I'm putting a Painless Kit in my truck. Its got good parts and bad parts. The good part is if your seriously modifying your truck, its easily conforms. For instance a different steering column, emergency brake system, or like a Lokar Brake pedel assembly. The harness is easily adapted to those things. However for like my truck, I had to add ends to alot of switches myself. Like the brake light switch, reverse light switch, nuetral safety switch, steering column wires, and the cigarette lighter wires, I had to trim and add connectors to each of these wires. It isn't a big deal, but I had ZERO wiring experience before taking this on. I'm learning as I go along. I'm still just working on the interior part of the harness. I found out that to wire up the A/C components you have to buy another small harness for 70 bucks. Also, i'm trying to route the wires as neatly as possible. To do this I've had to route them one way, then undo it and change it, then find another problem, and do it all over again. I just figured out that after working on it for a bout 2 months, i'm gonna have to change the way I have it now for this A/C harness.
Its a long process but when you consider the total restoration of the truck, a completely new harness with dedicated wiring to new circuts like electric fan, fuel pump, plus all new wires that you can run however you want, it didn't sound like such a bad idea to me. Plus it give me a chance to learn about wiring. I'm glad I bought it.
Also, the wire for the fuel tank sending unit is included in the taillight section, which mean they designed it for trucks with blazer gas tanks. But, if you have your in the cab tank still in, you should be able to run that wire under the cab can bring it through the floor with the steel gasline and attach it like that. It is a well constructed harness, but the instructions sometimes are vary shady.
