the same issue. Pretty sure it's just a bad wire between fuse block and solenoid.

shorted at relay. With key in "on" started right up.


based on continuity and "trickery" i've got it down to something between the key and the harness. Looks like there is a common problem with the switch actuator. I'm just going to add a "push button" start via my intention to hack the dash. I was 90% of the way there so ... easy for me to complete that.


Anyone got a TJ wiring harness (connectors really) that they want to unload?

Driving down the road, hit brakes, pedal for to the floor. Get it stopped and find brake fluid all over driver rear. I'm starting to hate brake systems. Drums in particular.

Suddenly my massive purchase of dot5 doesn't seem so insane! Was planning on a complete rebuild in June to switch over.

At least I have all replacement for rear sitting and ready to go on.

Disc conversion on a Dana Turdyfive?  8.8 is the conversion!

SMike that's a great idea. I can probably roll over most of the cars here.

Yes there is a disk kit. But it will be attached to an 8.8. Not throwing that kind for $$ at a d35
