tried to move and reposition it the other day and something shocking happend....the rear wheels locked up and would only turn backwards....

transfer case and tranny were both in neutral

we're thinking it could possibly be the previous owner who possibly put the shoes on backwards...

Well,where is the loose wires? any connectors on them? colors? When you had the fire you may have blow a fuse or 2. check em if you have not. Get a volt meter and make sure the pumps getting power. check at the relay too.

Hey man, the second pic looks like it belongs on the back of the alternator.

If you have a look at my build, I appear to have the same grill that you have, I hate how mine fits and will be replacing it. I put red lights behind mine, and I think I wanna do a phantom grill on it.

alright yall...i figured out where one of the wires goes...the 3rd and 4th pic....it hooks into the transmission

aslo got the fuel pump off so ill try to see whats wrong with it...possibly replace it

**EDIT**
tested fuel pump...it works just fine..... noticed that the new harness has 2 relays on the drivers fender while the old has 3...so thinking that may now be the issue
