The switch wasn't too bad once I looked everything over real good. One of the harness plugs was a real PITA to get out like killian had posted. I'm thinking the problem may be in there. I will check the bulbs with a meter tomorrow.

Well I replaced the switch and my back up lights still don't work! Could it be possible that the connectors are my problem?

Is there a relay anywhere that I could check?

If my math all works out it would be out 3" farther than stock. I'm thinking of using like a 265/7...

Whats the cost of having the gears upgraded to 3.73's versus doing a complete rear axle swap that has 3.73's?

Also, if you change the gear ratio for the rear do you have to do the same for the front? Sorry I'm just don't know much about this area.
