^Yep. That's just something that will happen anytime you touch anything the PO did to the truck.

In that case its perfectly fine were it is at. I have absolutely no background on were this truck came from. It was given to me from a dealership that sold me a $14k POS previously

Mine was owned by a guy who used it to tow cattle around....on stock gears...on 33's.
Yeah, it went through a couple transmissions.

Just out of curiosity, what was the $14K POS???
Sorry for OT.

Been through 2 rear ends. First one with 3.55s let out goin down the highway. Second was when I had the 4.10s and posi put in. Went out a week later due to a bad install. Had it done again for free and has lasted since.

The POS was a 1998 SVT Cobra that I traded my Wrangler in on. Had it for less then a month and the clutch went out. Upgraded to a stage 3 clutch and 2 weeks after that the motor started to develop a "tick". Took it back to the dealer and they said it was all ok and they put marvel mystery oil in it. 2 days after that I was heading down the highway going to work and started knocking and finally threw a rod. Wasnt even beating on it because I didnt wanna make that "tick" any worse.

Nice.
That Cobra was abused by the PO, may have tried to run more boost then he should have.
But I am not going to go into that since this isn't the place for that.
However, nice looking POS, I must say.

LOL, the PTO wire is just in the factory harness for PTO, Power Take Off!

Which is available on 3500's and as an option for a 2500's. The transfer cases are different.

Thats what i kinda was thinking that is was for the HD models like 2500 and 3500. I didnt know if maybe someone had used it for a plow hookup or some other kind of attachment
