OK, I have given up on this wiring....
As some of you remember, I have had some very agrivating problems with my wiring(mainly starter related).
I am now sick of it, and have decided to rewire the entire truck. What are my options as for a package? The only company I know of is Painless. They are pretty reasonable on their price for our trucks(around $280 thru Summit or Jegs). Are there any other companies? If you have used Painless, what are your opinions? Thanks, Nick |

Many of the vendors who sell here offer new harnesses. Or put a post on the parts board seeking a good used one.
I have put many a used harness in because someone hacked the crap out of an old one.

Might think twice about that. If you have a problem and you don't know what it is then it may not be fixed by replacing the harness. If you suspect a particular part of the harness, eng.comp/cab/etc then you might try going to a junkyard and picking up another one and trying it out. It is a cheaper guess than buying a whole new kit.

If you saw my wires you would not be saying that.
The previous owner did a real number hacking up this wiring. Heck, there is even home electrical wires in there ![]() Nick |

I used a vendor calle EZWiring or something like that. It was $100 cheaper than painless and as far as I can tell, has the same features. This wires are labeled (pronted on the wire itself) every 12 inches etc.I haven't installed it yet but it seems like good quality. I ordered it from an ad in Classic Trucks magazine where they have a full page ad. I've changes to gauges and a V-8 and a 700R4, and an aftermarket stereo, etc. The original wiring is not terribly hacked but the insulation is brittle. Long story short: easier to rewire than adapt. However I've wired a car from scratch before with no kit or anything, so it's easier for me than it might be for someone who has never done it before.
