No worries, I was only explaining my decision to go with the Painless setup. Not that I have to explain my decision, just that it may help others to know what it was that made me go with Painless. I have never dealt with the other wiring harness manufacturers so I can only pass on what I have seen, researched and purchased.

Every person has their own budget and what they feel is more important to them. It is true that EZ2wire, Ron Francis, Painless, GEM and the others serve the same purpose...to completely wire a vehicle. Where they all seem to differ is in the fuse block, connectors and instructions (some even use smaller wires). If I were building a Hot Rod or going with a completely shaved firewall, then maybe the EZ2wire product would have been a better fit for me.

I would still like to see one of our trucks with the Ron Francis kit to see what they look like. I have seen them in the pictures on their site but that is it. When I had called them (twice) nearly a year ago and asked them if the fuse block had the firewall bulkhead, she did not know and I was supposed to get a call back and never did. Then I had asked the board if they have any experiences in wiring harness' and thats where painless came in and my reseach began.

I think Painless is the most/best advertised harness on the market. Maybe that is why so many people use them, plus word of mouth goes a long ways. I think that plays a big part of the guy doing his first wiring project. He wants an easy wiring job with little to no hangups, a familiar name that he has heard around gearheads.

Sorry to have all these book sized responses
