Manual to power window swap
@Mopar1973Man turns out I'm missing a harness that's pretty important. Plug and play swapping power windows is a no go.....

Death wobble issue rears it ugly head again
NCP (Napa's premium line) is made by Moogs parent company, hence the same part number as Moog. While I'm not a fan of actual MOOG, I do prefer to use NCP napa chassis components. After someone so graciously forced me to replace my steering components, I used a 3rd Gen steering kit from MOOG for $588 plus a new 2ng gen Pitman Arm I have Zero steering issues. As far as the Trac bar goes I replaced the cheap rubber bushing at the axle end with a polyurethane piece I had in my toolbox. Pretty sure it was half of a link bar joint that got tossed in an order. The rubber doesn't last long around here with the crappy roads.

Manual to power window swap
The diagram doesn't tell me if there dash harness is pre wired though.... that's where I'm confused. I've seen guys say it's plug and play to add power windows and mirrors and others say I have to add a harness and relays.

Manual to power window swap
So Christmas eve I was forced to swap my drovers door. Seemed like an opertune time to pull the trigger on swapping to power windows. I've been told that they are plug and play with non power trucks. I'm hoping that I just have the wrong door harness and it's a simple fix. Both door side harnesses have two plugs while my truck only has a single. I know that both donor harnesses had the premium sound system and I assume that's the extra plug. Any help would be nice. I have casually searched previous posts without any luck.

98 standard cab latch won't tighten
So in my research I've come across more posts/threads/articles saying adding power windows is plug and play. Used a power window/lock door to replace my manual and swapped guts in my passenger and nothing.... I'm going to start a new thread so I can maybe help someone else. I did casually search the forum and didn't find much.

98 standard cab latch won't tighten
I got the paint on the bottom of the door. Still needs some adjustment to match the body lines 100%. But I've only had some nights and weekends to work on her. Accident happened Christmas Eve. Luckily I wasn't in the truck when it happened. I took advantage of the rocker coming off to fix a rust hole behind the door.

This was a bad deal, driver not paying attention (on her phone most likely) somehow missed the 6' snowdrift in the road and Dukes of Hazzarded it right into my truck. Not sure how she missed the red and blue lights, everyone else saw them. Fortunately the cab wasn't damaged beyond the inner rocker and some strategic pulling I got it. As soon as I get the fender back on I'll make sure to post pics.

98 standard cab latch won't tighten
So after I was T boned Christmas eve and my drivers door pushed in. I finally got my replacement door on after doing the inner and outer rocker and some rust repair. Now my door won't latch tight. I adjusted the striker as far in as it will go, I even changed the latch assembly. But I can not get the door to latch tightly, it just rattles because it acts like the latch is only tripped part way. I'm at my wits end. I've been without my main truck since Christmas because the person who hit me didn't have insurance and my carrier drug their feet getting an adjuster out....
