    Starter relay got me before I fixed it, now the starter gear wont engage?

    OK... starter relay went. Got it. Fix is in process. But, when I jumped the red wire and the purple wire to hopefully be able to start and drive the truck... the starter spun, but the gear did not pop out. I have a starter on the way also. Do I have another problem?

    very slight rough idle

    M1009. It runs good, starts very easy, etc. But, at idle (even when warmed up)... there is a little roughness that comes and goes. Well, it always does it... but it is not constant. Sitting at stop lights is when I notice it the most. Cant remember if I notice it when it is in park or not...

    All these pins and no power brake signal?

    I have been reading for about 30 min now... and doesnt look too difficult to get a brake signal, running lights and turn signals. But, I am surprised there isnt a powered brake signal for electric brakes already in the factory military trailer plug. Surprised and disappointed.
