    How to: The Comprehensive Brown Wire Mod Thread

    Another happy member ! (newbie) Thanks ! Where do I mail the check ? I stumbled on this while trying to diagnose a problem I'm having with my '96. It didn't fix my problem, but I've got 2WD now and it cost @ $4.00 and less than 1 hr. of my time, thanks to you. B.t.w., 2 u-shaped pieces of...
