New project! The "Red Herring"

[lower50's]

I'm working on the front lights right now. Good job !! It may look like a modern truck under the hood but you have great access to everything.

Thanks! Access and serviceability is one of my primary goals on this truck, so I'm glad somebody thinks I'm getting it right

Got my ground bus bar mounted up tonight. Once I get the grounds terminated, the underhood wiring will be 100% complete (though I'm not going to loom anything until I've had a chance to test it all ).


Comes with this nice little water shield. Just like the General did it!

Sadly, there's really no way to hide the mess of wires under the fuse panel. I may end up making a sheetmetal shield just so it's not so obvious when you open the hood.

Tomorrow, with any luck, I'll get this mess laid back into the truck and get the DTC port hooked up so I can run a scan tool on the PCM and TCM and see if everything is playing nice together. Then just finish the fuel fill & lines and I can make explosions!

Maybe try a piece of rubber instead of steel, then you don't have to worry about shorts. I'm hoping controlled explosions.

Mmm, yes that's a thought. I guess we'll see how much it bothers me once everything else is loomed up.

And yes!!! An uncontrolled explosion would put me in a foul mood, indeed
