Well I ordered JK's light booster and installed it. I followed the downloaded instructions until I had the Diode in hand and wondered where it went to - black and grey male adapters??? Called JK and sent a cried out for what to do. After looking at it and seeing that it probably hooked up to the female adapters of the original wiring harness (stupid me) mission over (or so I thought). Tried to fire the burb up and notice no glow plug time (Uh Oh). Tried it twice same thing. Gave it a crank anyway and yup hard starting - but no start. Turned it off and got glow plug time and started. Check to see my handy work and yes brights in the city tonight! Well, had to take the wife somewhere and jumped into the truck got down the road, noticed no RPM, voltage down to zip and irregular MPH reading. Going through mental check list of possible problems with my pea size brain is going 100 mph (and smoking too). Pulled over and and came to the conclusion it had to be the diode. Pulled the diode out and refired the truck - voltage still down, no RPM. RPM is alternater driven - did I short it out? Open the hood and noticed I didn't hook the plug back in the alternater. Morale of this story is don't get excited over an new upgrade and check everything twice before going anywere. Just a bad case of the stupid attack!
