Re: PO has me PO'd
That rubber inside the grommet will stretch. It's a bear, but it will. I have two of those on the truck, one for the FAST wiring and another for misc stuff. The second one has over an inch of wiring thru it, wrapped in braided sleeve. Getting the 4L80 harness and plug thru it was a nightmare...until I got creative.
Here's what I did.... I took a transmission funnel (lubed with lithium grease) and gradually ran it thru the grommet to open it up. Think speculum. Then cut the end of the funnel off and passed everything thru. Pulled the funnel back out and cut it off the harness. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
![]() With my skills of rod tying and fly tying, I may have found a way to keep the skrunky sound out my shielding, wraping thread around it seems to keep it aligned, we'll see as I keep working on it ![]() It seems that If you twist the shielding, it will allow it to lay better...follow the white tracer

Epic fail, part #2, 1A

Re: PO has me PO'd
This is the saw that I will be using to cut the hole in the firewall. I've turned the RPM down as low as I can get it. I like the grit better, as it doesn't seem to bite in as muchas a saw blade

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Bud, but what else would I do with my retirement. I bought all my tools to do this, over the last 40 years.
I just wish I knew what I was doing, so I could explain it to the forum. Harness is now thru the firewall, just have to shorten wires to make it fit ![]()

Re: PO has me PO'd
Zicc, thanks for the interest, but I may get my oil pan back up first, since the oil has drained out of the engine, I want to prime it back up thru the new oil filter and lines I installed, see what the gauge reads, and then rotate crank shaft, it seems a bit solid. Maybe put something down the bores
any work on your project or are you still traveling alot?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Since I relocated my trans shifter to a trans mount I opened up a hole for the twin e-brakes, single rear wheel each. Stock console should go back to the oem location
