06 3500 Express Van harness modified to standalone.

I figured I should start a thread to put all the pic's in one location.

I bought an 2006 3500 van with the 6 liter engine and took everything I wanted for my swap.

I keep as much on the harness as possible to limit the number of splices I would need.

Once it was all removed I had about 25lbs of wire



I started by unwrapping and using ty-raps to hold the harness in together to prevent it from unraveling making a nightmare mess. I just removed the wires that were not going to the PCM. I was surprised it did not take as long as I thought to remove almost 1/2 the wiring. Saving the wire until done with mod.

After about 3 hours I was down to this.




This is what came off.



I notice the pink and orange wires make a uturn about 6' down the harness from the PCM. (Orange are constant 12 volt and Pink are key on 12 volt)


The VAN harness loops back as there is a big connector that connects together.
This is the part of the mod I found hard to find information about. So I will document it here.
