Installing some fuses couldn't hurt in the least. Check with Summit or your local speed/4x4 shop for a fusable wiring kit. I wouldn't think all of your wiring needs to be replaced, but the critical systems, i.e. battery, alt, starter etc, should recieve a thourough once over. The rig is new to...
Is BTB "too" good to check thier re-burn? Can you get your hands on another ecm from a manual for a test run? Can a rev-limiter be by-passed?

Not intending to hijack this thread, but I am a little concerned about my knuckles now. I am preparing to do my spring over, and have just finished upgrading my 78' knuckles to mini units for my Marlin hi-steer. My QUESTION is, what is the right torque setting for the knuckle and steering arm...
