Thanks to all that offered help! If you couldn't tell already, I was never in the motor pool group, but do like to fix as much as possible myself. I understand that they are two different systems, but I guessed jumped the gun a little. When I noticed smoke coming from the GP resistor and the only (visible) wire going to the solenoid, I thought it would be a good and easy fix. I have a push button style GP switch in her and I can hear it normally click...not so now. The 9F 3099 solenoid (CAT) was on it the day I got her around 24K miles. Now 86K and she was running good. Replaced the flex plate and IP and really not much else besides oils and tires. She's been a great vehicle up till yesterday. I am hoping I burned out a cable somewhere I did not see yet. I was hauling a good amount of dirt when it temp light went on, but let her cool and it was fine for two days, up till yesterday AM. I will try the recommendations as suggested and sure I'll be back. Thanks again!
Warthog,
The GP Solenoid was wired back the same way it was on originally. I took a picture to ensure it. Top of the solenoid is facing the pass side. Top (big) post Power to GP Resistor and a white wire to the GP button/switch...I think. Going down, to next little post, pink wire. Next little post green and blue wire. Bottom big post, 2x heavier gauge orange wire and a smaller gauge orange wire.
Semper Fi,
Tommy
