I've never seen a matching male and female connector where the pins didn't match each other when connected together. The wiring diagram with one set of pins listed represents that. In other words, both sets of pins are expected to match the wiring diagram or they wouldn't have drawn it that...

So I wrote the above sentence after I took the pictures and figure it all out. I forgot the solder side IS labeled as well. The switch connector isn't assembled wrong.

Actually I made certain I was not buying a china crap switch. This is a legit military manufacturer.

I took the switch apart the rest of the way so I could make sure it matched the schematic above. When I first started to check the wiring of the pins to the switch I kept getting lost quickly because I would chase a wire from the pin to the switch and it wouldn't go where I expected it to. I'd...

I bought a 4L80 and a 242 low mileage take out for $1200 with TQ converter. A transmission crossmember $75, new factory 4 speed shifter $450, shifter rods $50, new rear drive shaft $120, front drive shaft and rebuild it $150, rear yoke $25, speedo $100. I used the Quick Shift 4 and couldn't...

You should use a twisted pair for the wiring. I have some of those connectors, pins, wire and the crimper to do the job if you don't get anywhere.

Are they clearly marked Left and Right? :LOL:

I bought the switch a couple of weeks ago and then had to figure out how to get it apart. Not knowing how it was put together and what to expect, I wanted to be careful with the disassembly so as to not damage it. Of course I tried to pull it apart by hand after I removed the silicone seal on...

You probably noticed this but just in case, the posts you are replying to are about 4 years old.

I haven't been working on the truck much but I have been enjoying it. In another thread (by Mogman) there was some discussion on how the stop lights work and a way to rewire them to add a little safety. I liked the idea and looked for a different way to implement the same basic changes. I...

So it's about not being an adult now LOL LOL LOL, you guys crack me up.

I've been in it since early on, I make up about 1/3 of the posts at this point LOL. I don't get the negative comments. I think it is quite simple, if you don't like it, don't do it but why crap on others if they want to do it to their truck? Why does anyone care about how my brake lights...

LOL, partially. In my case, I seem to forget about the lights until I go to use my directional the first time and it doesn't work. Then I turn them on. I'd say that is about 1/3 of the time. The bad part is I didn't have brake lights until I turned them on. I don't want to get rear ended...

There are certainly some that are capitalizing on the demand for some parts. To the shifter itself, it is still available directly from AM General in costs about $600, new from the manufacture (See pic below). Depends what you want for your truck. The new one has the correct gate obviously as...

Since you asked and made me think about it more, I came up with another version that would retain the BO Driving light in the front. It would also allow the brake lights be shut off for BO driving but would allow the regular brake lights to function when the switch is in the off position. It...

Wow, looks like a military vehicle, complete with well thought out features for use as such.

Don't like it, don't read it. It's really that simple. My steering wheel lock would probably send you over the edge. LOL

To point One, you are correct, it is a military vehicle BUT I'm not in a war or the military. Point Two, Why when I can easily make it safer for my everyday needs? Does that bother you so much to tell us to "go buy a 4WD SUV"?

Yes, that is an easy one, don't do it. I never use BO and I regularly forget to turn on the stop light (no brake lights) until the first time I go to use the directional signal and it doesn't flash, then I remember to turn them on. I personally would prefer not to get rear ended more than I...

Rev 2 The modifications in RED make the brake lights work full time. They also disable the Black Out lights so they can't all be on at the same time. The modification in PURPLE does two things, first it moves the driving lights (tail lights, markers etc) to the STOP Light position of the...
