Im no electronics expert but I think much of that is semantics. Same part, different name. Most guys say www.wranglerfix.com is the way to go for ecm fixes. Perhaps macho will kick in with some knowledge. He puts these together in his sleep ;)

No, its not normal. Th ECM regulates the alternators charging output. It has nothing to do with the alternators charging abilities. Not having a clue what the "new wiring" entails, the wiring could be wrong, or your ecm has problems. You should see 13.8 to 14.3V with it running.

I see marks on both the line end and large nut holding the bleeder nipple. Have you tried to open the actual bleed nipple? Brake line wrenches work wonders.

The clutch pedal should obvious is its disengaging the PP or just compressing air in the line or slave. If he has to kill it to get it into R that says a bunch IMO about the clutch not disengaging.

Sounds to me bad ground(s). Hot wires, dimming lights and notoriously bad grounds on jeeps. Dirty headlight plugs, grounds there. The dash cluster is also grounded. You can also add grounds anywhere, never hurts. Just make sure you go to clean metal where they are landed.

If you just have to have PLEASE look inside the frame holes in back and front. As the guys said they can rust from inside out bad. Id pop that air filter off if you could and see how much dirt is inside that intake tube due to what I believe is a Spectre gauze filter. Otherwise It looks pretty...

Hope you didnt wrestle to hard on the shifter s you could bend a shift fork. Doesn't sound right that even stopped not running it would not come out of 5th. Running I can understand if the TB was not working or the PP springs/fingers/parts were broke. With the trans out you should be able to...

You didnt say what year your jeep is, however what you have is the early style internal slave cylinder. No fork, just that hydraulic throw out bearing which is the part with the 2 lines and the bellow around it. Buy a Luc kit off Rockauto and be done with it. Typically new slaves come with new...

Id start with bad battery connections or cables. Cables can look OK but internally their shot and full of corrosion.

I wouldent pay but $4500 for it. 4 banger,no top, theres and other $600 or so. Looks like a Spectre rock filter for an air filter. Id lay odds the dealer gave about $2500 in trade in on it.

How big is your bank account and do it have rust?

Pretty much a pull/push process. If its stuck time to open up the steering column and fix it.

Hats off to ya as we both play with fire and thank you for your service (y)

What's gear ratio does your YJ have now?

Dang man, thats crazy overkill IMO. MFG'ers put that kind of maint schedule in the manual hoping your a dummy and take it to the dealer for a $300 a year major lube service. You doing a lot of water crossings and getting intrusion?
