Not using it anymore. Running two cables off the battery terminal. One to the starter and one to the alternator/fuse box.

ok, im sure you are running e-fans. I am running nelson harness on mine that is spliced into the red junction box. Not sure how I would route that if I removed it. Suggestions?

Realized I didn't completely answer your question. I am going to have to splice the alternator charging wire into the battery to fuse box power instead of using the stock junction box. Going to upgrade from the stock fusible link and use a 4 ga charge wire and fuse it.

Got my torque converter back from Circle D Specialties freshened-up and re-stalled. Excited to see how she works.

I would have started getting it installed but of course it decided to rain... Took that opportunity to pick up a few of the last pieces I need to get the truck back together. Got some battery cables and ends. Going to try and make as much progress on the truck this weekend as I can.

Well you'll be happy to know that this weekend I made actual progress on it haha.

Got the torque converter installed and the transmission back in. It's now sitting on the new crossmember and I finished getting the cooler mounted and plumbed. Just need to go get another piece of 1 ga. and some 4 ga. for the alternator charge wire and finish mounting the pcm and she'll be ready to rock and roll again.

Really like the AN fittings. Much cleaner and simpler than the factory lines. I assume they are worth about 10hp a piece.
