Engine Harness is installed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tonight I installed the engine harness that I got from classic hearbeat (Wes). Other than having to move a few wires around it wasnt that bad. Spent about 2 hrs on it (took my time) and got it done right. Man that starter is heavy! Took a good look at my old harness when I got it out and after looking I am amazed it even worked. The wires for the starter were half melted and 1 had a 3 inch piece of wire exposed. The others were so brittle that 1 of them snapped when I gave it a little tug. Just my 2 cents here but if you are running the original engine wiring for these trucks give em a good inspection.

Thanks for letting me rant

LOL

It is fun to put new "stuff" on your truck. Even if you can't see it from the outside. It certainly gives you a feeling of security knowing that the new harness is there! Congrats!
