Very interesting.
Solid rear axle and the ground clearance in front leaves a lot to be desired.
Congrats on your purchase. Keep us posted with your progress.
4.0 liter is as tough as the ford. No doubt about that. I've seen the engine run for hours with no oil and they generally travel well over 200,000 miles. Ford motor may go 200,000 I don't know. They usually rust away before that. Haha
I've seen a 4.6 stroker long block available from...
Good to know on the light bar. If your having them made maybe have an extra set made and I will buy them.
The paint is behr color matched from a 3 point seat belt bracket. The black and brown are rustoleum.
Could be a delay module. Also could be a fan cut out switch, fan temperature switch, etc.
There is some great diagnostics and multimeter measurements in

If you unplug the Cadillac valve on the left side while running you hear a difference in the fan pulling air.
Also with the engine off you should not be able to spin the fan unlike a normal viscous clutch.
Fluke makes a better meter, no doubt about that. Price is usually 3 times higher.
My first meter was a craftsman multimeter that worked well for around 10 years. I also use a multimeter in my workplace.
A craftsman digital multimeter from Sears should be good and reasonable.
You could try verifying your meter on your civilian vehicle. Should be around 14 volts. Also measuring the voltage of each battery separately then connected in series (engine not running).
Let me know what you come up with.
