Hi and welcome to mightyram. Mitsubishis are pretty hard to kill - except in the hands of the ghetto rigger. I really don't know why the very basic wiring needs to be hatchetted to fix an electrical fault but it happens a lot. Same goes for regular servicing (an oil flush and change once ina while goes a long way). It sounds like the Conquest had to go so you could move onto the Max you've always wanted. When you figure out how to post up pics, add them to your thread (keeps the voyeurs happy ) You have a bigger plan for your truck?
