I have no wiring diagram for truck...!

I'm looking for the best places to hook up power for my wideband, dual IAT gauge and also lighting.

I need a place that gets power when ignition is on, doesn't have to be fused and under 10 amps. Preferably near engine bay fuse box

thanks in advance

 

never mind, figured it out

 

What kind of gauges did you get. Can you post pictures I'm looking to get some soon too.

 

I used a minitap for mine.

 

My son 's truck, so.....he ordered autometer wideband and vacuum/boost analoque custom shop gauges, but the lighting was so poor, that we are dumping them (at our loss).

we have a 3 gauge pillar pod (autometer). the 3rd gauge is a glowshift dual channel IAT. It works well, green needle shows air temp in air filter box (which we retrofitted a K & N cone filter into !!)

the red needle shows air temp in the manifold. So between the 2, we will know if the intercooler is working (efficiency, pump running, etc) very happy with this gauge.

The afr wideband is now an autometer digital. It is a pro series, with a few bells and whistles, the best being dead on accuracy with respect to the data going to hp tuners interface, and an alarm (gauge flashes) if afr goes lean during wot pulls. you can program the lean setting, it has peak afr recall , but requires a simple wot switch on the gas pedal. In the 2015 LTZ, we used a nitrous express switch/bracket which needed to have a hole drilled for switch relocation and a bit of the bracket cut off. ( easily done with a hand drill and hacksaw)

We are waiting on the NEW glowshift vacuum/boost gauge

when it's all done. I'll post pics.

I finally got gauge power with a somewhat different method. I didn't like the whipple tap to a fuse, so I took some new fuses (2 blade) and actually soldered to 1 pin thru the side of the plastic portion of the fuse. So, now the fuse has a wire attached on the ignition side, so it is NOT fused. I then sent that wire to inline 3 amp fuses and then to gauges.

Nice thing is that NO wire cutting/splicing was needed and the truck can be returned to stock by simply replacing the fuse.

I took gauge power from IGN misc. I did the same to the whipple IC pump fuse which gets fused power from an o2 sensor fuse (low amperage in that it just feeds the IC pump relay.)

 

This is what I was talking about. Super easy.

Nice...I re-invented the wheel, again....

thx
