This reminds me. Krakkles, Kastein, what crimper dies do you use for those heatshrink splices? Kastein gave me a box of them for AISS a few years ago, and when I finally went to use them a few months ago I didn't get a good crimp using the regular RBY dies for insulated terminals. IIRC the terminal kind of squirted out of the jaws sideways. Happened twice in a row, so I ended up soldering and heatshrinking (not an automotive application). I seem to have thrown away the mis-crimped terminals; should have saved them to look at how they failed.

kastein posted:I use a regular old ratchet crimper. It does damage the heatshrink a little but not too badly. I picked up an astro 9477 crimper that I love for many things including regular rby. I haven't tried it on heatshrink butt splices but they do make an A1 quick change die for it too that's designed for rby heatshrink splices, though I've only bought the H6 and H7 dies for it (besides the five sets of dies it comes with) so far. Yeah the one I was using is just a regular no-name ratcheting crimper with the common RBY dies. If you have good success with these, I'll try them again next time. Must have been a fluke. Thanks!   That Astro kit looks pretty nice, I'll keep them in mind for when I need to buy my own instead of just using the stuff work issues to me.

can't you get from the transmission what gear it thinks it's in, which presumably is what is displayed on your display, and instead lock out your TC lockup in first? like use a relay to inhibit that signal unless you're in 2 3 or 4 i think on TJs it's just a parallel binary readout, so you could use a CMOS decoder to get the individual readouts and build your logic on top of that assuming it's the same on XJs, which, idk maybe im thinking of shifter position instead of trans gear. but still, it should be available in some fashion if your display knows what it is

fair enough. im super abesnt-minded, so if theres a way for me to automate away the possibility of doing a dumb, that would be the way to go for me. luckily it sounds like you can trust your brain better, lol except starter neutral interlocks, those are annoying
