Yesterday, I survived the dreaded "death wobble". It was quick. It was freaky. Then it ended. Hope it doesn't happen again and at a higher speed.
On a positive note-
I just (as within the last 5 minutes) did the doghead relay mod. This is the first time in my entire life that I have attempted electrical work on some thing that I own and want to keep alive.
I knew that I had reached the point of no return as I snipped my first wire and thought "Wow...I better not mess this up. This is my ONLY vehicle."
Word of advice to anyone thinking of this, make sure you have the connectors/ring terminals (spade head terminals will work for the two smaller ones, everything worked with 10/12 gauge terminals) BEFORE you start. I got lucky, and my mom gave me a ride to Advance before they closed.
I am real proud of myself for not destroying my CUCV, and I am very VERY grateful to SteelSoldiers for providing this wealth of information. If your considering it, but are concerned about skill or confidence, don't worry. If I can do it, anyone can.
Thanks, fellas.
You guys are amazing.
