I can even get past crimping all the connections since I have all the soldering equip to go back, pop the cover off and git-r-done. Price is great, but I am getting some more info on quality to ease the decision in my head. I just sent them an email earlier to ask about the quality of the wire they use, and some other misc questions about assembly, soldering or crimping wires etc etc to get an idea of the quality of their wiring harness. The harness I want to use is the ez mini 20 harness. Here is a link to the wiring harness company I am looking at. As of this moment, I am leaning towards the 3rd option. I cant think of many cons-but Im sure there is something Im not considering.Ĭonsidering all of this- I want to hear what you all have to say- rip this idea apart(constructive criticism and suggestions)-and then let me know what you would do if it were your truck. Con-.really, the money cost is negligable IMO seeing as doing something like rewire a fuse block from scratch can nickel and dime me to death. Having a 21 or 22 circuit system also gives me room in the future to expand, and the company even gives an option for mini-fuses for a more compact style. Basically just place the box under the dash where I want it to go, run the wiring looms to designated accessory, wire it up, still all new wiring/fuse block. Pros-Wires will be gm color coded and labelled every 6 inches(alieving a huge PITA in itself), and even have the ability for gm collumn connectors prewired into the harness. I would pb go with a 21 or 22 circuit kit that is preterminated and assembled. Get an aftermarket universal wiring harness. Cons-I think it will turn into a nightmare once I get to the interior trying to rewire all of the a/c, ignition, relays etc etc. I could retrace the wiring looms where I want to, clean it up and simplify things some. Pro-would be brand new material to work with, run wire from accessory to the fuse block-snip off extra and terminate. Strip all the wiring off of the donor fuse block, and rewire/terminate/label each system in the truck one at a time ex interior, rear ext, front ext, engine, etc. ![]() ![]() ![]() Con-It will be very time consuming trying to make something out of a mess with all the splicing, tracing shorts, the hassle of stripping it all apart, plus it will still be 20 yr old wiring. Just combine the two harnesses(cucv and donor cab) together making 1 functioning harness. Seeing as this truck will be a frankenstein truck, I am kind of up in the air on what I should do about the wiring. Now, I already have all the parts, with some of them already installed in the truck, with exception to the wiring harness. Along with installing a second rear tank with a switch valve, and power windows/locks/keyless entry, and aux lighting in the bed. My first endeavor will be the wiring harness which I need some input on for suggestions.ġ) I just recently swapped cabs from an 86 half ton gasser.Ģ) I am tossing the th400 for a built 700r4 and keeping the 6.2.ģ) Removing all of the cucv wiring such as blackout light system etc etc to simplify things.Ĥ) For accessories- I plan to convert to a/c, installing a radio(maybe a small system), electric fuel pump and windstar fans. Hey guys.well since I am nearing my Christmas break from school, I will be having roughly a month to tear into my truck.
