Thank you!!! Its lots of work and I'm learning lots also.


A little before and after shot.
I spend some time unwinding and removing the shell with black tape from all the wires in the truck. not inside the cab yet.

I didn't intend on doing this but I started fallowing wires and it turned into redoing everything had to lengthen the injector wires on the drivers side along with some others.

I also did the head light wires.
This is what I have done so far.
It is far more time consuming then I thought.



trans wiring will be next 02 sensor etc

I wish there was a universal build it yourself harness that came long for things like this so you can terminate it where you want.

Hahaha ya that would be awesome and one with only the things you need to run and for others that want other options..
I'm sure some one makes something for it or modifies original ones maybe.


I'm trying to remove what I don't need, Or if I'm not sure and it may cause a problem and not run ill leave it off to the side to be terminated at a later time.

Ya its a mess trying to untangle them.
A few of them are all tied together and join at a point in the middle of the harness I think they must be ground wires.

I pulled it all out one night and left it like that.
Then when I went to work on it again that was my pretty much my reaction also.
All of it useless with out those wires.

Went to do the trans wiring and 02 sensors and all the other stuff and shoved it all under there to see where to rout what.
I'm thinking to pull out the rear 02 wires, The trans wires the round plug one if its possible ill have to see if I can.

I don't like the way the things are sitting fuse box the main board, Ill be relocating them along with the coil packs.

Got it apart this far might as well do it how I want it to look.

Also got a roll pan, the stock bumper is just to heavy I put it on the scale and its 54lbs.
Roll pan is about 13 or so.
Fount bumper will also be gone that sucker also is around 54lbs.
I think with the ss cover as a bumper I could cut it down to 20-30 lbs I'm hoping.

Have not been working on the truck much but got some wiring done thinned it out and decided to keep the fuse box where it is for simplicity and time. Got the wires all doomed just have to hook them up.
I'm thinking of mounting to computer in front of the fuse box where the battery use to be some of the hols happened to line up also.


I'm having some problems with the coil pack where to put them so if any one has a nifty hiding spot do share???
