I think you would be better served fixing what you got than trying to swap all that out.......not to mention obd2.
Throw a quart of Marvel Mystery oil in the engine oil, a quart in a full tank, and see if the blowby doesn't improve significantly by the end of the tank. Get it good and hot towing something uphill if you can.
Im not quite sure where the electrical problem is and haven't gone back to look since I've learned how to use the test light and multimeter. Once I can get a buddy to tow it to a different spot in my yard I will start looking. I negotiated with my wife and get another year. Also thank you for your speedy response. I thought I would get alerts in my email to remind me to come back.
Honestly I haven't had to confidence to start fixing it. I'm new to working on trucks but am finding it to not be as hard as I thought it would be. I've been able to fix a lot on my 88 but the 98 overwhelms me for some reason. I'd love to start but when I pop the hood I freeze then screw around not really doing anything.
Thank you Richard. That's what I thought. Thank you for the answer. It's an 8 lug with a 305. It isn't much but it works for my needs right now. Looking to put a 350 or 383 eventually just not confident enough to do an engine swap yet.
It takes two vehicles with jumper cables and about 40 minutes to get it to turn over. My brother wrecked my jeep and gave me his truck. Drove it twice then parked it because of the blow by. It's sat about a year now. I've been a mess for awhile and am finally getting back around to it all.
