Awesome progress man! That thing is going to be an animal!

 

Most of the trucks have to outside temp sensors on for the ac system and on for the rear view mirror temp.

 

Ah gotcha, that makes sense. I guess I just assumed the A/C and temp display both ran off the same sensor.

 

 

Thanks! Someone else on another forum said he thought the missing connector was for trucks with an aux fuel tank, so it sounds like that one can stay disconnected. I drilled a hole in the passenger side gap guard thingy below the running light and mounted the other sensor there.

So I found another interesting issue...nothing at all works in the passenger door.

I tested the signal mirror, mirror movement, window, and door lock on the driver's door, all works, but none of that works on the passenger door, neither from the driver's control nor the passenger control.

I'm wondering if I have an issue since the rear doors are not plugged in. Maybe there's a signal or power/ground loop that routes through the rear doors that is currently disconnected? Anyone have any thoughts? I checked to be sure that the harness from each door was plugged in, and I checked all of the fuses and all that stuff is good.

 

Found an unplugged connector inside the door Everything works now.

 

Always the simple things lol. Good to hear it fire up!

 

haha... when i bought my car, the driver's door speaker didn't work & the interior lights/radio would stay on.

took the door panel off to find the speaker & latch switch unplugged

 

Well I ended up having to do a 3" body lift to get the fender/door gap to look right. The spacers actually measure 2-7/8". I had measured the LLY radiator support at 2-3/4" taller than the gasser, so I guess that's about right. I was hoping not to have to go that tall but it is what it is. Hopefully the suspension drop will compensate for quite a bit of that.

 

Too dark to see the body panel gaps, but this is how it's sitting now.

Lowering shocks, bumpstops, and drop shackles are in. I haven't pulled the lift blocks from the rear axle yet, will do that when I put my yet-to-be-procured 9.5 rear end in. I took 18 turns out of the torsion bars, the previous owner had them cranked as high as they would go. There's still a couple turns left that I can take out, but I want to wait until I have the rest of the truck together before I set the final ride height.
