jdog Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Then it's inside the PDC or the wires from the PDC to the starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb S Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 It was the contacts in the pcm where the starter relay goes. It turns over with the key now but it would start with gas. I got the engine bay sorta cleaned up and I got a new valve cover gasket in. Got the Dakota pump installed in a non slosh tank with a motobilt ring. Sold the bed late last night and now I’m gonna start working on the flatbed while continuing working on the weekends to get this thing running and driving. Still need to get the brakes ran and finish the 97 door strikers. Lots to do and not a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb S Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Last thing I have to do to get it running is wire up the Dakota pump. Kinda at a loss because it seems the wiring harness isn’t complete. I may just attempt to make my own harness addition myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I think the link in my sig has a dakota tank/pump install in it. might help figuring out the wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb S Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Today I used a wire wheel to scuff off some crud from where the windshield has been leaking. I found that the floor has been patched with fiberglass already. I just used por15 bc I already had it and I figured I’d cover the whole floor inside and underneath it outside. Next I’m going to put down some kilmat on the tunnel and behind the seats. Also tom it goes off to a buddy of mine to finish up the wiring, plugs, cap/ rotor, and brakes. After that it’ll be back in my shop to do the flat bed, mount the gas tank, and make seat brackets. All within time I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 fiberglass?! what a mess it does look good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb S Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Over the last month me and my good friend worked on this thing to get it where it is now. I’m gonna finish the rest after I ets back home from the army. But for now it runs and drives -most all electrical issues have been fixed -brakes installed and bled with extended brake lines -fuel lines lines routed -non slosh pan adapted to a Dakota pump with motobilt ring -front rough country springs and shocks -diff fluid - 2wd driveshaft shortened(temporary) -transmission linkage and t case linkage next few steps will be to add Cherokee seats, finish up the flatbed, door strikers, and paint.

Caleb S Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 So for the front and rear of the flatbed it’s gonna be made with this 2x6 .25 wall dom. I’m gonna run 2x2 3/16 wall down both sides then brace them. Then comes a gas tank mount and skid, and some tool storage underneath. I’ve thought about running ammo cans sideways underneath for storage. And of course a nice sized vice near the cab on the 2x6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb S Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Having an issue on the wiring harness truck side from the 97+ swap. Not getting enough voltage to the fuel pump. Still trying to figure it out. The brown wire pump side is ground and the yellow is positive. Pump is fine I tested it. Checked all fuses and relays. Not sure boys.
