I did not know this prior to purchasing it, but learned later on that in addition to getting that Inverter plug we also get the two resolver plugs which will allow us to directly plug in our transmission harness into this Inverter harness, Bonus!

I actually enjoying wiring, especially unwrapping bulky harnesses and seeing where the wires actually run to
Note: second pic shows the unwrapped Inverter plug section, this is where most junk yards will cut off the pig tail for this connector, HUGE MISTAKE as you can see if you keep scrolling down because they lop off the two Resolver connectors which are only about 8" further down |

and separating the strands into more logical branches instead of bundling them all together

... and 7 beers later, here's all we really need, so about $3 bucks worth of that $300 harness, ha ha

here it is all separated into different component runs for dramatic effect

so having acquired all of the components it was time to start building things, so although I bought a VCU kit it does not come fully built, you have to solder on the connector and a few gizmos like this voltage regulator yourself
and being a minimalist I only soldered on one of the two 20 pin connectors as that's all it takes to get the motors to spin, the other connector and the little red WiFi card are for temp sensors and gauges and such, we won't need them till later |

as I attempt to wire this truck up let's count together the few components we need in a 100% electric vehicle
1. VCU - Vehicle Control Unit (the brain, the controller)so I like to build up my electronics starting with the basics, and most need the ground and power leads first, this VCU Vehicle Control Unit aka PCM/ECU/ECM what ever you want to call it, aka "Brain" is no different glowing red LED = Success! |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Ford is already selling their "Eluminator" e crate motor. All available units sold out the day it went on sale. $3900 for a 210kW (281hp) motor not including inverter or battery. I suspect GMs e crate will probably be around the same price.
If your two motors combined provide similar performance you have found a much more affordable alternative. Good work Greg. Thanks for sharing all the details. Can't wait to see it go! |

I am happy to report that the larger electric motor in my transmission is rated at 147 kW or 197 horse power, (remember that 750 watts equals 1 horse power) and don't forget there is another electric motor in there as well, ha ha so combined I am thinking 300 easy without even overvolting yet |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Now how are you going to run your accessories. At min you need lights but I figure you will want ps pb wipers and a radio?

we will use either a Volvo or some other brand of electric power steering pump, this is a very common swap, and keep our current stock steering box we will use an electric vacuum pump to provide vacuum to our stock brake booster the challenge will be the heater as it needs to be replaced with an electric element but there are a couple options for that as well and what's a "radio"? lOl |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Im not big in to electric vehicles, but Im not against them either. I think its a cool build you have going. Most of its over my head, but still cool =)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Have you thought about putting in a fake engine to confuse people?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I checked the youtube vid. Nice work. It has to be gratifying.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Instead of an electric PS pump, how about an electric PS unit from a saturn vue or another GM vehicle that can go in the steering shaft?

One obstacle I think is that most of the true electric Power Steering giddy ups are for a rack and pinion setup and we have ourselves a 100 year old steerin' box. but keep the ideas comin' and The Greg loves linky links, ha ha |

There's a thread on LS1 tech about adding electric power steering to any car for $35. It's quite informative https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...er-issues.html

I wanna show you guys something pretty cool
the Controller board comes with a tiny red WiFi card! so we are going to solder that header connector to the board next (baby steps) I could have added all the gizmos to this board when it first arrived but I wanted to isolate and keep the complexity down to a minimum, plus I wanted to confirm what all is needed to spin up the motors and what is none essentially hopefully you guys and gals follow that logic not bad for Government work! ha ha |

alright so what does that Why Five card give you?
well glad you asked, or at least were thinking that, it gives US instant gauges! |

wait so you're telling me I have to drive around with a stinkin' laptop on my seat to see my RPMs and such?
um no, any WiFi enabled device can work as your gauge cluster, think iPhone, iPad, or an old 7" Android tablet like this... |
